What about Linux, you fucking Microsoft idiots? There is no Silverlight, only a crappy version of it which has 5% of the performance.

My grandpa drinks beer and uses the internet but guess what, he doesn’t know how to install Silverlight! Nor does my brother and some of my friends.. and all of them drink beer.

I really find amusing when some of you say “you just need to install X”. Stop and think about it, you’re all smarter than that!

Hello all. This post was...

Tiago Pinto — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:17:30 GMT

Hello all. This post was by no means an attack to fullsix. There are a lot of bad, half-assed websites done by portuguese agencies to portuguese clients. I wish I could give the same time and attention to each one.

Ricardo: About Silverlight’s market share being my only argument, that’s because that really is the major reason I see for not using Silverlight at the moment. I do keep in mind that it is a new technology, but that’s exactly the reason for not using it for public, consumer applications.

Trust me: there’s nothing fundamentalist on my post, neither against Silverlight nor Fullsix. Really.

Thanks for reading my rants, anyway :)

pedro salgado — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:04:09 GMT

you should also take into account that superbock also sells beer to people who have Sagres, Heineken at home.
What’s the problem of having a silverlight application for those who already have flash… if the experience is good, people will install it.

Goalkeeper — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:05:06 GMT

I think superbock also sells beer to people who never had drink beer before… so they can use silverlight for people who doesn’t have it installed on their machine..
both processes are fast: installing silverlight is as fast as opening a cold bottle of beer for the first time. enjoy the experience

cheers.

Ricardo Fiel — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:38:01 GMT

Hi there! How’s things? Long time no see.

I was lead developer on this project. I believe in Silverlight, but that’s not the point of my comment. I’ll do a more complete post about this in my blog.

SuperBock has two other search engines for cinema (one in flash in the home page, another in html and jquery). I don’t know if the Silverlight one is supposed to replace the others, and honestly I don’t see the point in anticipating if it does or doesn’t. That’s their decision.

IMHO, the Silverlight one has a great user experience. Each of the 3 cinema search engines has a different goal.

My only criticism to your post is the lack of knowledge and facts to backup such an harsh judgement. I enjoyed reading it (I really did), but THE ONLY FACT in it is the silveright market share being around 30 % at the time. keep in mind that it’s a new technology, it’s growing FAST.

The rest is no more than merely speculative thoughts of how you think the business relation works. I wasn’t expecting this kind of vagueness from someone like you.

But, overall, thank you very much for your point of view. Take it easier the next time ;)

Cheers,
Ricardo

Daniel — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:31:13 GMT

Allow me to quickly delve into science fiction…

You can’t listen to every song, watch every movie, or read every blog, but your ‘digital self’ can.

A digital persona, built from your explicit profile and implicit/gathered digital experience, that is so much like you, that it is virtually yourself in digital format.

Something like ‘you2’: http://tinyurl.com/czrx4n

Now step back from science fiction, and imagine a group of slightly nutter engineers working on what could one day become a reality ;)

It might not happen on our lifetime, but I’ll be damned if one day my grandkids won’t have something resembling that. At least that’s the long term vision for my project: grokya.org ;)

Yeah I noticed that too.

Another store that really gets on my nerves is Wok (at least in Colombo), where it’s almost impossible to read the menu due the positioning, it’s like they don’t want you to pick some food!

Bernardo Raposo — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:30:48 GMT

I believe breaking the sentence into two lines is unacceptable in this layout, but perhaps changing the colour of the dessert label would be enough to lead people to group the juice and the soup.

You’ve discovered the pain that ignorance causes. :) It is good to feel that, it makes us understand that our knowledge is tiny compared to what we might have known if we had infinite time and means.
