Plenty of celebrities get remembered too. Ever heard of Marilyn Monroe? It's pop culture, this is just how it works.

I have a great product, have quite a few people that use it, and would kill to have $250k in venture money to take it to the next level. I'm just in Alabama - and that's why $250k seems like such a high number for a napkin idea (I

Plus, knowledge in other domains is great for creativity. You never know what you'll use, or tie together, so random knowledge is inherently good to have. I also disagree with what you quoted.

Location, location, location matters too. $50k in Alabama is at least $100k in SF.

I agree completely. When I was in Art school I was working on a project that instead of using charcoal to create the darks on a white sheet of paper, the assignment was to use a white conte crayon to denote the light areas on a black sheet

So in the first line, it has 1 and then checking to see if it's equal bumps it to 2 allocs, and finally the third call, to begin releasing, brings it to 3 (then removal of all 3)? That's super weird - I have yet to encounter somet

Someday, Google will know what I'm going to Google before I Google it. I just can't imagine this being the case. I don't search about a subset of categorizable things, unless Random counts as a category. I'm sure

You were doing great until the last sentence. Why is a lot of the criticism jumping to attack the corporate entity behind the design, instead of the design itself?

It's on all of the new Apple apps that are included - just not any 3rd party ones.

To me, reading messages is a more pleasant experience on iOS 7 compared with previous versions. It's actually one of my favorites of the new stock apps they created. Sure the design is a little lacking, but as far as usability goes - i

As the messages move closer to the bottom of the screen they become more opaque. So as you scroll, the things that preside close to the bottom of the actual device, that are on screen at that moment, will be totally opaque.

This trope is annoying too. Design is how it works and functions, yes. But visual design is a major facet of that too. A large part of app design is the visual aesthetics. It's what helps make people download your app. It's most o

How is yours holding up on 6.0+? Mine is super laggy on 6.1 - I can't imagine it being a good experience with 7.

I guess I meant that GitHub totally changed my creative and coding process to using git and being comfortable with its tooling. I'm fooling around with basic Heroku/RoR stuff now, so that's what I'm mainly using git for

SpriteKit is going to be huge. Expect about a year of getting developers ready with it, and good at it, then Apple TV may have something awesome for us.

Github is pretty key for getting my code in front of the largest amount of users - and their private repo's keep the code that makes it to the app store versioned and accessed between all of my different workstations. Not coming from a

It's honestly not that different. Messaging is just as easy as before. Using Calendar is just as easy as before. All of the apps that aren't Apple's are the exact same and will be for the beginning of the official release. Yo

iOS6 is at 93% and it hasn't even been a year yet. Where's Jellybean? Who's still stuck writing apps that are compatible with Gingerbread and have to use ActionBar Sherlock?

I like when people post a perspective like this. It's a lot more bold than to criticize every single thing. Stay humble, stay happy folks.

What phone are you using? How much system memory do you have left? There's a lot of reasons for lag beyond just a new OS. Some of those things could be exacerbated by the new OS, but for another datapoint, I'm running an iPhone 5

This is kind of how I feel. My least favorite so far is their new Contacts app. It's just so plain-jane that I feel like I'm looking at a CS101 app or something. I really wish someone beyond Ive had the final say in the graphic de

Google Maps is still a better experience than iOS7 Maps so far - but I'll have to wait and see how much the Mavericks integration can hack away at that.
