Ironically fighting my desire to buy it now, too. Just got done listening to it and found it to be really disappointing, even outside the hype.

Yeah, I've seen various people use these types of methods to prove a point, and each of them were able to come to their own conclusions based on the results. Ultimately you can manipulate any photo to look like this in the end, and some pho

Ah, so the issue is fitting the screenshot into a laptop. There might be a few things at play here. Are you using Layer Masks in Photoshop to accomplish this? If not, select the layer of the laptop in your Layers panel and click on the thir

Yup! I'm not sure what you mean by "never looks quite as polished". Paparazzi is like a little Webkit browser, so you're seeing the page exactly as it would be rendered in Safari. You have to click the little hand icon (bottom left) to in

Paparazzi! for OS X 10.6.8+ ( http://derailer.org/paparazzi/ - older versions also available) lets you choose the dimensions of the browser (so you can take screenshots of responsive/mobile designs), allows you to take a full-size shot o

I copied the marks in the example and besides needing to tell it to include the cream color under the strap, it worked exactly as shown on the homepage, so maybe just add that extra red there in the example. Unfortunately it is freezing up

I can't praise these two entries on the matter enough (here's the first one - http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/10/adventures-in-... ). They've allowed me to better explain to those on the outside what it truly feels like. She doe

Addendum to myself: http://www.coolorus.com/ for Photoshop or as a Flash standalone. It's more of a color-picker tool (based off of CorelDRAW's), but it has a schemer feature built-in.

I can't parse anything Ms. Allen writes. There needs to be some sort of textspeak/Twitter babble/missing characters translation after the original statement. Arrington's lawyer does a good job trying to pick up the pieces of her ramblings,

I'm swimming in endorsements from people who aren't qualified to do so. I've told this story on here before, but my co-worker was endorsed by one of our colleagues for something he never set as a skill to begin with; it was just some random

Thanks for the response! Those features make a lot more sense as to why I'd use it. Do you guys have a roadmap online?

Right? I was incredibly surprised that there aren't others like it (Kuler angers me for reasons I will not get into here). Colourlovers has ColorSchemer ( http://www.colorschemer.com/osx_info.php ) but I'm not a fan of the interface or the

Hey guys -- jmalter is the founder of FounderDating. jfarmer is the founder of Everlane. Both have terrible UX, but only one of them is being a total ass in this thread (vs. pretending to be oblivious to dark patterns). Mind who you're

My initial concern with Scoutzie was that there was no way to verify that these "mobile designers" had actually tried and tested their designs in production vs. using a PSD device template; no app store links, no product websites. I think t

Same. I've been working three years at a job I have to be in at 7am for and it has really only gotten worse in terms of how I feel each day. I accidentally slept in a few times the first few months I'd started, and even though it doesn't ha

I noticed there were a lot of designmodo links being tossed around over there too, but let's considering LV's DMCA's "proof" were open-source icons to begin with, I wouldn't call it a rip. That said, it's tacky that this is what constitutes

It's awful in Chrome on 10.6.8, too. Not sure what they were thinking with that color and that aliasing.

So LINE ( http://line.naver.jp/en/ ) for a more US-centric audience? What kind of plans do you guys have with this?

My point is that there's no curiosity when we're not encouraging girls to care the way we do with boys.

I absolutely agree with you there; but people have taken unkindly to my saying so :)

My problem as a designer living in code is that by calling myself "UI Designer" (or "Web Designer" for that matter), I'm putting myself in the same boat as people who don't know any code (I'm basing this off of seeing what people on Dribb

Like c0riander says, your experience seems skewed. Here's some responses I wrote the other day that relates to this (this article is about men and women being polled about why more women aren't in tech): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

Art/Creative Directors often have some of the worst, if existent at all, portfolios. Execution has nothing to do with having an eye for it. This layout might look more modern than the 1998 frames we were expecting, but from a usability st

I love this resource, but my only problem is that some of the [beautiful] thumbnails portray the plugin better than the actually are. I'm not complaining about that, but the timeline one in particular was super janky in production but loo

I'm at work right now, but off the top of my head I know that /r/twoxchromosomes and /r/genderegalitarian and even /r/girlgamers often have good discussions for gender. Race I can't really help you with, but I believe that the sidebars of t

Thanks Dan, I always enjoy your posts in these threads. Your second paragraph is exactly why this is a big deal and why I always grit my teeth when someone says women don't work in tech because they aren't interested in tech , just as some
