Since you have a fully documented style guide (which I presume needs to be stuck to), why not just prototype ideas directly with HTML/CSS?

I am really starting to dislike this meme. Yeah, this is not something the UN needs to weigh in on, I get that. You have managed to both state the obvious and betray patronising superiority. Congratulations. Do you go around dismissing lots

I have never really taken to the whole 'exclusive' Svbtle invite-only blogging platform bullshit, but I do agree it is a pixel for pixel copy and so does degrade the brand. No matter what my personal opinion of Svbtle is, copying (and open

Commendable goals, but in my opinion somewhat conflicts with the 'Mozilla' prefix in the name, if they hope to make it a widely adopted standard they need to drop their branding and just call it 'Persona'.

Is this just a new Google strategy lately to buy up awesome iOS apps and kill them off, death by a thousand aqui-hires? Let's hope they don't kill off Snapseed.app, I will be extremely annoyed if they 'Sparrow' or 'HTML5-crapify' it.

Having read more into the Marco/9-5Mac story and looking on Twitter, seems Marco has concluded the website does not want their content 'scraped' due to content in their articles being 'almost libelous'. Unfortunately he has taken the decisi

Guess I should have said more clearly, meant blocking in the browser. With Google Maps, I thought this was down to their license agreement expiring, and that Google reportedly have their own App Store version in the works. I suppose if the

Sorry, but this is pathetic, are you saying there is no application of human creative skill, no imagination, no expression involved when Ive (and team) designed the iMac? How is it not copying to take all these creative ideas and slavishly

I do agree that if a developer has some personal beef with a website that should not allow him/her to think they have the right to block it from their users. Apple wouldn't dream to go as far as to block google.com or samsung.com on their O

"I'm sorry but I can't think of Terminal as a decent Terminal emulator." Well I'm sorry but unless you explain exactly what the shortcomings are to stop it being 'decent' your comments are nothing more than trollish bigotry. You are just co

I think this could possibly work if HN was a paid-to-post service, even if it was just $1 p/m. The only problem I can see otherwise is this would open the possibility of an underground currency for karma. It might result in user accounts wh

Sorry, but with respect if I ever had to work under someone who thinks like you I would probably have to quit my job. If I was your boss, I would probably have to fire you (as someone else said). I can only imagine you would happily run a r

Wow, you learn something new every day! My thinking was more akin to a real life driving license, a mandatory thing you would need before being allowed on a computer unsupervised etc. Thanks for enlightening me though!

Just so you know, and easy mistake, but CSS-Tricks is the name of the website, not a reference to the language being used.

People complain about such software because we live in a world where there is no such thing as a Computer Driving Licence. Many users are perfectly fine to live in as much ignorance as possible, and are actually quite afraid of traditional

So is it somewhat equivalent to saying someone is protestant when they are catholic, and being outraged at such a mix-up? I still don't quite understand why it has emoted such apparent disgust as to stop reading, but then I am not a religio

If you don't like Apple Open WebOS and MeeGo are interesting open options, I hope these will gain traction. I have never been a fan of the whole Dalvik/JVM architecture on Android. The update mechanism has always been especially shitty as w

Just being open source should not provide blanket immunity. This is also hardly some small, independent developers we are talking about, they are very large international companies. IIRC Android Alliance rarely, if ever, accept 'independent

Superfluous much? " lay juries" - A jurer is by definition a layman. If a jury was full of experts it would completely miss the point. " incontrovertible errors" - I guess you are talking about the (relatively) tiny misappropriated damage

Agreed, when I first landed on the page first thing I thought was "why don't they just let you enter an @name?". Avoiding this service like the plague, seems like total oauth malware.

I can also confirm works on iOS (using iPad), has a couple of spacing glitches, however page turning animation is extremely smooth, an the actual pop-ups are exact same as on desktop, no problem and performs like a champ.
