As of right now, one of the reasons why you pay for this service is because it's shipped to an address first where the BufferBox team accepts packages for you. They bring the packages over and fill the lockers. So, there's no reason for you

As a user of the service since it was in its MVP stage, I really like the service and I'm excited to see them grow. To hear that they have a big vision is great. Partnerships with retailers is one thing, but the potential for them to make k

Is this type of statement characteristic of Massachusetts government? I really like he overall tone and stance taken in the statement and it seems uncharacteristic of government in general.

I'm being pedantic, but wouldn't the Air be a more appropriate netbook comparison? As for the sandpapered finger thing, I imagine that you're right, but at the time, I wouldn't necessarily think the sandpapered fingers comment was just blow

I'd love to tackle a problem like this. One thing I like is the approach compared to someone like an Indochino who gets you to take your measurements and then their tailors take liberties with the measurements you provide (accounting for yo

That seems like a reasonable assumption. A lot of posters are forgetting that significant portion of Starbucks revenue isn't from beverages at the till. Starbucks sells a lot of coffee related goods and processes a lot of revenue for gift c

This is a great guess that makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. A simple elongation of the phone really doesn't fit in any mental model I have of Apple's design decisions.

Referring specifically to something like iPhoto or iTunes, the general purpose or intended paradigm is that users don't have to manage file folders or folder structures themselves. The whole idea is that users can't do it, especially when c

USB is slowly approaching "single cable" solution. By adding power, USB3 and Thunderbolt are two differentiated solutions moving towards a similar goal.

I'm generally a fan of Andrew's work, but this one misses the mark. I don't really have a problem with the aesthetics or the graphic design - he consistently shows creativity and design chops. In fact, a lot of his points are pretty good. H

Does anyone else find the 1x and 2x conventions confusing? I never realized it till I got a bit confused reading the article. Also: I'm a bit surprised at the reverence Dustin Curtis is given for the pixel fitting article.

Ultimately, I really do think it will be a mixed environment like you say (or a different paradigm entirely). There are a lot of NUI proponents who gas up their work in speech or touch (and touch related) interfaces. I do agree that they wi

I've never found built in apple features to typically handle dual monitors too great. Sure, multi monitors is fine, but the Spaces and Mission Control UX never scaled well when you added another monitor (IMO). Full screen behaviour just add

Ah. I never considered the parallels between the iPod device line. That's probably the one argument that helps me understand and appreciate the reasoning for the 7" a bit more. However, I still consider the retina display a mandatory for al

The article focused on resolution, but with all of Apple's flagship mobile offerings bearing retina displays, I consider it a requirement that any new device is retina. I didn't make it clear, but I understand the author's talking about log

I don't see Apple being one to release the tablet just to compete. The 7" would eat into 10" sales and a new formfactor only adds another resolution that devs have to account for (unless the original iPad's resolution is effectively retina

What's your hunch? I'm very curious as I haven't paid attention to any hardware in quite a while. As for non-disclosure, I'd guess it's just some industry politics. No need to burn bridges. That, and I can see irresponsible bloggers sensati

For creators, one of the reasons to own these devices is to create content for retina devices. I'm curious of Apple and Adobe have worked together to allow image documents to display at true resolution, within a scaled output? Does that mak
