Don't be so quick to jump to solutions where the problem is unbelievably complex. One word? Iran. Another word? Iraq. One other word? Afghanistan. Another one again? Palestine. All those countries listed above, none had problems before

While we all love pretty and overdesigned UIs, for it to be more 2018 friendly make sure to add 5MB of JavaScript and CSS dependencies and new features that only works on Chrome! As others have noted though step-based flow is not really rec

Thanks, I'll give it a go as well if you don't mind. :) xrb_1mrb18cstrjrectodi6qjnm3jnjq79tbtuzhcbxix4oait6ity4gzxdhy9s8

Actually it does when you focus on an input. Having borders/backgrounds on every piece of text proved to be a bit messy in my case. It would've been cooler if I could've capture the interaction, but I don't have access n

I've made something similar on a data editing UI back in 2011. But I found that showing the label only on field focus wasn't really suitable for UIs that contained multiple fields of similar data. Like in the example below[1] ther

If I remember correctly, should be an HP (sorry I can't find that damn model). I live in Italy, and I saw it in an Euronics ad.

You can actually get a laptop with the same specs for about 900€. (the only thing that missed is the little touch screen on the right, and the 17", it was 15.6)

I would say it's just more easy for them to parse/extract data, it shouldn't change much to the user (excerpt special cases in browsers).

It's also under the "History" menu item with the same name, in case it just loads the home (which happens usually).

There is here on HN a user that makes freely available for download papers behind pay wall, but can't find his account name (I thought I had it bookmarked). Edit: Ok found it, http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=freesciencenow

At least compare equal products. On the list Awesome Note VS Ultra Notes I, are the only comparable ones (even though iPhone app vs Android App). "Calcbot VS Calculator", is like comparing HP-48 vs Mac inlcuded Calculator. "Bjango VS Musica

Definitely more likely, wasn't sure if he was referring to the software quality only.

I'm sure that's a mockup, or a prototype at best.

Yes, but the parent copy has more quality (parent is text pdf, the link at the article is a poor scanned image pdf).

The Latin part (1st one) is very simple. The Latin high-school final exam here in Italy is way more difficult (you translate, analyze and discuss Latin authors from their original texts, eg. Cicero is tricky). As schrototo said the greek pa

I would say that's Powerset's technology merged into Bing, not direct Freebase. If you want a more practical application for Trinity look at http://research.microsoft.com/probase/ (linked at the bottom of the page). Also to quote the page

> Bill Buxton is multiplatform the way Leonardo da Vinci was multiplatform. I'm not a native speaker, but isn't polymath a better word to explain interest and expertise in multiple fields?

I personally use FL Studio/Sibelius (FLS trial won't let you save your song in an editable format, but you can export in ogg/wav/midi/mp3). It depends on what you want to do, for music production Pro Tools/Logic Pro are a must (though it's

I would go so far to say you don't need a designer. You need someone who's passionate about multimedia applications and is working on a HCI project that relates very much with VLC. Someone who is thinking about future UIs, and things like t

Adding on others (lack of recognition/respect, very difficult to submit changes if you're not a dev, etc). One reason designers usually don't contribute to open source, is because they're paid to improve UX/UI on their commercial competitor

Well as they said above, to dig that deep the civilization needs a non trivial technology, so I would think any human with an index finger would get it (but the problem remains for those who don't have fingers).

Months ago I talked with a guy who was working on a similar idea http://tap.info . (Well, the site is down as of now) http://oi53.tinypic.com/2w1wfn7.jpg - I can't find a better screenshot

I started using Fireworks since CS4. At first I didn't understand how it was different than say Photoshop or Illustrator for web design. Then as soon as I started mocking and designing UIs for actual web applications, or applications, Firew

Hi there. How about pludily.com? (I'm a holder of a few domain names for apps I decided not to pursue, they're short and I find them elegant.) Or add some details like keywords for your app. Maybe I have something more suited.

Have you found a new similar community to join? In the sense a new community with fresh "ideals" you are thinking of joining or already did. It's been more then 6 months I've been trying to find a good place (I need a way to keep track of t

If you're stack on the Windows platform, it may be a true pain to build using other technologies. Major OSS tools can be more easily mantained on Unix-like systems (RoR, Python, even PHP it's a mess on Windows). I'm talking about production

Also comparing Jobs to da Vinci and Jefferson, well personally I see them in different levels (both on recognition and impact of their actions).
