True, very true. I hate when I mistakenly hit enter and it opens a blank calculator. One would assume that the calculator has an api where you can send queries to it, maybe it doesnt have one for 'open with predefined equation'

Math in spotlight on os x showed me that there is someone in the company who pays attention to how a user uses the system. Not just the math part, but the fact that you can copy the result to the pasteboard with the keyboard shortcut

Wait, he says that you cannot download an application from the internet and run it on your computer, but earlier says that you simply cannot add non-app store apps to the Metro tiled interface. Which one is it? I would assume that you can s

You're both forgetting about Leap/Kinect/Minority Report-like functionality. https://leapmotion.com That combined with touch and keyboard is the future. These devices will soon accept any part of our body as an input vector. They'll be ab

I've been working on one for six years now. Id say that it is 70% done -- I just cant bring myself to define, map, and execute that last 30. I'm putting other ideas on hold until I finish this one, ideas that could be viable money makers, b

Yeah why not? The metaphor works/I cant think of a better one. One thing that I like about some of Apple's approach to things is that the user explicitly enters a mode or changes frame of action. There is a mode the user enters when moving

I just hope that they can keep the contrast and the explicit visual of what a component does. Case in point: fire up letterpress on the ipad, get a gamecenter popover with its felt and wood finish, you can clearly identify what is supposed

Wasnt he supposed to be the next Steve Jobs? He was noticeably missing from the last event. It was strange that they didnt have ios updates to talk about (that is when he gets on stage).

Geeze, they're even copying Apple's "make fun of the market you want" advertising. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYP1Tjgt1Ao Just joking. The Samsung ads are kinda funny

A better analogy for Windows 8 is a recently divorced older man who decides that the club scene is where he should be, so he starts dressing differently in an attempt to attract younger mates. However, he can still be dad to his teenage kid

The rubber band effect makes touch scrolling work. The user knows when they've reached the end. And Apple seems to do this thing where you can zoom out and make whatever really small showing you the boundaries that Android doesn't seem to d

Wouldn't Windows Store be analogous to the Mac App Store where the "race to the bottom [pricing]" doesn't seem to be a thing?

Id say just like with any language, you need to ensure that your objects do one(or a few) thing(s) well. Read this article about dependency injection with JS http://merrickchristensen.com/articles/javascript-dependency... if you're able t

I've updated my 4s and put at least 1000 miles on turn by turn maps and everything is okay (turn by turn is beautiful, if that matters at all). I did add the maps.google.com shortcut to one of my folders, but I haven't needed to use it. I h

Looks good. Your #viewport div causes a strange error with having a horizontal scrollbar @ ~789px. Instead of using the margin-left, why not position it with left and top since it is already absolutely positioned? Edit: you can probably jus

Well, the "desktop" in RT is completely different than the desktop in x86. What I said was that Metro and Windows 8 should be separate products until the x86 desktop can be emulated as an app inside of Metro. As it stands now, your RT "desk

Halo 4 is coming out and my son has been bugging me to get another xbox (the last one red-ringed about four times). Browser testing just might justify the 150 bucks. Im willing to bet that it is a bad browser. It will be interesting to see

I like the idea of windows 8, just not the execution. If MS' future is Metro, they should have went the iOS route with dedicated devices -- windows phone 8 and windows tablet metro that run the same apps -- and eventually added classic desk
