Capital One

joshkim:

I like so many things about Capital One. Service is great. I just redeemed a reward balance of $3.03. Just fantastic.

Except for the fact that this is the only credit card company I use that doesn’t have an autopay option… online anyway.

Called them just now, and it looks like they need the voided check and blah blah blah 4-6 weeks blah blah blah.

What is this, the 90s?

I haven’t had any myself, but too many around me have had problems with autopay shenanigans that I am becoming a bit wary.

Gotta love the zero foreign transaction fees tho.

Now It All Makes... A Little Bit More Sense »

joshkim:

Read this.

And if you also think that this is probably one of the more enlightening things you’ve read in a while, we should be friends.

I was reading the Steve Jobs on the plane and I keep imagining the fit he would have thrown over something like this.

The force of presence in these shots of Milford Sound. You can’t see these and not imagine some powerful ancient spirits.

A bit belated, but I’ll say one and only one thing regarding Mr. Ebert’s statement on video games: Holy *&@ suntimes.com, why would you load 3300+ comments, some quite lengthy, on the same page!?

More Things That Piss Me Off In iTunes.

I’m deleting an App. Why in the world would I want to keep a copy of it in my folder? Why the heck is the default to “Keep Files”? Do people actually keep copies of apps they’ve deleted? It’s not like I can’t just redownload it via the App Store, which is one of the (Few? Ahem.) awesome things of it.

Always, “tab tab tab space” rather than just “enter”. ARGH.



It’s because that’s how most (all proper?) dialogs of similar nature work. As per the Apple Human Interface Guidlines:

default button  The button that provides a safe action in a dialog. The default button is indicated by a pulsing appearance. It is activated when the user presses the Return or Enter key.

WHY is png the default for capturing images for Movist? When would I not want to capture in jpeg?



I don’t know.

But I believe it is also PNG by default in VLC as well. I actually wish other players like GOM would have PNG as an option. It’s not too mised because GOM let’s you set JPEG quality.

In general, however, lossy image compression on top of already “lossily-compressed” images just doesn’t sit well with me, especially since the latter was compressed with moving picture optimization in mind and not still images.
