I love great layout and I think this is impressively done. However, shuffling through pages somehow felt like more work to me than scrolling the same type of content on a webpage. I think that's becau…

New media outlets are always abused blatantly before they are used properly. As a site about a phone, the Xperia Play "site" (it's only a facebook fan page) gets an F. No photos, no technical specs...…

Naming is hard, but try to keep at it! It's so important to get a dot-com domain name that's spelled like it's pronounced. You'll be surprised how many times your name will be used offline: conference…

I don't know. I actually think he has a pretty good point here. I'm generally positive on Google but I'm embarrassed by their public tantrum. If I was advising a startup with similar grievances agains…

I'll bet before the floppy disk icon gets a chance to be replaced, the concept of manually saving files will be obsolete. It just might serve us 'til the end.

As Mozailla defines it, an open web app works in all modern browsers across the desktop and mobile. That idea thrills me as a user but gives me a sick feeling as a developer. Unless your app is fairly…
