The problem is that then large groups of people could route their traffic through a vpn and spoof Steam into thinking that everyone's on the same home network.

This is the same story I've heard everywhere, but have there actually been usability studies to show that flat buttons are somehow more user-friendly than 3D buttons? It seems like most people's gripes are with the fact that skeuo

If you look closely at all flat design, it's not flat. There's almost always a very thin bevel. There are several reasons for this: 1. it attempts to address the issue of flat UIs being absolute shite for UX. 2. it looks more

I was going to say... I thought one of the major selling points of CoffeeScript was that it outputs JavaScript that is highly optimized for JS interpreters.

Except Steve wasn't a designer and he knew that. We all know Jony Ive, his work, and have watched the videos that put the spotlight completely on him and his creations. Did Steve have a lot of input? Definitely. Was he spending weekend

It's pretty selfish of me, but I hope that Square and Stripe stay separate because I think they both keep their competitors, er... competitive, and honest. Both companies are a pleasure to work with, so I have a[n irrational?] fear tha

Several annoyances here: 1. Showing hand-drawn versions of your logo in what clearly is set in hardly-modified Optima (a typeface designed way back in the 1950s) makes me cringe. Why show fake process work? 2. No one is impressed when the m

If you have a decent internet connection at home with reliable uptime, you can also just set up a VPN at home and connect that way. My router comes with OpenVPN on it, so I don't even need to have extra hardware running.
