They certainly are boring. The problem is that they have had high moments in the past which is what this designer is competing with. They should take a brand that has always been boring and make it shine.

When putting together speculative work, it's best to avoid big companies - it's like trying to rebrand Christmas, everyone has their own idea. Microsoft already has huge creative endeavours, trying to compete with that is a folly (Christmas

The problem is that space as a branding device can't be owned, it also tires easily. Indeed you can swap out microsoft for any vaguely tech related company here, they'd have equal claim and relevance. Also consider the default apple desktop

My hope is that the patch doesn't just replace the feature with an arbitrary and unpleasant equivalent. Rather I'd prefer if they took their time and presented a solution that beats 'swipe to unlock'. Making it a real lemons to lemonade sce

I agree a patent on simple gestures is simply not logical, but working within the constrains of the existing (and in my view, broken) system, I'd like to explore the idea of swipe to unlock, really how obvious is it? This is a legitimate qu

Design isn't about just being radical and experimental (which has a place). Good designers know when to use these features while obeying the over arching rule of design: Don't just include elements because you fancy them (or the idea of the

The problem with ideas like this isn't so much a hypothetical situation of what would happen if we decided to burn bridges tomorrow (probably not good.) It's neither about "What would Apple do?" or "How could Google leverage this"... unfort

It's difficult to observe someone talking to Siri. I believe Apple preemptively realised that people wouldn't like to talk aloud to their phones in public (and in the process revealing their personal requirements/plans to anyone in ear shot

Half the article is about subtractive colour, which happens to be print/painting/any kind of colour mixing which isn't combining light sources. The author (is it you?) has done zero research on the topics they don't understand, and deserves

Here's a few of the factual errors: >They’ll launch into a treatise about how the Three Primary Colors They'll try to teach you Subtractive colour theory. Artists don't actually work in three primaries, however the idea of 3 primaries f

Wow, just wow. This is what happens when someone who knows a little bit about how the eyes and brain interpret colour decides to write an article where they fill their gaps of knowledge with mistakes instead of doing some research. Since th

Other than JS performance being downgraded when the app is built this way. It appears that the actual facebook servers that serve the customised content are also slower (read: much slower.) The speed experienced can't be attributed to JS al

The article is basically an advertorial. It could have provided helpful information and quoted security researchers who don't stand to gain financially. Instead it assembles quotes from vested interests who imply that their product is neces

The early intel macs were "x86". The current line up is x86_64. Depending on who you ask in the industry this is called AMD64, Intel64, EM64T, IA-32e. This is the 64 bit platform as developed by AMD, it's not to be confused with Intels IA-6

Sophos and Kapersky like to allude that their software provides all the protection a user requires. Which I agree is the wrong way to approach security. They have also alluded to the idea that their software would have protected systems aga

"PC" has been appropriated numerous times by vendors to mean a specific platform. In the times were personal computers were less-standardised "IBM PC" and later "PC Clones" referred to the platform and not "personal computer" specifically.

Also security on the whole has improved across all platforms. When Apple began to market themselves as immune from 'PC viruses', the Windows platform was besieged in drive by downloads and massive, highly publicised infections.

With a sufficient critical mass now in or transitioning to OSM, it's trivial that OSM will get better. If Apple are going to contribute to OSM(which is likely based on their shared project history) then it's expected to increase in quality

It's fine for you to think this, but it's beside the point and a fatigued argument that ignores the retrospective history of computing devices. Indeed I have heard the same comparisons for CPU/GPU/Sound Cards becoming soldered onto the main

What's with Apple and people lying about their products/services? Clearly you must know that your statement above is not only false, but easily disproven by visiting the apple support website? The truth is that you can take your apple produ

I'd say initially it will be substandard in some ways, noting a lack of streetview for example, however it's very likely to receive constant updates to bring it into feature parity. Interestingly (or rather) surprisingly Apple maps already

You're having an argument with a bunch of InstantExperts™ who are clearly motivated by other sources or tied to luddite ideologies. They're more interested in presenting Apple as an evil empire because this fits their personal objectives. S

It's also larger than that, Apple's involvement isn't just a cash grap for a 30% slice. It's because Apple want both visibility, and the power to refund customers who make legitimate complaints. Currently anything purchased inside an app ca
