LG has a remote control iOS app for its smart TVs that pairs via wifi. This gives slightly easier menu access and control over the cursor. The biggest WTF is for text entry. Instead of being able to use the iPad virtual keyboard, the keyboa

If you buy into life having rules about how it is supposed to look at certain points then this is applicable. If you don't accept it then life simply comes down to knowing what your goals are, working out a way to achieve them and going for

The concepts are still exactly the same. Most people scan instead of read. Here's a resource I use (not affiliated) http://www.4syllables.com.au/resources/web-writing-tips/

I couldn't find anything that made it free with conditions. I thought there was a catch when they said "free to register" but everything seemed to be legit.

Great information. You increased my knowledge and my appetite. I'd say that the computer code analogy is how most people understand DNA: a set of constants with values. This is how DNA is generally portrayed.

I second the textures. I think the single page is fine though. The FAQs are hard to read because the line height is the same for everything. Agree with another comment that says the end product needs to be shown. I don't care how you create

My process helps me clearly understand what the user is trying to do and plays to my strengths, which aren't designing. For each user flow I do the following. 1) State the use case (who is doing what and why) 2) Write each stage of the flow

"Yes" is sufficient. Remember that this purpose is to formalize a usually in-person handshake deal. Even out of that context, claiming "oh I signed the wrong paper" won't fly.

I like the idea, but am not sure what I'd use it for. What drove you to build it and how do you use it? Is it part of a zero inbox plan?

Thanks. Love the feedback. I've got some data from user tests to guide me for some of the elements, but not overall. The homepage needs design work and the value proposition is very weak.

I'm the author. I agree that the biggest thing that I'm missing at the end of the experiment is customer feedback. But this wasn't a customer development call. This was a sales call. Also the contacts didn't want to talk. Not because it was

I'm in the same boat as you, recently starting to learn Ember. The tutorial that Brian Cardarella created at Dockyard [1] covers creating a simple app and is really good. There are a few other simple tutorials. I'm struggling because all th

Wow, some people. You think you should get all the value of using Github and give nothing back to the community through public repositories? What would your response be to a customer that demands you work for free, telling you to recoup the

I'd understand if you were wanting to host private side projects, but you're using Github to help you make money. That's very unreasonable, especially when you can claim these costs as tax deductions.

You can do the same thing with Google Analytics events. Use a non-interactive event with "form validation" as category, field name as action and entered value as label. You may miss some events based on the service limits, but the common tr

The analogy is backwards if it is a direct hire by the company. The article used an agency, which gets money from the hiring company for placing the candidate. If you look it at like that then the programmer is the car and the hiring compan

Does the news actually do that though? Does regularly and generally consuming the news do more than provide new topics for water cooler chat? I can understand the argument for being informed through selective reading/viewing (which the arti

My thoughts exactly, and I think that is what the author was trying to say. The argument seems to be "children use tablets, therefore no open Internet." Last time I checked children turn into teenagers and then adults, both of which have di

I hear this kind of sentiment a lot and it usually comes from a position of subjective analysis, rather than actual knowledge. I'd be able to support an argument that was based on first-hand knowledge about the product and the reasons for i

It sounds like your philosophy is actually aligned. The core of the quote is about making a buying decision simple, not about tricking someone. The article talks about really understanding why people buy your product and using that in your

You could always respond to reference calls by saying, "I'd love to tell you all about him, but don't want to open myself up to litigation." That sends a clear message without you having to say anything.
