I'm not arguing against what the iPhone did, but rather what it could do. While its introduction was revolutionary in making mobile development open, that doesn't mean it's ideal. We've reached a local maxima, but Android is most certainly

Windows being the de facto standard was bad. It held the web back for years, because Internet Explorer remained stagnant.

I'd be OK with this if the network effect didn't exist. If the iPhone becomes the de facto standard, it's a loss for mobile developers everywhere.

This reminds me of Nassim Taleb's piece about his discussion on the Black Swan theory[1] with an Italian colleague. The colleague argues that he would not have come up with the theory had he grown up in a Protestant culture because of its P

For undergraduate research, me and a friend made a recommendation engine web service (very similar to Directed Edge) using Python + Tornado. I've put it on the back burner because other priorities necessitate my attention for now. But I cer

Read the article. I think the explanation it gives makes a lot more sense.

I was excited to see that the chart had an Intel 800MHz, but when I clicked the link, it was to a AMD Sparta 2.3GHz. There might be other mislabeled products on here.

Has the author forgotten how impossible it was to navigate the WWW prior to Google? They essentially fixed search relative to the competitive solutions at the time (Lycos, AltaVista... shudder ).

I really like this idea! A few suggestions: * Is there no way to delete a task? I wouldn't consider using it unless there were, because it would get awful annoying if I needed to change the schedule but was incapable of doing so. * It would

Hah, the "internal Apple document" doesn't even spell "up to" correctly. What a joke.

Just like how the iTunes Store is almost as good as an mp3 player? Apples != oranges.

Like I said, it has a lot less features :) All it really does is expense tracking - you can post bills, and find out who owes who how much. There are also some semi-vanity features like stats on where the group is spending its money. I thin

They're all (minus the world map) generated by the Google Visualization API and the Google Chart API. Part of the reason I made this was to learn those APIs. They're pretty cool, although the chart API has some infuriatingly bad habits in r

Yes, for both of these reasons I felt somewhat hesitant of including that chart. There really is no way of quantifying the effectiveness of any health care system very well, but I feel the need to try to provide some sort of perspective, so

Yes. It's based on National Health Expenditure Data, but it's more or less a replica of this by the NYT: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/02/28/business/0301...

I didn't find any solid stats on that sort of information. Patient outcomes are difficult because there is room for subjectivity. R&D I really wanted because a common argument is that one of the reasons why costs are so high is because

I was hoping to garner interest because its my first infographic-ish creation, and I'd like some criticism before designing another. It clearly has a political leaning, but it was also designed to avoid the current health care debate and an

Also, Arabic calligraphy varies greatly, and just because you know one form doesn't enable you to read another. Perhaps cursive vs. print is similarly difficult for non-English speakers, but I feel as if Arabic's is especially difficult. Af

How about having tags, and then letting the community dynamically decide which ones are standard? I think this would work because the community is fairly observant of the rules. Plus you could shape behavior by suggesting certain tags when
