When I had a blackberry, and BBM was all the rage, read receipts would give me a lot of headaches. Most of the time it was fine, but I remember occasions where I'd turn data off on my phone so I could read a message without the person

The risk is that it becomes too popular causing google's ad inventory to plummet.

You define the start command in the package.json anyway, so presumably Herkou can just read that?

Pretty cool idea, the no jailbreak thing, while true, is a bit disingenuous though, since you need your own developer account. What are the chances that Apple would just revoke all the keys used to build this app? Surely it's against t

To counter your (valid) points... 1. What if self-driving cars ends the idea of car ownership as we know it. Self driving cars turn the concept of driving from one place to another, into getting from one place to another. You could book you

It just becomes part of the cost of doing business. We still have credit cards, even though credit card fraud exists, it's just factored into interest rates. If 1% of batteries get stolen (which is probably way higher than it'll a

There's an old scam that's been going round, where a person calls up a mark claiming to be from their bank. They say that there are some security issues with their bank account and for security reasons, they should call the phone

I thought Firefly was a pretty good attempt, shame it didn't take off.

This is a great untapped market, people go crazy for pets and spend a hell of a lot of money on them. I think the pitch should be "turn your terrier into a tamagotchi"

This is why I think the Tesla Model S would work so much better in a country like the UK. I grew up in the north east, which is about 200 miles away from London. A trip to London was an epic journey, involving a stop at a service station on

Pretty cool, but is there any need to use jQuery? You could have achieved the same with vanilla JS and CSS transitions

> There is a difference between an icon and a real skeuomorph design. How would you represent a pen without drawing the shape of a pen otherwise ? I wouldn't; personally I don't think there is anything wrong with using real world metaph

I think all the examples are examples of true flat design, the graphics and such are all flat. If you're talking about a skeumorphic free design, then I think they'd be extremely difficult to find, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Re

It seems to me that a lot of articles about flat ui contrast it with skeuomorphic design, which misses the point. In all the examples, even though the visual design is "flat", there are many cases where it's still skeuomorphic... See the pe

I think the iOS model works a little better because you can defer requesting permissions until you actually need them. That way the user can get a better understanding of what the app is going to do with those permissions. A game has a feat

On a similar note, gmail allows you so put dots in your email address, so when I give my email address out to humans, I use first.last@gmail.com, and when I give it to computers, I use firstlast@gmail.com I find that this easily filters out

I agree, I'd argue that Photoshop is an expert system, it (rightly so) has a huge number of features and being able to have all these features without modes would probably make the app completely unusable. With the TV remote however, I'd fl

I always wonder, if you spend a length of time in space, you must get used to being able to leave an object in mid air, go do something, and go back and pick it up later. When astronauts come back to earth, do they have some adjusting perio

I think that sites like Hacker News, Reddit and Facebook are much better for promoting discussion of articles. A problem with comments on blogs is that it's difficult to generate a community. If you look on any large site that has comments

A cool thing that PCKeyboardHack can do is have key remapping only apply when you're in a certain app. So, for example, I have Caps Lock mapped to <C-a> but only when I'm in iTerm2 (for switching between windows in screen)

I'd say that student loans in the UK work more closely to how this investment scheme works (you only pay back if you earn over a certain threshold)
