Apple design often prioritizes "slick, stylish and minimal" over straightforward, obvious and pragmatic utility. It's definitely gotten worse as demonstrated with the iPhone X, but they've always had things like hidden

It is OK to laugh at people when they say stupid things. If Kirsten wants to be taken seriously then she needs to do some editing and remember that her audience is not a choir of feminists. She goes on to complain about the field being &q

Why are you rewriting history? Apple didn't just decide not to embrace Flash, they actively decided to kill it. Apple banned flash based apps in their review guidelines and Adobe didn't see a way forward since Job's had decid

Modern tech companies enjoy maintaining the delusion that developers that make apps and content on their platforms are extensions of their employees and contractors and they have the right to dictate and control their development. This is

If by some miracle a comp sci researcher does publish something relevant to industry most people would rather wait for some other poor soul to deconstruct their work and make usable code or a library out of it.

It's nearly trivial for apple to add proper mouse support and just have apps self-identify as needing mouse or not. There's lots of things where touch controls just don't work well and it's not about "screwing up&q
