A pungent mix of programming, philosophy, pedanticism, procrastination, perplexity, peripheral political polemic, and platters of preposterousness.

Techdirt are reporting on how MySpace are breaking the “don’t treat your users like morons” principle. Do you blame them for trying? Based on their page designs, most MySpace users are morons. This kind of fiddling justifies me in leaving my MySpace account unused. MySpace users with brains and readable web pages will take their custom to another (more open) place. It’s also a pigs ear to look at. There’s no real way to see who’s doing what on MySpace - it’s the ultimate non-entity website in that it has everything, but doesn’t do anything.
