Agreed. There is a huge chunk of the population that believes CK is the best working comedian today which definitely gave him some early traction (early adopters) I would say something more along the lines that a person like Dane Cook has m

One thing to note is that converting to outlines will essentially change the text to an 'image'. So it's like looking at a jpeg of text - it won't be able to be highlighted, copied etc. (I'm sure there was a better way to word that, but the

Reading some of the follow up tweets, @chrisdary, CTO of Readability and a partner of arc90 has separated himself from those opinions. Those comments were very surprising to me, and not just because Marco gave the nod to Readability about f

I think a bunch of services have caught on the + and . tricks in gmail. I'm not sure but it seems like my attempts have been blocked. Can anyone confirm?

Is the "something using Markdown" Dustin's blogging engine? Anyways, it's great to see this come from concept (Dribble) to a detailed mark/brand. What other languages have their own mark?

Proper attribution has been a part of the web since... well since forever. I think this is a great article because the idea of curation has and is continuing to become something that's very trendy. And of course, with trends, people feel th

In practice, I don't think anyone actually has a definitive answer to what differentiates them. I always interpreted them as mostly meaning the same thing.

You're 100% correct. PowerPoint just amplified the symptoms of what's wrong with presentations (corporate, academic or otherwise). People started to shift their focus to things that didn't matter as much (the slide deck) and deviate from th

I'm not sure it's that simple (but that's another discussion that's going on right now =)). Aside from that, some of the design lessons and considerations that come from considering color-blind users tend to be good design principles in ge

I love the way the examples are shown on this website. Very clear and compelling way to demonstrate the issues that come with colourblindness. A simple heuristic I use is to think about a display in black and white. There should be a way to

Reminds me of the feature in the iA writer app (called 'Focus' I believe?). Good stuff.

Could someone clarify using a service like OSM or Google Maps vs. using their data for map tiles? After the announcement I read tweets that basically said Apple was still using the Google Maps service, but the tiles were rendered by Apple?

to be fair, I can't be sure 100% of the time. However, in some smaller classes, I've witnessed some mid-semester changes in devices, which does suggest this attitude. Considering the iPad's cost vs. capability in an academic setting (incomp

As a student, the compromises people are willing to make in order to own an iPad are amazing to witness. While this is anecdotal evidence, iPads are becoming notetaking devices, with such cases being pretty common. In other cases, people ar

>I love visual design exercises like this, but it's one thing to throw it out there and a completely separate (10000x harder) feat to actually have this implemented. If you usability test this interface, it's going to fail all over the

Not to take away from the work, but am I missing something? This strikes me as primarily being a visual design or what some people call a theme. This is a great visual design. It's cohesive and incorporates zune/metro very well. I particula

I definitely agree, and I do think Siri and the like are very important steps to get there. I just don't think in the short term (relative short term) that these apps can gain enough traction in the wide scope that is championed by some of

I think Siri is important in a variety of ways, but voice driven apps in the traditional model (a la Siri) aren't how I perceive the future of interfaces to be. You wouldn't use Siri on a date, or in public would you? There are just some im

Mac OS is at a point where they simply can't take these drastic jumps that you may see in the competition. For one, they're now at a yearly cycle. Two, the audience has expanded and continues to expand it's user base. OS X's yearly cycles a

BagCheck is more of a good concept of a simplified login, but the implementation drops the ball. I've looked into registration/sign up flows for a project a while ago, and I find it hard to group Pinterest invites into the "sign up" flow. U

I've personally been very surprised at the lack of restraint some people have with regard to gestures. Gestures are nice and all but as you said, they're hardly discoverable. People make the claim that gestures are intuitive, but aside from

You sound like a very self aware individual (hard not to be if writing is your passion). But...I think you have to remember you're 16. Nothing you do is ever set in stone, regardless of age and everyone goes through changes. Teens go throug

To me, Lion really cemented the fact that the end goal of Mac OS is to make an invisible OS that requires zero tinkering just like iOS. Everyone should be able to use it and no one should have to access the file system. This transitional pe

The long standing mantra has been 'form follows function.' This is predicated on a particular product or object having a form (that reflects its purpose) to begin with. As items become increasingly 'form-less'I've always wondered what this

We may shed the need for accurate targets, but I would imagine there would be atleast a need for feedback that is not demonstrated in the 'vision.' But that leads to your second point. There's been anecdotal evidence that young children can

I was never sold on the idea of swipe becoming pervasive. That being said, I'm not sure if a 'natural feeling' interaction for the sake of convenience is necessarily the best. The swipe interaction isn't the most intuitive interaction for n
