Well said. And that is predicated upon the idea that somehow engaging with bits and bytes can be detached from the emotional, political, cultural, and historical.

Ah the language. How effortlessly, out of all of the possible selections of colloquialisms and metaphors one could select, the ease of cognitive flow. Maybe, just maybe there is an itsy bitsy bit of merit in her commentary?

“Form follows function” implies a privileged voice in that hierarchy. It is frequently framed as a presupposition of zero functional role of aesthetics and cultural symbology. As with all artistic movements, the phrase was coined as a respo

Overused and misused babble science theory. Humans are emergent species. Even optical illusions, despite being used as evidence of ‘hard wiring’, have been further studied to be learned and emergent phenomena[1]. [1] EG: The Influence of Cu

It sure feels like a bit of hyperbole, but that said, it seems that ssh was mentioned in the documents. Still curious what the vectors might be, or if higher level insecure bit depths might be to blame.

Well said. It should be noted that it was under this individual's reign at Google that the notorious 41 tints of blue occurred[1], which was clearly an indicator of abject ineptitude regarding art and design. The comment about Illustra

“That's an act of agression […]” The issue with this logic is that it treads into Foucault's privileged language. As a perfect example, fourty to fifty years ago, smoking was not considered in the same culturally maligned status.

Cannot think of a larger, albeit seductive, load of codswallop. Techno Utopianism ideologies appear predicated on the belief that technological advances can always implicitly trump physical design constraints. The well trodden technological

While I agree with your premise that Elementary is nothing more than a repetitive clone of a well trodden trope, I could not disagree more with the "steal" aspect. Instead, I would suggest that any further designs should drop the

I would hope that we can agree that at some point a qualitative and privileged "good enough" metric applies here? Is it reasonable that a photographer would prefer a cellular phone camera over a focused device? Or a medical imager

It isn't solely Microsoft. The idea of convergence is a seductive ideological fabrication of Eurowestern making. While seductive, there is a tremendous body of history to examine to reveal the fallacy of the position. Automobiles, cell

I would only add that "pragmatic" versus "idealist" is privileged language in the classically Foucault sense. Stallman in many respects is being pragmatic in the pursuit of his ideology. Conversely, the NSA and like orga

I am unsure what "real retina" means. A typical print project will expect images at 300 PPI. Text however, is provided in spline. This is typically rendered at 1200 PPI by the rasterizer. In terms of printed quality display, it would likely

Well said. Since the great depression, corporate shares of taxes has been steadily falling. One can only speculate where it might lead. 2011 USA Taxes: Total corporate tax: 200.8 Billion. Personal income tax: 1.1 Trillion. http://www.npr.o

I am curious about this "chasing away" statement. Specifically with regard to cost, it would appear that Adobe's recent migration to a monthly license[1] puts the suite much closer to consumer reach than ever? [1] http://www.adobe.com/ca/p

I would be curious as to which decisions you are referring to. The infamous 41 shades of blue was under Ms. Mayer's (now of Yahoo) reign[1] and likely would have driven anyone with a shred of art education into the fetal position given the

You will do just fine. The point of education is to set aside the hubris and learn. You very clearly have.

"And I think the ethics-free engineering-and-business-focused open-source movement is important." There is potentially a common thread in Morozov's discussions that would rally against this sort of statement. Arguably the article is just su
