While I prefer kik over WhatsApp because it's cleaner and free, I kinda like WhatsApp being paid and still growing much more than the free alternatives. This might be related to the ban kik had on Blackberry phones.

C'mon, apart from the glass surface you are describing a paper or a book. The iPad is hardly a strange format.

Events like hover (or swipe, or trying to scroll out of the box) are really good for the experience side of design. It's that leap of faith that works that sometimes creates such a special connection between the user and the interface. If o

That would be right if this was about platforms but it's not, it's about interaction. If you can't hover then why depend on it? Also, it's easy to add a touch event to do the same as the hover event, it's up to developers to do it. I was ju

When the iPhone was released I thought it would be the end of hover. I know that's what I think about when I see something like a menu which only works on hover.

I actually call it Terra. And Sol. And Lua. But that's because I'm Portuguese. :)

I'd prefer if headlines weren't capitalised. The Moon is pretty unique, it's Earth's moon.

On the subdomains topic, on one of my sites I went the subdomain way for languages. Example: www is for english, de is for german, fr is for french and so on. The reason I did this is because I wanted Google to index the sites properly, in

It's ok, I could have been much clearer (but then I would also repeat what's in the article). I have the feeling people commenting here did not read the whole article or are just nitpicking, it's one of the best articles about the history o

Can't say we are saying anything much different but let's focus on what seems important. So there's a variety of ways to get rich and we want to know which one is easier: work for someone else vs start your own company. My point is that 99.

I believe pg meant there's a much larger percentage of rich people who were once part of a startup vs rich people that worked like everyone else. I'd say that's a fact right there.

I'd say the attention span nowadays helps in cases like this one. People will carry on and nobody will know about her in the near future. Hopefully.

I see, thanks, I wasn't thinking about all those complex cases. :)

Why does that happen? If you check your balance you can clearly see your net wage, right?

In the UK, it has always been before tax with me. In Portugal, it depends: if you are on a contract then it's after tax, if you are not on a contract (think consultant) it's before tax. This happens because most people have no idea that the

I'm not sure how it works on all European countries but at least on my home country if you do call 112 and hang up nothing is going to happen. If you call 112 and say something and the call gets cut for some reason nothing is going to happe

I'd say that's one of the bad examples according to the article. :)

That can be a really dangerous way of thinking if you apply it to everything else. It reminds me of when people define democracy as the will of the majority when in reality it should be the voice of the minority. Sure, we should aim to simp

I immediately thought about the first (?) releases Apple did for Windows: iTunes and Safari. Both were really bad but I have never seen software as buggy as that one new release of Safari that would crash if you clicked on any button. It's

How do buying apps works on Android and all its versions? I remember buying apps on my first generation iPhone that then wouldn't support iOS 3.x but the Store still let me buy it. Is it the same on Android (but worse since there are so man

Yes! The fn key is so annoying there. I didn't mention it because it seems like that's the standard now, so wrong...

How did you read that on my words? That's not even a good comparison. A better comparison was when the original iPhone got its price reduced by $200. It was a blow and Apple acted accordingly. If Siri were to be available tomorrow for iOS 5

by iaskwhy 15y ago
Well, the selling point is definitely Siri, the only commercial Apple made for iPhone 4S is all about it. That's why I think it could be a blow.

I'm replying to you again but with a different view. Is the T60 keyboard the same as the X200? Because it's what I am using now and it's an amazing keyboard. This is important because if you say these keys move a lot then we are definitely

by iaskwhy 15y ago
I'm pretty sure it's easy to find a bad keyboard, I was just never that unlucky until now I guess. The problem is not only that they bounce but that if I press either the top or the bottom I feel that it might break the key. I believe the M

I'm definitely in the minority here but sometimes it's good to have some counterpoints about the new MacBook Air. I recently bought one with 13" thinking it would be my best computer ever. Well, hardware/power-wise it is incredibly fast! Bu

Wouldn't it be a blow to 4S buyers if they release it for older versions of the iPhone?

Say a concert? (I don't know anything about cameras, I was just thinking about that same thing and realised there are probably some uses for scenes longer than 30 minutes.)
