That site, while beautiful, really frustrated me. I kept clicking to get something to happen, but couldn't. I tried to scroll and each time it would put me back at the top of the page. Let's…

Whoa, that's completely unfair. In fact, wherever it's possible (like on independent projects), I work with alternative software. Not to protest Adobe, but because I just think there's …

The rep I chatted with said that AT&T phones "cannot work with other SIMs." The implication was that they cannot be unlocked. Seems fishy, though, so I'm going to confirm. Anyone ha…

It's maddening that their default position offers no real amends for their 38 million impacted customers, save for a free year of credit monitoring. Canceling my card and getting it reissued is n…

Another advantage: an unlocked phone can really help for international travel. I'm heading from the US to Hong Kong and my friends with unlocked phones can get local, prepaid SIM cards for very g…

I'm reminded of this Quora post on the popularity of Dropbox: "Dropbox: Why is Dropbox more popular than other programs with similar functionality? Well, let's take a step back and thin…

I disagree with this. It sounds like he had the reasonable expectation that the files WERE backed up, living both locally and on Google's servers. He might have even thought he was testing his ba…

No, it sounds like in his case, they were just pointers. I wonder, too, what happens around offline access. "The steps I took were to move files out of a Goole Drive folder on my local computer t…

As an extended state machine, it's certainly an interesting concept. I also love that you describe the components of your workflow in JSON, but the logical pieces are I think where this approach …

So SWA is a pretty specific example, but what about Apple? What about when you are searching for, well, information about apples? And can SWA ever own the term "Southwest"? When you think it…

A couple of years ago, I watched a guy explaining his concept starting with nothing but a blank canvas in Adobe Ideas (very similar iPad vector drawing app that's been out a while). He'd ske…

I think it's because the zooming brings things forward, but the perspective of objects don't change as they pass.

While it looks like the source icons originate in Illustrator, what impresses me is the high level of support for other standards, making the icons useful and customizable outside of any graphics soft…

I've always thought there was a subtle genius to Facebook's approach of showing ads in this manner. On the positive side, it _should_ filter the in-stream ads down to the companies that your…

Las Vegas seems like a challenging environment to make it work, but I think he's definitely on to something. I think this is why the technology scene in California pivoted to San Francisco. It&#x…

No. Sure, being a single founder challenges everything about you. Likewise, being a cofounder challenges everything about that relationship. I think it's better to 'settle' for finding …

Interesting spreadsheet hack, but it's just looking for a 200 response. I use Pingdom, which allows you to look for specific content in the response, even on the free plan. It's a better gua…

Well, if it's not a real mission—if it's marketing bullshit—you'll never fool your own people. They'll see through that in a second. Graham Weston has a worhwhile TEDx presentation…

Developers—the good ones—don't want to work for you. They want to work for a cause. They want believe that their work will have real meaning; real impact. This is not instead of a good salary, th…

I heard it used that way from growing up on Military posts. It just means any fucked up situation. I'm not sure it's known, but I was told it was made popular by troops in Vietnam. The most …

To unlock your phone? Each time you need to use / check it?

The article contains this gem: ...Redesigns of other people’s work is pure folly e.g. the new Yahoo logo, iOS7, changes to Facebook, the New New Twitter, the American Airlines rebrand. People have no…

I think the madness won't end until we stop looking at housing as an investment vehicle. Housing is an expense. We're all renters to some extent. Even when I own my home "in the clear,&…

But you truncated the quote for impact. It ends with: “And for some patients and for some microbes, we are already there.”

I'm mixed. Animation aside, some of the decorative formatting that has always made for beautiful print pieces really seems to get in the way on the web. Not sure I can explain why exactly. I was …

This is an interesting perspective. However, I come for a different vantage point: I'm a terrible employee and I feel that the world worked hard to force a "corporate career path" on th…

I've been around adverting for a long time. I've been in agencies, I've freelanced, I've been the client. I've worked with individuals that charge $70/hr and teams that c…

Interesting: "Surprisingly, Apple's MagSafe patent was not the problem. The cadre of lawyers specifically called out U.S. patent 7,354,315, 7,901,216 and 7,500,882 as problematic." - h…

That's one of the best product names I've come across in a long while.

I pretty much agree with all of the points in this article. I do wonder, though, why Bustle.com (the example used) is an Ember.js app and why it displays nothing but a blank page if Javascript is turn…
