comment Do people really want to look at multiple windows at once?
Just thought I'd mention there's some interesting discussion going on on Hacker News about this question - news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5001308

comment Why is Google's “I'm Feeling Lucky” button still next to the search bar?
The article mentioned by Tom also has this statement from Google Search boss: "It's possible to become too dry, too corporate, too much about making money." She said, "I think what's delightful about 'I'm Feeling Lucky' is that it reminds you there are real people here."

comment Why are there three (3) default worksheets in MS Office Excel?
This kind of answer is what makes the Stackexchange sites so great. I just typed "excel why 3 default sheets" on Google and find an answer from the Excel team itself. Brilliant.

comment Why don't ATMs give you cash before your card?
Since you put a smiley after "its a human behavior that we never forget to take the money", you probably mean that, in fact, we sometime do forget the money. That makes the rest of the answer a bit weak.

@Chad, it depends where you are from - in the US and Europe, most banks will refund your account if you lose your card and it's used illegally. See updated post.

@JonW, if you lose $10,000 just because you forgot your card, your bank must have some serious security issues. In mine, you'll need the PIN to pay in a shop, or the 3D-Secure password if you order online. Even if you have this they won't allow withdrawing that kind of amount without checking your identity first.

I doubt banks would admit they changed ATMs for their own benefit, and to the detriment of their customers. They will most likely come up with excuses like, indeed, "many people forget their cards". From a customer perspective it's obvious that forgetting the cash can be much more costly than forgetting a card.

comment How different should two colors be to appear distinct to the human eye?
This is a good resource, but I agree with @rogerAttrill, the tool cannot be used to evaluate two adjacent background colors. I just tried it and my colors don't pass the test since, of course, light yellow text on white background would be unreadable.
