Isn't this a problem inherent with dogfooding, and not isolated to Facebook? Building it and using it doesn't mean you want to in the first place. >It’s always a sign of trouble when you’ve built something you don’t want to use yourself

LayerVault issued a DMCA Takedown because of it [1]. They did it because there were some assets that appear to be directly stolen [2] and were subsequently changed after the DMCA takedown. In the discussion threads, you'll find a lot of dis

I'm hardly technically competent, and S3 has served me very well for static files. I've dabbled around with their other products to learn a bit here and there and have definitely been overwhelmed, but S3 is really really simple.

I think you can only conclude that it's popular among trend-following designers... and I guess tech-turned-design-bloggers as well. I'm really curious what the general public's perception is (not that it really matters) and if there are rea

I'd guess that he's 100% prepared for this and has weighed the risks. I'm making a big presumption about his intelligence though.

Is that at all mitigated by tools like HootSuite or other corporate Twitter clients that allow multiple people to manage an account? I'm not saying that it's acceptable that Twitter leaves that in the hands of vendors/users, I'm genuinely c

that's what I was trying to get at. I think it was a neat side effect. I just don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that it was a priori goal or priority when these phones were being designed designed.

I feel like I've read or seen a fair bit of Google criticism from ex-Googlers on the msdn blogs. Can anyone confirm I haven't just been seeing this post over and over? I don't care if it's just optics; having a post about this on your curre

Everytime it comes up, I'm always fascinated that online checkout under demand is still unsolved, even by a giant like Google. Obviously it's a small chunk of all online sales, but it always seems like the process fails somewhere

To add some context, LayerVault posted a blog post outlining "The Flat Design Era"[1]. While the term has been used before in various context, to me, the post seemed to ignite a lot of discussion in the tech/design community about flat desi

It's interesting because (in Ontario, Canada) there is an ongoing trend to adopt online classes because of the touted lower costs. Since there is an explosion of demand of students who primarily see post-secondary institutions as job traini

I was always under the assumption that plain english was avoided because being succinct can leave things open to interpretation. This would leaves legal documents up for debate and open to loopholes. Am I wrong in this assumption? I often f

That one data point doesn't mean it's a mistake to compare it with the MBA. It's "complete" functionality and more importantly, price after keyboard means the MBA comparison should be made. Comparisons to tablets and other hybrids should al

For a long time, I agreed that the RIM parent company makes sense if their software services were being licensed out. I'm making an assumption (and I think the rebrand supports this) that RIM/BB has made a conscious decision to be a consume

This move makes sense and is well overdue in my mind -- at least from a consumer perspective. The Playbook was branded as the "BlackBerry Playbook" not the RIM Playbook, which was ridiculous IMO (and still is). But they've made the decision

Okay, I can see your point. I think it's important to note that labels still have a much larger promotional push than going indy does. If we run with the Drake example, I think he would have easily gone #1 without them, but I don't think he

by nchlswu 14y ago
For all intents and purposes, blogs are pretty much affiliated with big music now though. And for what it's worth, Drake was only really affiliated with big music after he made it big on his own. Even when he was (allegedly) promoted by big

No. The rap industry especially especially embraced blogs long before Macklemore got his number 1 hit. In fact, now it's become routine for major labels and artists to seed music and do releases through blogs. These same blogs push unsigned

Man. After LayerVault's post, the term has taken on a life of it's own. Minimalism never precluded the use of effects or interactions to create depth (and I'd argue that "Flat Design" never precluded this either). Just because skeumorphism

It's worth noting that LayerVault are the guys behind the "Flat Design" blog post that's been getting a fair bit of attention recently. The article was purposefully brief and the author has commented that no one quite grasps his concept of
