Yah, although some more than others. Microsoft looks ironically (or perhaps fittingly) to be the first into the next lean cycle with Microsoft Edge. The browser game has changed and become commoditized. Before they went towards being monol

Yes, but before that IE fixed the web! :) Remember CSS on Netscape? IE4 was actually a beacon back in its day. Everything is cyclical: Lean - Average - Bloated - Lean - Average - Bloated

Isn't this old news? I remember watching this interesting diatribe from Pierre Osprey (designer of the F-16 & A-10 Warthog airplane) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQB4W8C0rZI

another interesting fact is that reddit just last week released api functionality to access reddits cache of all thumbnails and native resolution of post images on their own infrastructure. Of course they've must have cached thumbnails

That seems highly unlikely, I have a hard time seeing this reflecting well upon Apple, more likely it will leave a sour taste in many people's mouth. It's not like Apple desperately needs the PR and why risk bad one?

Which one do you think is more likely: a) "Oh gosh, apparently having the artists/labels taking the monetary risk for us for trying to acquire a strategic stranglehold on the music industry was bad, we should do the right thing!&q

Nice article! I think the biggest UX issues in current mobile OS is gratuitous animations and lack of cohesiveness. Many have transitions that are too long and too much. It's like drinking overly sweet soda, the first sips are nice but

The odds of an singleton being called for the first time simultaneously is abysmal. Usually you even call a singleton first in your own initialization code making errors impossible. I do agree that technically you are correct and you s

Agreed, but its as important to know when to break consistency as to follow it, but the former requires more experience.

Ah that's a good point, thanks! Consistent navigation is the crux of many apps. Though with the phone version i find 99% of my use is either listening to my playlists or searching & placing specific song, so I seldom hit all those

I see a lot of hate for the Spotify UI and on desktop & web I think it's kinda justified just because they've flip & flopped so much and remove/added/changed features constantly. The Iphone & Ipad client I ac

I think Doomed is a strong word... Apple has lost this war over and over again (remember Itunes Ping anyone). They also seem a bit out of touch with focus of on mainstream artists, curated content and one-way "social networking".

Everyone has their own view and cling to their reality with confirmation bias and cherry picking. The optimists say we'll work out any problems, this is a transition period, the complainers are exaggerating and "everything's

I think its very dangerous to say "don't dream too big" or "be realistic" because we can't succeed in things we never try But you're right, We should have some reasonable knowledge about the odds of succes

Interesting article, but I'd also claim the opposite. There's a cumulative emotional debt in NOT doing a startup/product. If you go through life tinkering with projects, ideas and products without never really finishing somet

I'm launching an app in a couple of weeks and I'm really worried about the revenue model. It's an app that acts to an client to an other service and they'll probably start charging for the API in the near future. I felt

I would argue that it hurts customers too, at least for some apps. If a developer doesn't get constant revenue there'd be little incentive or resources to update and maintain the app. The customers are then stuck with an app that
