Auto-correction on webOS
I have never used a webOS device (TouchPad) but sounds like it handles auto-corrections in a better way.
My biggest problem with text input on iOS is its flaky autocorrection. I’m regularly typing words iOS doesn’t auto-correct properly, so I need a simple, quick way to revert autocorrection. iOS doesn’t have that. webOS does. Simply hit delete after webOS corrects something. Rather than...

False Beliefs in Software Engineering
I must write my code to be as flexible and extensible as possible. This line of thinking is often instilled in students by professors: Don’t just solve the problem you’re trying to solve. Generalize and solve the class of problems it belongs to. The goal is to require as little change to your code as possible to enhance it in the future and to make code as re-usable as possible.

Skype 5 for Mac - A Disastrous UX
It seems Skype has noticed that there is a discrepancy in quality between the two versions, and has decided to make the two versions more similar to each other.

Syncing Todolicious via Dropbox
Todolicious is a simple mac app that handles your tasks easily. It doesn’t support folders, tags or any other GTD structures. If you often have 30 tasks in your todo list, probably, it is not what you’re looking for. I usually try to keep my list less than 10 items.
If you use multiple macs, you definitely need to sync your todo list among your computers. Unfortunately, Todolicious...

Calligraphy Address Stamps
I discovered these lovely stamps that are primarily used for printing return addresses. I am not a big fan of snail mail but am definitely a fan of typography! More stamps can be found at her flickr page.
