Only enthusiasts can truly be trusted with archiving culture. Compare what.cd to iTunes. Compare Karagarga to Netflix, people actually go out of their way to create the best version of a movie, maybe the western release has incorrect hardco

So glad I exist in a timeline where youtube-dl exists. Having culture locked up in these corporate sites that can wipe it out or remove it in less than a second makes me so anxious.

Definitely believe Apple had been exploring sensor driven UI effects if you follow the signs like this patent [0]. Wouldn't have been shocked if they'd had a prototype with the whole UI doing it around iOS 4/5. But only the M

Think if you're dealing with the sort of types who work in ICOs you need to be beyond business savvy and more expect to be screwed at every turn.

I'm sure they can be replaced with "Gesture and Swipe Soup" Hey at least we'll have a (mostly) bezel-less display which is a win to someone at Apple for some reason.

Worried they're too busy chasing the industrial design dream of an entire screen surface that usability and sensibility is being thrown out of the window. Normally I'd have faith but honestly things are getting weird over there.

Think you may be looking at this only through a developer lens. Bet if you showed anyone under 15 an internet without pictures and video they'd consider it broken.

I don't know how anyone can say that with a straight face. Imagine for a second if Nintendo or Sony had released a peripheral like that and had released nothing but a demo disk in over a year. There is no way people would be speaking a

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it was my understanding Apple specifically stopped having teams "looking into weird slightly bullshit things" when Jobs returned. The Apple Knowledge Navigator video comes to mind, it feels

Instead of calling a number and listening to messages one by one you have an inbox and can play/delete them using a UI.

When your customers have this sort of attitude it's no wonder Apple managed to convince themselves this was worthwhile.

I get what you're saying (and agree) but you're using my metaphor on how to extract a better work life in a team environment to make a completely different different point on a completely different topic.

> Clear goals are for junior "code monkeys" who just do what they are told without any concern for if they are going the right thing. Agree 100%, the less you act like a cog in a machine the less people will treat you like one.

It is by default I'm actually sitting on a fresh install as of a week ago on my work machine. It probably retains a legacy setting if you updated but this is straight from Apple. I never even knew that preference box existed.

Biggest telltale sign of an unreal game for me is when it streams in new objects/effects a frame too late. If you turn too fast you often see the end a corridor drawn in a frame late and see the skybox in some worst cases. You can even

According the ATP.fm the only safe way to clean the dust out of it is to take it to an Apple store. You can easily destroy the mechanism if you manage to pry the keys off. I imagine this will be fixed in the next iteration though.

Do the sliders actually work better than the keys? Currently I can adjust my volume with my eyes closed in bed at night when listening to a podcast because it's the second key from the top right of the keyboard.
