"To build a great UX, one has to step back and think about what’s most important, try to come up with the most simple and shortest path to get there, build, analyze what works and why(not), measure, test, rinse, and repeat." This is true, b

Inventing something, and having a patent issued on it is one of those things I consider a "stripe" or "merit badge". You should be proud of it. Not everyone can claim to have done so. When I read resumes and see "I was issued 3 patents" or

Author here. FWIW, I wrote this because I couldn't find anything else out there that did it. I'd be more than happy to use something someone else has written that accomplishes this task. For more context, see the question I originally asked

I'm kind of blown away that the engines don't have to be torn-down and rebuilt or something after being ignited and shut down like this. I assumed that since the booster stages are not re-usable, the design would be more optimized for "one

There is nothing Google can do about it. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak. Everything they try will simply make the problem worse. - Release new versions faster? Nope. More fragmentation. - Pressure MOs/OEMs to only ship latest versio

You have a good imagination. I worked on COM at Microsoft. We had a project to add managed run-time capabilities to COM. This was ~'96. Internally we thought of the Component Object Model that shipped as part of OLE as "COM version 1". The

Here's the logic, huggy: Android is fragmented across multiple axis (UI, Device form factor, OS/API, Marketplace, Services). Nook is based on Android. It is not, today, a fork of Android as the Kindel Fire is, but it is also not the latest.

This is brilliant. I admit that I look at my Klout score every once and a while. Originally I thought Klout might actually work to be an indicator of how influential someone was; a way of discovering who to follow on Twitter, for example. I

OP here. When I wrote this post, I didn't imagine so many people would react by saying, essentially "Screw the customers. Just break 'em." One of the reasons I have my panties in wad over this topic is the Web has made it far easier for peo

OP here. I think this is very naive/utopian. Yes, be super focused in your design. Yes, only expose APIs you have clear use cases for. Yes, keep the surface area as small as possible. Yes, have very focused requirements. Yes, document the h
