   So much negativity here. IMO the themes alone could be worth it. However the whole thing seems a bit laggy in the simulator he shows. 3GS is still on sale and I find that even with native iOS 5 it feels slow - I wouldn't want to run such a

   Thanks for asking this. I thought it to be a bit smug of OP not to include an explanation. Like everyone here knows the C specs in and out.

   1) As OP has pointed out, security is not just about effective security, it's also about the perceived one. Cleartext passwords are so unusual it makes me question as a user, how things are handled in the backend. 2) I don't see the problem

   What you show in the video looks pretty good. A few things that caught my eye: The signup form is unconventional. that in itself is ok. but the cleartext password text field is a really bad practice. Also the whole thing just looks very han

   I actually couldn't load the site, HN has apparently nuked it. But I can deduct from the comments that it's another benchmark comparison. Aren't we missing something essential though? C and C++ give you the possibility to make self-containe

    IMO there is a fundamental difference between pinch-to-zoom and slide-to-unlock. The pinch gesture -) has quite a bit of prior art, most notably minority report -) is similarly self-evident on a multi touch surface as drag-and-drop using a

    Thanks for your input. Yes, this is always one of the hardest things in UI design: Do I optimize for the "power user" (yes that dreaded word again) or the common user? Can I do both without any compromises? Besides possible monetary benefit

    I hate to nitpick, but that choice of background music strikes me as rather.. poor.

    Not to mention the physical issues. My wife was nursing and according to her the inability to carry most of the patients is one of the bigger problems in that field. The way it works now you need a group of male employees basically just for

    Of course a tree would be best. I just wonder whether can be presented in a way that is still intuitive for common users. I'm thinking one could emulate a linear history on top of the tree and just present the tree when desired by the user.

    And that's why we can't just delete the save button. We need to rethink the way users "commit" as you say. Apple's versioning is an interesting take, but its UI is too hidden IMO and they didn't get the "Save-as" feature right, which still

    Don't say this is the user's fault though. People with weak eyesight NEED to get stuff bigger and because of tons legacy software even Windows 7 can't really help you with scaling. Scaling the resolution is still the only really viable opti

    I'm sure that convoy driving is another 15-20 years in the future from the point where self-driving takes off. However it's not like those dangers you mention cannot be managed. Self-driving cars already require a wide array of sensors - to

    Actually I wasn't talking about myself. So far I've only been working part time as a software engineer during my studies and I want to start a company next year. So, IF it works out, I could have that luxury. But I still find it a bit silly

    Makes me think.. is the NS prefix in cocoa frameworks short for "newstruct"? I always wondered about that one.

    Again, what you say is equivalent to saying "I quit". Not everyone has the luxury to choose all the tools he works with.

    That's honestly something you will only understand after having used a macbook for some while. There's tons of stuff Apple does that annoy me, especially what comes out of their legal team. I always check out the new gear from other manufac
