There's very little I like about Metro, but I do like that Microsoft is focusing on the total user experience across all its products. Perhaps they need to divide the company into 3 components — consumer (win metro / tablet / phone), enterp

If I had a penny for every security guy who thought a government was out to kill him, I'd be a rich man. Paranoid drives that industry. :) It's rare but threats happen given the data and relationships a security officer of a public firm wil

Steve Blank is one of the best, and one of those people who make me feel ashamed I don't write. Have enjoyed his writings for many years since being exposed to him on HN. Steve aside, I clicked through the StartupPlays.com site and really a

As a designer who studied typography and spent a few years working in print a long time ago, I love typecast. But practically speaking, Google Fonts has serviced most of my needs. It's free for one, and that's a pretty big deal. And two, I

I totally agree. Not only that, tools can vary depending on which industry you are shipping product in. If it has anything to do with finance or healthcare, PCI and HIPAA compliance can certainly impact what tools your security/compliance o

The video mentions they've only been working in the 3D printer world for less than a year. So now they know how to fix "all the problems" to make 3D printing available to the masses? The leadership page doesn't give me a lot of confidence i

First, this would mean the product is immediately perceived as outdated in comparison to its cousins. And for a smaller screen, why use anything less than retina? Not likely to happen. Second, the more consistency across the various product

It's installed on the inside of the door, on top of the existing locking system. My comment was mostly about consumer confidence when it's hanging on a j-hook at a retail store, or standing alone through through another distribution outlet.

Awesome! I love the concept and will purchase one after I move from a condo with an auto-locking door system, which i loathe! :( From a product design perspective, maybe consider a rock-solid brushed metal version.. if not purely for aset

So the iPad and iPhone are retina, but this iPad mini will not be retina? Surprised that a technology author would assume Apple would take a step backward like that.

An elastic social network to share photos with people at the same event in real-time? Sounds about as ingenious as a social network around credit card transactions. Oh.

I came here to post the same thing. I use to play UT/CS competitively and worked for a startup that licensed our technology to id Software and Riot Games / League of Legends a long time ago. UT2k4 was an amazing FPS game with a really steep

Well technically it's 'infinitely' big. Most people's brains breakdown when you start trying to tell them about the idea of a 4th dimension that holds the universe. I think this is why humanity defaults to religion as explanation for the un

Page size was a very valid concern the last 5 years of iOS / Android, but LTE will make the issue about as minor as it is today for desktops. I'm not suggesting pagespeed isn't important, that's something completely different and impacted b

It's not considered 'work'. You're counting hours as if the 40 hour ceiling is of importance; no offense but it doesn't seem like you understand passion.

People hate on software patents like they were hating on the cellphone industry just 5 years ago. One company doubled down on their innovation while disrupting their own major revenue channel. Meanwhile, the many stagnant phone manufactures

Color theory is simple to apply with CSS. The type of veneer I'm describing goes way beyond that. Fortunately with CSS3, more of it is moving to the style sheet but it was very tedious until LESS and mixins came into the picture. Don't forg

I have used many frameworks of the past, but Bootstrap is in a different league coupled with LESS. It just is. I see Bootstrap as being not too dissimilar from iOS UI. In the early days, you saw a lot of UI's built on Apple's native guideli

If you're referring to Jobs as the last guy that had "Zuck's zeal", you need to get to get a reality check. Jobs built multiple multi-billion dollar companies that redefined innovation. He (and his team) created the personal computer market

These types of services really need to consider delivery over HTTPS, especially now that Facebook requires it for the app canvas and for added security over mobile WANs.

I understand, your argument is why I used Dropbox's primitive version control over SVN. I never had to think about it. But now I use git, and I don't even consider myself an engineer. I do front-end. Structurally speaking, git makes 10x mor

It really upsets me that this guy is from Texas, which the media generally makes sure to highlight (fortunately this article does not). I assure you, he does not represent the majority.

I've been one of the biggest fans of this service since it came out. Hugely disruptive to PayPal, we integrated their service in minutes over PayPal's laborious API, documentation, and error-prone sandbox. Congrats to the team, much deserve

You know, we solved persistent background sound with hidden frames and MIDI tracks back in the 1990s. :) Jokes aside, I wonder how on-going development and maintenance is for a "single file" website...

Moderators may make mistakes here and there; they are human so just deal with it. It's what makes this place great. The hand of god's helpers has always been here, most of the time you don't know it. Can you imagine how snarky this place wo
