The NPR ipad app is simple, elegant, and fantastic. For me a much better experience than the web site is or could be. I can rip through content at the speed of my mind. So I think the issue is design. Good iPad ux is not a given - designers

Was hoping there'd be some reasons grounded in specifics as to why an android phone provides a better overall experience than an iphone.

I think, somewhat ironically, that the final "most important" point #6, is by far his weakest. A platform is made stronger by having more tools to create for it. If a tool does not keep up with new platform features then it will suffer in t

i just don't want to see and think about facebook's brand everywhere i go on the web. it's one thing to actively choose to post something to facebook, even if from another site...or retweet or digg etc. but that "like" thing ... there's no

I like the article. I think a dominant pattern is to try and put forth gospels from the experiences of successful startups. All worthwhile to explore, however, sometimes it starts to feel a bit mechanical. Each context is so unique. I tend

I think it's a wedge device. It will not be an overnight sensation. More so, the first viable larger format touch experience in the beginning of a steady and gradual increase in this kind of UI playing a major role in how we interact with i

I wonder if apple loathes the idea of Appcelerator or others enabling developers to develop simultaneously for platforms outside of Apple. They probably like that it opens up development to more people - but they want total commitment to th

it would seem highly unlikely that they'd do well b4 the ipad launch -- people i think are hesitant to buy anything in this space at this point b4 trying the ipad at least. joojoo's opportunity will depend on a certain amount of people wan

Pivotal tracker can work for this to some degree. Tho not custom built for your defined need. I would venture to guess there's a fair bit of functionality that lies under the iceberg tip and this is harder to nail one might expect. It would

Often the "I have more features charts" ignore the fact that more features often means worse user experience. It's the elegance, and flow mapped to how we visualize, think and communicate that counts. Not easy to chart.

I have been using free acct for staging. I could not use service for deploy as we're using sphinx, plus will be processing incoming emails. The lack of total customization is the barrier -- but if that changes the overall fluidity of the se

Why would there be something generalizable about rails programmers, or any language for that matter. Honestly, this whole notion always seems so out there.

Absurd to use either the site traffic or search term ranking comparison. I will say, in san fran at most of the recent startup-y events i have attended rails has been far more represented than django. now this isn't scientific either by any

if it's just a one off and you have some experience already in php, then sticking with that might be a good plan. if you see this as an ongoing evolution and want to explore a framework and language that has some incredibly elegant approach

Having coded in both django and rails, I cannot figure out why you would make that distinction. Every rails app I have ever coded has distinct user roles such as these and it's ridiculously easy to implement. easy to role your own, as well

Merit in this examination for sure, but I would have used the StackOverflow vs ExpertExchange comparison to argue the exact opposite side. Maybe there's some gray area of where code and marketing begins and ends. Site UX, flow, the subtle b

I get very excited about hearing of things like this ...even if there's a strong possibility of failure. In our lifetimes, a few of these efforts will lead to great things. Michio Kaku described in 'Parallel Universes' the concept of 5 civi

I'd like to see Apple respond to this "crisis" with adjustments, but it seems they feel no need to. My biggest concern here is Apple being upfront. I can potentially accept the imposition of barriers to products that compete with features o
