I am in the middle of constructing my own piMAME powered arcade cabinet. I've wanted one for years and building it has been one of the most fun things I've done.
But very little data exists about the happiness levels of people in a country where despite income inequality the poor have a higher living standard than they did at any other time in history, as it is in the US. If the poor are doing better than ever, and the rich are doing better than ever, what's the problem, really?
There is, for instance, the problem that some "goods" cannot be produced although people care very much about them, namely partners to start a family with.
Unfortunately, women tend to be attracted to relatively rich men, which can result in a lower "supply" for relatively poor men if a rich man can attract several women (for instance, by using serial monogamy). It's been suggested that this leads to a larger amount of violence in poor neighborhoods (due to increased competition among men).
Which leads to another problem: Being relatively poor may not be a problem, provided the level of wealth is secure. Due to the lack and inefficiency of social safety nets in the US, however, being relatively poor can always turn into being poorer still.
Since being relatively poor often means living in a relatively poor neighborhood with a higher prevalence of violence, there's a good reason for feeling insecure all the time. Your son may get killed in a drive-by shooting, while your daughter may get raped. Meanwhile, you may get robbed.
Even if one's situation is not as critical, it's always possible to become critical. For instance, one may simply loose one's job, and thus the means to provide for a family. Or one becomes ill. The number one reason for declaring personal bankruptcy in the US are medical bills. A large percentage of these people were health insured, by the way.
These are just a few examples on the top of my head.
They should configure their browsers to forget cookies within 30 minutes of non-use. Chrome can do this with the Vanilla browser extension, and I use it myself, with whitelisting for a few sites, to ensure most unwanted, long-living cookies get wiped clean regularly.
If I forget to log out, my account is open to everyone. If I forget to click "remember me", I have to sign in twice. Making systems that fail safely in case of human error is a good thing.
Although one of my favorite ideas was a system I saw at a hardware store. You could use their terminals to look up products. The terminals had a pressure pad in front of them, and as soon as you stepped off the pad, it ended the session, cleared the cookies, and logged you out.
Lee Valley. They're a Canadian chain that mostly sell high quality hand tools, cabinet hardware, and gardening equipment, and apparently they're pretty popular for woodworkers in the USA as well.
It feels to close to Bootstrap without bringing enough new stuff to the table to be worth it. It's nice to see people making alternatives, but it needs to be a lot more developed.
Well, like I said above, it addresses some internal issues my colleagues had. It also tries to make a lot of things simpler for web designers (especially regarding the grid system) without tying you down too much.
