Kind of how I remember the name Shwowp for how horrible it is, but have to Google "tara hunts startup" to find Buyosphere.

Fukime, Leaky and now "Munch On Me"? Seriously? Is there a way to have a "ask your mom/dad/sister/girlfriend/wife what they think of your name" class before domains are registered? Branding matters.

I have no doubt that LA and Detroit are very different. Just in raw statistics they are very different. The point is, if your view of any city is from reddit/hackernews/tumblr/cracked/digg-bait sites, it will be a skewed view on a city. Wit

What bugs me about the poverty-porn you see from Detroit is that if you really wanted to, you could do the same documentation in the wealthiest segments of Los Angeles, just by going a few blocks over. If I really wanted to, I could take my

We're the heuristic algorithms mixed with good user experience as applied to a market filled with endemic, institutionalized and non-innovative players.

Same here, but introduced an issue with external display sleeping. Still a beta though.

You could have the best technology in the world but the name would never pass the smell test on due diligence. Professionalism means as much as technology when it comes to things I would base a product on.

Google has 740 or so patents so far. It would be great for them to dissolve their rights to Patent No. 6,529,903 (page rank) or 7,136,875 (adwords) or 7,158,878 (Google Earth) but they won't. Apple has over 4000 patents listed (my favorite

A few notes: Fullscreen mode does work with multiple displays, in a way that makes a whole lot of sense. Most engineers at Apple use multiple displays, so more functionality will come soon. What I disagree with is the notion of the core OS

Like I said elsewhere, until you can make ObjC apps on your iPhone, this is a polemic, trolling link-baity statement. Steve's footprint is ALL OVER Lion, starting with the total abandonment of the HIG in a lot of the core apps, which from w

But again: how is it driving you away? Apple dogfoods everything they do internally and evidence points to their 5000+ engineers being more picky than anyone. Marble (Xcode 4) is evidence of this. If anything, making an Os more suited for t

How? Protection against something for 99% of users causes inconvenience to 1%. Maybe. But it makes the platform more useful for those 99% who make up the economic ecosystem for the 1% using osx for profit. Protection of the apps folder is g

To this point, there is no better party at breaking the HIG than Apple. Case in point: Garageband for iPad. And likely cases in point: every app they are releasing this fall, which were all made post-Garage Band for iPad.

I dont' get the fear that because some elements of iOS are added to Lion, it means its getting dumbed down. I've used Lion for a bit over a month now (in beta and release), and beyond some changes for the better in terms of my workflow (ges

MediaNet is a product of the labels.It started in 2001 as Musicnet, created by Real Networks, AOL Time Warner, Bertelsmann and EMI. In my time at a label I tried to work with them, but their technology is kind of awful, so I wouldn't be sho

Sickening? ITS MARKETING. The promise that something will make your life better is rarely true, but we deceive ourselves into thinking so because it helps fulfill the prophecy being told.

I don't think that a calculated decision not to deliver something indicates that he lied in the moment. Its faulty logic. It means that he set out to deceive rather than made a mistake, spoke too soon, didn't consult with his team or whatev
