This article starts off real nice, but the solutions presented are far from what I would consider "re-thinkinking" the dial pad. Touch screens do not have physical mechanisms, but rather are flat. So they need to rely more on gest

The problem get exacerbated by the fact that nearly every so-called picture friendly sharing service (Facebook, Instagram, etc) recompresses the shit out of uploads, destroying detail and mushing colors. It was so bad that I told my friend
