Extending this - will our kids reflexively hate Facebook because their parents are on it (and were there first)? I wouldn't be surprised.

Wow! What is your site?

Ya, I get that a lot.... I guess with less bookstores around, we have a lot less notoriety. You're right, high number of crowd ratings regress to some mediocre mean, less absolute dump 1 stars, less stellar 5 stars, i guess.

Maybe a shamless plug, but I work on mobile apps at Fodor's Travel. We've been doing print travel guides for 75 years. We now have apps, in addition to books. We're professional curators. That means every restaurant review (and shops, hotel

It would be nice to put the burden on the user to correctly apply tags/metadata to their email as they send it. The hope is the sender will think a little more deeper as to why and what their sending, and this just makes email organization

I prefer Mike Lee's explanation of design: UI sets the user's expectation, UX is how well you meet that expectation.

Come to think of it, there's a restaurant at La Guardia airport in NYC, of all places, that has iPads at every table. They use that as a selling point. In a busy airport, it seems popular.

They've been instated in at least a couple of national chain restaurants in japan. My last trip, just a few months ago, I visited a shabu-shabu restaurant and kaiten sushi (rotating sushi bar) that had touch screen tablets at every table. T

Wouldn't institutions just ask players to sign a waivers to indemnify them? Aren't there enough kids in the pipeline dreaming of stardom that will sign such a waiver without thinking twice?

Love it. Being able to expand/contract the wave selection instead of redrawing would be great too. Wanna grab that crackling snare! Check out Pete Rock gettin down on his MPC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z73CcodfT_w

"You may distribute books created in iBooks Author free of charge on your own website. If you wish to sell your book, you must do so through the iBookstore." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5071#3 Does that mean you can't charge money for y

The apple specific nature of this new authoring platform is a departure from the eBook ePub standard, presumably because Apple thought the UX of eBooks could be way better. A similar rationale for why they introduced iOS apps, how it outpe

Because he's not a citizen, just a resident. Iran probably feels like no other country can have a say in this.

This article was written over 2 years ago, before Apple introduced in-app purchasing. Downward price pressure is a lot worse now than then. It's more accurate to say Freemium is the new $5. But bundling, and try and buy is now available.

This needed to happen so they could monetize all their app / mobile website usage.

The Wholefoods in NYC at TimeWarner does this. While Wholefoods in California doesn't.

although, i do think that buttons on the steering wheel, which you learn to use without looking are a big big enhancement to anything on the console.

So, with more and more users using some mobile device as an access point to their computing experiences, how does it help FB to have ad-free, FB credits free apps? I mean, I would rather have ad free experiences and I don't care for FB apps

Well they do know that the unchangeable battery will be dead to useless in 3 years. At least they use incremental innovation in every rev to get you something new. Also, if they didn't use this strategy, they'd be more vulnerable to competi

one reason amazon doesn't like brick and mortar stores is that they will have to charge state sales tax where they set up shop. That's one advantage they have over B&N.

depends on the atmosphere. Ambiance matters for many places, and that includes attentive staff that make you feel important. But it you're at a busy lunch spot or happy hour spot, this can be great.
