An eloquent description which captures the essence of one possible reaction. Mine was different (I live in Israel, had a similar encounter) but the core experience is similar. It seems cliche, but there is a fundamental truth to the fact th

There's a high density of good hardware engineering talent here in Israel, and specifically flash memory expertise (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SanDisk and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Systems ). Given Apple's voracious appetite

I often try to explain this to friends, but in a shorter way: Driving a car is essentially a controlled explosion taking place every second about three feet in front of your face—and yet this very dangerous and messy process "just works" fo

Properly configured, the old Spaces was a passable replacement for virtual desktops, with some caveats. I always had a 4-space, one-row layout. Wrap-around worked, but the animation was a bit confusing at first (it lets you move "right" pas

That's exactly the point -- I can't disable it, because then I'd lose spaces. If it wasn't clear from the initial post, I'm a fairly heavy user of spaces. :) If I didn't care about spaces, I wouldn't have taken the time to write up a long

Mission control is a perfectly comptent exposé. My beef is elsewhere.

The problems I outline are with management of windows across spaces and displays; nothing in the post refers to issues with exposé or "finding" windows inside a given space.

Expose doesn't provide spaces.

RTFA: "Azure removes the Direct2D and Quartz (OS X) go-between and allows Firefox to write directly to the underlying 3D subsystems (Direct3D and OpenGL)."

What about type rendering? If FF on OSX no longer uses quartz to perform drawing operations, what implications are there for type rendering? Will OSX users be subjected to the (IMO) ravages of freetype? Or will each platform continue to use

Apologies, I didn't give the whole explanation. Becoming a great (or even a competent) designer or developer takes time and practice. There are no shortcuts. The issue is that many of us think that without becoming great (or even just compe

As a developer/designer, I spend a lot of time getting this _exact_ message across to developers who "don't do design" and designers who are afraid of code. I've given that same schpiel many times before -- in almost the exact same words ("

Buxton is a prominent name in the field of UX, and the book referenced in the article (Sketching User Experiences) is a seminal text in the field. I think the failings you point out are more about the inability of the press to shoehorn both
