Twitter is earning bupkis, which means that all this is being paid for by investors. How are they justifying this? There's an argument that perception matters, I suppose. For instance, banks spend a lot on making their public buildings seem

He did that when he said "HTML." He didn't say that. There's not a single "HTML" anywhere in his question. (There's an "XHTML", but it's in the title as something he wants to exclude .) Everyone is making that assumption on his behalf,

I agree with you, but I may not have made my point clearly enough: It's not about "should he use regexes?" it's the other classic mistake of not clarifying the problem domain first . Everybody is assuming he wants to parse this document,

by bonaldi 17y ago
It is, but it doesn't answer the question. The asker doesn't ask how to parse HTML, he wants to match certain tag-like patterns, and not others. He doesn't define the document, or the context, and could plausibly be wanting to remove certai

I've been playing with this tonight. I had absolutely no problem paying for the beta - I've paid Microsoft and Apple for betas and they need the cash a lot less than these guys. That said, I wouldn't quite recommend it if you're on the fenc

I'm not sure that InDesign's UI could be done with current tools -- there's a lot of hardcore typography and image manipulation going on there at levels of precision that make pixel-perfect look slapdash. Still, I take the point, but it s

"Eventually, all apps will be web apps" I keep hearing this, especially from the Cappuccino guys, and it strikes me as a bit of a stretch. For it to be true, HTML/JS/CSS would have to stretch dramatically to accommodate all the functionalit

A clean page with no distractions or links always snaps me into "reading" mode. It's why I like Instapaper and Readable so much.

Neither of those factors play a role: there are plenty of 27" televisions, and it's not the resolution that matters, it's cutting the glass. The official Lenovo blog talks more about this: http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=220 Apols

It also has it where it counts: depth. Almost everything I work on is helped by better depth: writing, coding, browsing. After a while, even the 1600 pixels of the 30" seem shallow. The iMac sure is wide, but it only has 1440 pixels in dept

I use it to open links in new tabs in Safari. The current Mighty Mouse does this -- you just set a scrollball press to "Button 3" in prefs. I am miffed that the new mouse doesn't have it, as it means opening links in a new tab is now a two

Surely this solution is still going to fail the walking/train test -- the icon will be on the screen permanently in those situations. The phone will detect movement, the icon will appear, it'll fade after a few seconds, the movement will be

Did the copy get this right? It says the face with more contrast is perceived as female, but to me the more contrasty face is the one on the right, which I see as male. Adding to this, in my days as a retouch man, we'd add shadows and contr

So all of that toolbars+toolchests+doorknobs stuff was nothing more than the old "I don't like the menus at the top, and I get confused when applications don't quit when I close the last open window" trope? Blimey. Menubar-at-top vs in-wind

Have you used a Mac more than once? Or have you only ever used OpenDoc or something? I don't mean to be insulting, but nothing you describe happens or has happened in any Mac OS: 1. Mac apps don't have toolbars (save the odd cross-platfor

What about related ones? If I'm designing a page, I might want my image browser in sight so I can choose and then drag and drop images. Or if I'm writing an article and it takes a lot of research, I'll want a web browser to share the screen

Yes, I can see your reading of it now. But I think it would be disingenuous of him to make that claim, given the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the large reductions in regulation that allowed the problems in banking to be exacerbated (though

It just means that I loathe the Flash runtime on the Mac: it's slow, kills the CPU and as a result sends the fans spinning. This is one reason (beside the business ones) why it was never going to get on the iPhone.

"There is no runtime" Ah, so they got Flash on the phone by taking away the bit that makes it suck bells. Good job, Adobe. Amazing what you can do when Apple forces you to not to be craptacular.

There are a lot of great products in the Adobe stable -- Photoshop defined an industry, InDesign has redefined one, PDF revolutionised a lot of things (storming barricades put up by Postscript, which is also an Adobe product). The problem i

Yep, the marketdroids running Adobe are definitely going to invest money in R&D and improving their code. Look at CS4! Oh, right. Definitely seems like a baffling move from the outside, but to be honest virtually everything Adobe's done

It's slightly ironic that BBEdit is dismissed as "lost in the pre-OS X" world by someone who went on to evaluate emacs and plumped for Vim•. Especially since BBEdit solves all the problems he had with TextMate. (• This isn't a diss of Vim o
