I'm constantly missing calls/texts when I'm on the move/walking about with my phone in my pant pockets - can't feel the buzz, especially during winter season. Having a buzz on my wrist seems like a neat solution and w/o having to fish for m

This really sucks. I've always enjoyed the small (compared to those out there now) size of iPhone 4. And now it's just slowly getting bigger and bigger. Wished they'd ditch iPhone 5 size, but go ahead with the iPhone plus model, this way th

When I get contacted for freelance/contract work, directly from the company/startup, they're always open for remote work when I inquire about it (and we communicate through mainly Basecamp) I've had 0 remote work opportunities via recruiter

Interesting…so are those swear words meant to be place holders? I sometimes use images of friends/TV characters, or even lolcats for giggles. I guess some developers chose to channel creativity this way… Wonder what place holders 'angry' de

Thanks. The ratio going from Small > Medium seems strange. Twice the space, but more than twice the cost. Yet, Medium > Large follows the more conventional pricing method, where you pay twice the amount but get more than twice the b

For some reason, I read the url as getLIMP…uh…interesting name. Look forward to the pricing plans - it'll affect if I will try it or even switch over from Basecamp.

When I design website related work in Photoshop, I have a section of layers that contains shapes with dimensions of the common resolutions ie: MBA 1366 x 768, 1024 x 768, etc. I'm a bit surprised that the huge image isn't responsive so that

Hey…it's Khoi Vinh! I remember hearing him speak at Design Thinkers in Toronto when I was still in school. He was speaking as one of the panels about what students should expect after graduation, in terms of work places. Every other person

Question to anyone from LinkedIn: Why is it that when I view a profile that I'm not connected with, I can gleam more information when not logged in vs logged in? When I'm logged in, I can see 1 info box. When not logged in, I can view their

Usually the author (that posted it on Dribbble) will have a description of how he likes the PSD to be used - ie: Not for redistribution or doesn't want to see it used and reposted on Dribbble etc. Safest bet - contact the author directly an

There is a reason why there is an age of consent, why there is a youth criminal system, why there are age limits. Some of you clearly lack empathy.

This is a gem, considering what's out there atm. I've heard interns work their way into the big 4 and then squander it - they expect to be in charge of cases, call the shots, and some even refuse to come in when called - "I'm watching a mov

When compared to InvisionApp, which is what I use currently for sharing mocks and annotations capability - they have more features and for the same/similar price. You won't beat them in features (atm) so you gotta beat them in price. If you

Good list and good read but nowhere close to MVK. $25 for a cutting board? A $40 digital scale is overkill. True MVP/MVK should be using stuff that's truly necessary. ie: A knife honer - just use the bottom of a ceramic bowl - worked for

This is great for below CS6. CS6 has search function, that can be searched via Name, Kind, Effect, Mode, Attribute and Color. It's pretty extensive. Pixel pushers should def upgrade to CS6 - it also has auto snap to pixel grid for Vector To

I'm not talking about addiction - I'm talking about filling up a person's time because they have all this free time and if not filled, they have to deal with reality and/or hard choices. They choose to quickly fill the time up, so they don'

This is how I use LinkedIn: When I'm scoping out a position/company, I see who's on the team that I'll be working with ie: Design. Then I hopefully, there's a link to the blog/portfolio/Dribbble/Twitter. This is to get a sense of their wo

Let's not think about patent/trademark issue for a second. It's ludicrous why Amazon would name its store to something already similar. Whether or not Apple 'owns' the name, App Store, why would a huge company, with a clear brand, names its

I see it more akin to Dribbble than Instagram. You could also introduce 'rebound' - which is improving/optimizing/add your personal touch to the 'shot' (uploaded image, or code in this case). I'm actually going to try and redesign this as m

Don't worry, it's not a really good 'hint'. I've seen people take the hint as shake the phone to reveal camera, instead of touch + hold + slide up.

Hmm…not really sure how I feel about this article. It's using existing gestures and having them carry out different functions that is unique to the app. It's like keyboard shortcuts - every program's usage will be different minus a few key
