Wife just left for the middle east for the next 4 months, not looking forward to being alone for that period of time. Not really sure what to feel....

Grinder time

It'll be OK Kevin, SHE is a WOMAN in the middle east...Surrounded 175:1 by MEN between the ages of 18-25 who haven't gotten laid in months

Nothing to worry about here

diagnosed my inop drivers seat heater to a busted thermostat. What is the part number for one / where do I even get one? I tried searching for the last 30 minutes and couldn't find a part number for one

What's everyone think of the new Google Maps (desktop version)? I like the extra display area a lot. But I find the whole "application" to be very sluggish. Feels heavy, bloated. And I hate that every time I search for something, the drop-down appears below the search box and I have to click to get it to go away.

I have a feeling I'll slowly find changes I like, but so far I just get instantly pissed off any time I use it.

Ditto. Fucking programmers don't know when to not fix something that isn't broken. My PC is not a tablet, don't design programs like they're "apps"!

The programmers are not the people who make those decisions. The changes are driven by UI specialists, marketing and branding people, and the advertising department. If you'd like to see a case of something that was left alone, go see how Yahoo did for the second half of the 2000's.

I don't understand the second half about not designing things like they are "Apps". What do you mean by that?

You're right, it's the UI designers, not the actual coders.

They're pushing touch screen centric dumbed down UI design in all sorts of places, Windows 8 is the most horrendous example I can think of off the top of my head.
