Nothing is more enjoyable than seeing posts on the internet by programmers who look at an idea, then scoff at its simplicity while making a list of all the idea's component parts, pointing out how easy each component is.

It's a user driven site. At millions of people it's obviously not entirely personality driven, but still the site is driven by the actual individual people who submit and comment. They generate not just the content but the tone of the site,

The sound studio we use to record dialog for our games has started using iPads both for occasional music stands, and (more importantly) for sharing the live running script and notations across everyone working to record. They seem to love i

I think Twitter officially supporting and converting URLs into a token at the time a tweet was written would do the trick fine. The 140 limit is what made them, but URLs are obviously a point of failure and frustration, hence the near const

Didn't stop at least the front half of almost every iPod ever, or the hard ridged edges on the sides of the Magic Mouse, etc. I would personally probably prefer the next iPhone to continue the trend of rounded-off edges, too. I just wouldn'

Doh you're right that the iPod did round off its corners for two or three generations - the one with the four touch buttons, and the first clickwheel designs. They sharpened the edges back up when they went to the "Classic" though.

The iPod is the exception because it started that trend, and Apple has brought everything in line with it. Quick, which Apple product is this: http://www.photoshopnerds.com/images2/xp_icon_01.jpg It's an... iPhone. No, an iPod. No, it's a

Do the touch APIs let you look at the actual dimension of a finger press, or is it just an x/y coordinate? I mean, does the information come across as a circle or as total surface area lit up by the touch or anything? I don't know the tech

This is a great reminder of what's stayed the same more than what's different. Or, at least, how gradual the change has been. The jump from 9.x to 10.0 is surprisingly subtle compared to the jump from 9.x to Snow Leopard.
