ah. I had no clue that's where it originated from. thank you for pointing that out! I can still say that Tufte was probably the most prominent to use it in a design sense (but I'm probably wrong about that as well..)

yet another trend that has its merits and draw backs. There will undoubtedly be designers and designs that go too far with this approach and those who do it well. I feel like this is well along the lines of minimalism for the sake of minima

1 - what's the proportion of incubators/accelerator companies are pursuing consumer applications? 2 - it's very easy to pick home run successes that are rare to begin with. It's relatively easy to crunch numbers to give the number of succe

Perhaps you just have a network that wouldn't react to this promotion. That's fine, and you're allowed to feel fine. I think this is a promotion stands out* because it appears to me that the promotion is primarily driven by a "real world" (

They essentially issued a "no comment" recently but wishy washily commited to supporting multiple operating systems. I'd imagine they're hedging their bets. Working on an iOS version while improving the web app version because you never kno

Anecdotally, I've had the same experience. Interac money transfers from person to person on the other hand is very common

They've done this with their in-market shoes where they go for $200-$300 a pair depending on the makeup. I'd say that $200 is approximately the right markup compared to the regular price of an Air Force considering what's required for indiv

your original comment says one thing (prioritization of Android) then another (how a lot of Android apps repurpose iOS designs). Are you saying there's a general appreciation for Android, so it's higher priority nowadays?... or are you sayi

Then that example can be applied to the Surface tablet* and any manufacturer's laptop -- no (TM) there. But even then, what makes a hardware product different from an advertisement or a software? As far as I know, there's no legal text on t

I thought Moissanite* had a place in the jewellery industry nowadays? *I knew that some people tried to pass them off as diamonds, but after a quick wiki I guess Moissanite always had distinct features from a diamond.

I've only seen BoMs publicized for Apple products. Are these often done for competitors?

They're comparable in that they send glasses online, but Warby's differentiator is that they manufacture frames (so they handle the whole process end to end) and offer a home try on kit. You can order X amount of glasses to try on at home.

To be fair to the parent, this was setup by the daughter and the grandmother. In Apple's current world, a case like this is hardly farfetched. I don't think this a weird edge case that I Apple overlooks or one you can blame on the user sinc

The quotation you refer to doesn't nullify Sacha's point. It says it's a "catch-all term for when objects retain ornamental elements of the past." Sacha says the blue leather texture example is NOT skeumorphic because the textures did not e

by nchlswu 14y ago
I agree. A poorly or out of context metaphor hardly qualifies as skeumorphic to me. there are still some good examples of skeumorphism gone wrong, but it's not the gist of the whole blog

I definitely agree and tone plays a huge part in my personal perception of whether it's disrespectful or not. That being said, I think it speaks to the actual value of likes. Clearly this approach works for some people and they want that nu

I never understood why so many people made such a huge deal out of this. IIRC, it was only referred to the "new iPad" in marketing materials. If Apple was focused on reducing the importance of numbers, what else would you call it in a conve

QR Codes for marketing may be "dead" (it was DOA for most implementations IMO), but that doesn't mean they can't have some interesting use cases. I think the syncing of two different devices is pretty compelling. That being said, the articl

this is actually a great point. Presumably, the top left corner was used because that is the placement for the "back" or "previous" button . Unfortunately, the back button was placed there because it is just out of reach for most users to p

Why isn't Twitter taking these data analyses and enterprise targetted services and acquiring a service or two and developing them in house? It seems like they already do a lot of liaising with companies, and this is a solid extension.

As a UX designer (in training), I disagree with your sentiment when you say "UX designers need to protect their work and creativity" when it comes to a gesture like pinch to zoom. Our work may need to be protected, but when it comes to gest

I completely agree with your points. What I'm curious is when devs stop blocking Twitter on their end. It's a hard business decision since Twitter does drive so much traffic, but I'm curious how many links are published from instagram, four

by nchlswu 14y ago
Yes, the primary added value was user experience. However, devs also built apps for the corporate market that go beyond consumption use cases. Granted, Twitter has been working on their own business services and apps that fall under that ca

I believe the initial logic was due to legacy browsers such as IE6. These are browsers that aren't what you designed for, so the webpage degrades. Since you take some steps to mitigate this and optimize it when it degrades, it makes it "gra

This isn't a study, any scenario where you might have impaired vision is a case where tactile feedback is necessary. While I do think tactile feedback is extremely important, I won't discount the ability for humans to adapt. Should a compel

your argument relies on the assumption that data gathered from surveys is accurate and so good that you can make appropriate insights. For most purposes, I'd say this is good enough, but this is a whole other can of worms.

In your first point, you're thinking of what Psychologists refer to as "Flashbulb Memories" [1]. In general, research has found that people despite being very vivid memories with a very strong confidence from the memory-owner, there is no e

Can you imagine if any other content provider or medium had this restriction? Or even worse, imagine how Twitter's growth would not have occured if the developers were intially subject to these restrictions...
