Streaming helps, but "consumption content" was never a big issue for me, even when I had to store it locally. Menwhile, "production content"---audio samples for music production, high res textures, effect plugins etc. have always taken up a

What if the new chicken is hard-coded with a set of natural behaviors that are more conducive to food factory use?

You have a point. Fuzzier dates are often better. Perhaps it's a space constraint.

So they hadn't heard of it, and chose iFone based on what?

That's crazy. Of course they did. Products haven't been named iAnything forever, it started with the iMac and iPod. Legal or not, it's piggybacking.

I love seeing smaller companies take on Adobe, but branding this as a replacement for Photoshop is a mistake. Photoshop is such a large and complex beast that nothing small and focused could ever replace it. That's Photoshop's true strength

Great analogy, helped me understand why I felt this whole six times lighter thing was strange.

Isn't it too early to count iPad mini as a Vista-level failure?

…why are you adding stuff to the situation? Ceteris paribus: without Blender or a mop, and without knowing anything about new hires, the assumption is that the new girl is a designer. It's prejudice precisely because you don't have any othe

If you click that, it opens a demo with a link that's ostensibly to google, but actually goes somewhere else.

Right on. Perhaps the company we deride for not letting us remove the battery could be excused for not optimising for devices with no battery.

Thanks, that's a good point. I haven't seen the Microsoft Surface in person, but this is throwing some doubt on Marco's testimony.

Can't you summarize? I don't have 120 minutes. If you spend one minute making your point, and I spend one minute reading it, this conversation will be more efficient. Sources are great when they support or expand on points you're making, bu

That's an important point. When Samsung or Microsoft take hints from what Apple do, many decry this as though Apple were never themselves inspired, and that's misinformed. (others) -> Bang Olufsen, fashion boutiques -> Apple Stores

This is bot a privilege issue. Nobody appointed Gruber. Just do a better job and you'll be fine without his permission.

Do you believe his points are invalid? If he were making valid points, would they count regardless of his vested interest?

This attitude is very interesting. In my reading, you take offence that Kim Dotcom supports free speech only because it is in his personal interest. Similarly (I find), many shy away from defending The Pirate Bay as soon as their advertisin

If UX was determined by specs, why would we have a different name for it?

Okay, lots of changes. One example? Can you show me a paradigm shift where the rules actually needed to be updated, and explain what is different from this case?

If you really want a new word, that's a discussion we can have. New words are indeed needed in a digital world. "Google", the verb, is a good example. Perhaps we should repurpose "burglar?" How do you feel about choosing a word which does n
