Check out the icons Gravatar stole for this page:
Let’s see. The computer is from Vista, the globe is… I dunno where it’s from, but it looks familiar. The webcam is the camera app on the iPhone, and the folder-and-hourglass job is, I think, from an old KDE theme. Way to slap that one together, guys, especially on a page every user sees.
I have to agree; this is wacky.
Photoshop: Background layer feels like a relic, genuinely…: “
Photoshop: Background layer feels like a relic, genuinely can’t see a point in having it there anymore and I’m fucking sick of pressing ‘Layer From Background’ get rid of that shit in CS5 please.
Ohh turns out you can just double click it then hit return too, Thanks Flambino

How’d I miss this one? Oh, right, it’s completely non-obvious and there’s no tooltip. Anyway, if you click the replied-to icon, Mail will find and show you the reply. Nifty!
Github makes a nice joke while you’re waiting for an archive to be created:
An icon without a label is inexcusable. I can hardly believe this one, it’s such a blatantly awful mistake, and such an easy one to fix. See these icons?
They’re lovely images, actually, but I have no idea what they mean because they lack tooltips on hover. So, cart. Someone’s going to buy it? Someone’s already bought it? What? I never quite figured that one out. Dollar sign is easy enough: Money has been exchanged. The box? Shipped? Received? Nope: it means “Shipping label printed.” Star with a pencil? Write something? Written something? At least the next one, the star with an envelope gives some clue. They’re “Feedback left” and “Feedback received.”
Why did I have to think about that? It’s not the user’s job to figure out your iconography, certainly on a web page, where fixing the problem involves nothing more than adding title="This picture means this thing" to the link tag. Epic fail.
