Good point. That may not actually be too bad. I would hate to see blur and super-thin lines propagating all designs but those would hopefully be minor details if the apps themselves are more similar.

Will it be true that Apple still has enough weight to cause ripple effects in design paradigms completely unrelated to a mobile device? I am guessing so, but mostly because a lot of designers are coupled strongly to Apple ideology and it af

Has anyone turned an ah-ha moment into a life-long pursuit (and succeeded)?

If you are going to a beach it's much better to be sticking it to the man while you are there.

You gotta play the game to win but you do not necessarily have to like it.

This is a bad question. A better question would be if the candidate works and furthers his/her knowledge in their spare time to help make a product as good as it can be. You want the people that would still be learning/growing reg

I have been impressed by Netflix's willingness to push forward into largely uncharted waters (at least in the U.S.). I had cancelled my subscription when they split their service, and while I still think it would be better if they wer

I can imagine if Space X was Google it would be stated that the only reason for the project is that they want to serve ads in space.

I'm still unsure exactly where the story transitioned into Microsoft...

I am curious why something engaging your creative brain would prevent you from being creative - I would think it would do the opposite? *edit: Did you mean to say it "can kill your ability to think outside the box"?

It is certainly possible to de-clutter without making it look like complete shit. It's the odd decisions all over that just don't make sense, for example using red for primary actions or providing no contrast. Those are basic thin

What does any of this have to do with "hacker news"?

Everything exists already (figuratively) but most of it is garbage. People are fickle when it comes to new experiences so there will always be converts to something better. Make something that sucks better and sell it. A lot of people think

I figured something along these lines - or fraud. Though one wonders why they wouldn't help out those with legitimate reasons for wanting to use them.

We haven't passed through the digital renaissance yet. Shouldn't be too long (10 years? - right now it's just a party) but until then lines will be gray and rules will be befuddled. You need to have the visionaries to get us through it, tho

I could have sworn they announced emulator support in yesterday's Google Play Services session. Maybe I completely misunderstood what they were talking about (was developing at the time).

I forgot that games even existed on it. Did anyone use it? Seems to confirm that Facebook is indeed not their actual competitor.

I think a revelation I've had recently is that, in general, friends are boring unless they are doing something of interest. The information I find on Google+ and other non-real-life endeavors from people outside my real-life bubble is much

What does the future hold for E-Ink readers? They are far superior for reading but useless in general. I could see myself getting a Kindle in a few months (I have a first-gen Nook) but after that I don't think they will be relevant as table

You might be surprised the amount of spam a site with no real visitors can get by exposing a form.

Anything that bucks the status quo in the entertainment industry is a good thing. Expect to see more and more of this and expect the traditional middle men to get more aggressive to prevent it from happening.

If we had less posturing and more failure, less blog posts and more action, our lives would be better. It isn't known that Google couldn't be the company 10 years from now iterating on the failed concept...

I don't think knowledge on the subject in this case particularly applies except in the opposite circumstance. Knowing nothing about passing a bill that changes the way things work currently is dangerous but being against a bill that does no

Could be that everyone just wants to feel special and induce envy in their peers. The desire to be great drives a lot of human interactions.

Do class action lawsuits actually have any effect on business practices? Just seems like an extortion that is somehow legal. No one benefits but the lawyers. Recently I've been included in a bunch unbeknownst to me that require me to submit

That might be true but I do recall that last "cover" update was announced to all but rolled out incrementally as well. The mentality issue might be the true root cause but perhaps if they did more announcements people might get more used to

That would make sense but I wonder why. It is the minor updates that might be more interesting than "we've redone X".

I am interested to know what makes you believe they move quickly. Do you follow an internal blog or know engineers? From the items the two other people posted it does seem that they post quite a bit but most of it seems to be about how face

What is it that facebook employess work on daily? I see release of new features fairly often for something like G+ but rarely see anything from FB short of redoing what they've already done. Is this accurate or am I just unaware of a releas
