Awesome, this is one of the last flash websites that I still use and the flash implementation is so annoying because it doesn't respect the browsers state. Thanks Adobe!

The way you inferred that sounds like how my ex-girlfriend infers emotions from texts. And you quoted him saying something he actually didn't even say--another popular move by my ex. > "…

What resolution are your running your rMBP at? I'm on 1920. When I change my settings, to the default resolution, things get worse.

The footer isn't so bad on a rMBP, but that's still not a very good excuse for why it's so big on lower resolution machines. I did find the information on the page quite helpful.

If this is an Ad, what exactly is Apple trying to sell me? I don't have a background in marketing, but I'm not sure how this is an effective ad? I feel like todays consumers have short atten…

I don't know if you've used the framework or not, but based on your response I'm assuming you haven't. You can't run the library without instantiating and instance of the Pix…

The Simulator wont start but I didn't really look into it. Ever since the first β iOS that Apple developed, they usually do massive changes so I'll wait until β 6+ to re-test it out.

Ah the ole' get users THEN make money strategy. I paid for Pixate and I think it had value at the $99 price point. This decision to make it free makes me think that their new strategy taking the…

Not sure if the decision was made due to iOS7, but mine (Paid version) doesn't run on iOS7. IMHO, this is needed even more in iOS7. Some of the UI design choices on iOS7 are terrible like the re…

I'm using it right now, the ./PXEngine.framework directory which is what you import into your project is 5.2M. Honestly, the framework is pretty awesome. It makes styling your application a…

I'm not a Sublime user yet, but I've always been interested in it's interface. I'm trying to figure out if it's a replacement for a text editor like VIM or a heavier IDE like…

Well seeing as how they are using it in Star Trek and that takes place in ~2265, we've got a few hundred more years. As far as "confusing and boring" I think that depends on the impleme…
