You know the people who make phone software are actually aware of this? In Android, the concept of Activity and Intent serves to essentially promote this. Its not a solved problem by far, but work HAS been done in that direction. Rest assu

I wonder why you got downvoted...all you did was make a third party generalization. Interesting stuff. Upvoted.

This is interesting. To me, it seem, that Apple knows its a lost battle before it even begins. So the only purpose here is to delay the open standard for as long as possible. Why do I think this? Because they filed it at the last minute...n

You know, I think its a manifestation of anxiousness about the work. Haven't figured out why this happens but I've seen that it is easier to overcome when I'm 1. working on a passion project 2. Working in a group. Passion project point is r

It feeds into teaching me about people...I'm currently trying figure out how to work with really smart people and how to build and sustain high performance teams. Yeah yeah yeah...but I did come bearing gifts!

You are right, there IS a line between culture and politics. But thats the thing. You should count politics as part of your requirements too, or thats what the theory states anyway. For example, lets say you digitized an inventory form for

There is process called Contextual Design. Part of it talks about treating the tacit knowledge of a workplace like a very necessary requirement for your software. So that means including the culture of the workplace in your reqs. It sound

yeah, no worries. its bit of a hack in itself. I don't get why Apple doesn't implement a more explicit shortcut...maybe because most of their hardware is laptop and with laptops most people probably shut the screen which locks the mac autom

A very fair point and I think this is mostly because we, as an industry/society, have only recently begun to pay attention to UX. I'm not going to buy arguments that say good software has (needs) enterprise backing. Open software, more ofte

So why does Android have the largest market share? http://static5.businessinsider.com/image/4ec273e4ecad0416520... This would suggest retail doesn't make two shits of a difference if your product doesn't cost over ~$150. Wouldn't it?

OK just an FYI for everyone on here who does spend some time reading this article: other than being plagiarized, this article is also fairly inaccurate in its assessment of Introvert vs. Extrovert. Intraversion and Extraversion have nothing

If it works, it works. Plus the look is not what they are selling, Vidyard's value is in their analytics and thats why they are topping the news pipeline and thats why I doubt they (or their customers) care about being so close to Vimeo. Bu
