I think the point is in the overwhelming majority of cases, other searches are the "right" searches.

The Icon Factory does (highly acclaimed and visible) work. The new icon is about a million times more polished than any of those options, in my opinion.

I think they answered your question pretty thoroughly and promptly, despite your intense neckbearding. Certainly more thoroughly than the Path guys.

Do you really still think Google has any say in the whole carrier upgrade thing?

That's part of the point. Zynga is disrupting the risky, hits-based game industry by attempting to remove as much risk as possible from the equation, and this extends down to (game) design by data.

GitHub's OS X client also works with non-GitHub-hosted repos.

This exact scenario happened to me a few years back. I had just jumped onto a team in the middle of an enormous shift in product and put the nagging, on-and-off pain on the back burner with some aspirin and made a dentist's appointment a fe

More anecdotal commentary: I have an iPad 2. It's jailbroken. I haven't rebooted it since the jailbreak, which is probably going on several months now. Given iOS's stability (even while jailbroken), the tethering is an annoyance, but certai

I was on the fence until the bit about automatic spritesheeting via Compass. This is awesome.

Holy crap, The Cheesecake Factory's website is a 1996-era graphic adventure game!

Nitpicking the infographic: Canvas should be listed as "partially supported" at best on those iOS devices, as it won't get hardware support until v5. Interesting mix of data. Wonder why Android wasn't listed? The list of Android devices tha

Today I learned there are people who consider themselves serious users of flash card apps. I use Evernote every day and it doesn't annoy me as a diversion from their core product. The smart Smart Cover integration is cool, at least.

I don't think I'd even mind so much if it weren't transparent, but it's pretty repulsive. As some other commenters noted, the site tries really hard as well but 1300-px-wide content is awful in any light. It's just form, not function, but t

When I hear the word "maximally" shitty in this context, I don't think of MVPs - I think of products like IE6, RealPlayer, or E.T. on the Atari. A product can't be maximally shitty unless it manages to affect both users and developers in a

It's kind of the design equivalent of studying someone else's code _and_ its execution in one fell swoop. It's also the equivalent of hitting the man pages and learning the syntax and vocabulary of design. That Cameron Moll link is great, t

For the same reason the "every co-founder should learn to code" mantra always gets tossed around here: because it's not impossible to do yourself and will make you a better and more self-sufficient developer. You might still choose to bring

As a graphic designer/artist: this question strikes me as funny because the frequent "how do I start programming" threads are always so matter-of-fact. 3-4 biblical texts get recommended, a handful of vetted resources bandied about, and the

For many years I've dealt with clients who were incredulous when I told them "no, we can't/won't just clone Yahoo/Facebook/etc" when a pixel-for-pixel copy was precisely what they wanted. There's an important creative and IP distinction bet

Did Windows clone the Mac UI right down to the color and pixel and then replace the Apple logo? I think the bashing here is well-deserved, above and outside the discussion of whether China has a demonstrated economy of copying (it does). Al

You should ask Myspace; their building's on the same block and I'm sure they've got some space these days.

I was just there for an interview - it is very nice, new office space with plenty of parking. In true fashion, some of the tenants were racing RC cars around in the empty space, so whether it's due to layoffs or just an inability to rent, t

I'm pleased for these guys, but a little surprised as well. Launching a Pokemon social game isn't exactly being disruptive; it's not as if there's any dearth of them on Facebook, particularly at a time when many companies are fleeing the al

The same app, or the same type of app? Judging from overall revenue reports this would seem to make you the exception, not the rule. I'd read it.

This is a pretty amazing level of non-story, even for TechCrunch. I guess speculation about unreleased Apple hardware always gets traffic, though!

It's rather remarkable how able people are to tolerate a borderline existence until a concrete metaphor for its inevitability and hopelessness - like an unpayable loan - is thrust into their faces.

So it won't be Renren, StudiVZ, or Yammer, then?

Because it'd be pirated ad infinitum and the game presumably makes more money on the Marketplace with the ads included, no?
