I’ll have to research Activities and Intents. It sounds counter to the app model on iOS, which—arguably—is bad for technical users. However, I consider the the fact that the UX enables my parents to use an app out of box, and not have to en

FYI, I meant that the user should be able to test out your app without having to enter in any info, even if it means that saving is disabled.

There were a few OSS efforts to develop a new browser, one lead by Brent Simmons, but they all imploded.

Another "feature" would be the ability to use it without dropbox--save functionality removed. I don't have my dropbox password handy, so the app is completely unusable. (HTML"5" database/ javascript localstorage?)

Yes, but it's just as generic as i-anything, which is similar to e-anything. I'm pretty sure "e-phones" could have been a mid-90's spoof name of a pocket-pc. And "pad" was derided as similar to a feminine pad, a much worse link than a track

Some of us haven't gotten passports, or been fingerprinted yet. This may be analogous Schmidt's child/adult quip.

Which technical point of view? From an enterprise standpoint, where it's on par with the iPhone and behind Blackberry, or an API standpoint, where CocoaTouch has about 30 years of development lead-time?

You couldn't tell it was plastic? Must have been really good quality. I've known quite a few people who worked in gas stations and other places where they had to clean the rest rooms. If there was shit, it was generally either sprayed every

Eh, can't win 'em all. I wasn't even within 40 miles of a mac in 2000, the Steppenwolf thing is news to me.

#8: Buy a song Status: Done It compares buying a song for marketing purposes to selling music , and then moves on to an unnamed allusion of what Microsoft did with "Start me up" to what Apple does with background music. The takeaway is

Have you considered a wacom? You could pick up a used one for around $150 or less, and it will allow a lot more flexiblilty in what program you wire-frame in.

As a designer trying to pick up development for fun (it's Cocoa, lemme 'lone ) the biggest issue isn't in basic actions, or classes, or anything else. It was in getting from basic programming concepts to actually making a program do some

Yes: minus a former roommate, a girl who quit facebook herself, and somebody I worked with. People at work are suspicious when they find out I'm not on facebook, and try to cajole me into joining.

Um, the close friends (people I knew for four+ years) are the people who stopped talking to me after I dropped off of facebook. It was generally a "why aren't you back on facebook" for several months, and then they just stopped responding

Cost/value whatever. I'm talking about other people's perceptions of you, which aren't logical. This is the anti-social behavior i'm talking about: you're right, the world's crazy. "If one person calls you a donkey, ignore him; if five peop

Same experience here, as soon as I dropped out of facebook, I was immediately blacklisted in every social circle that used it, even if the primary mode of communication was texting/email. Some op-ed considered dropping out of facebook as a

You might want to look into an internship or classes abroad: really, any sort of structured program. Unless you’re a hardcore autodidact, the combination of interesting everywhere and an unfamiliar, difficult subject might be too much, an

No, because these aren’t pairs of people separated at birth. There’s groups of one thousand men, and one thousand women per racial group represented here. I agree on the perceptions though, there’s a ton of demographic sloughing going on he

A handful of friends who dev in C# use MBPs with Windows 7 on them. This... can cause issues with pro-mac network admins, one had a minor freak-out when the first thing my buddy did with his 2.5k laptop was to use a 3rd-party bootloader to

Unfortunately, the traditional way to solve this problem on a mac is to arrange the windows, and remove what wasn't needed. Full-screen apps weren't supposed to be used.

Furthermore, what’s with the recent hate on application-level switching? Just about ever “power user” I see nowadays wants Windows 98-esque window switching, despite the fact that the mac window manager is built around an application >

I'd wager that there'll be at least some sort of Bayesian "hate" filtering. That means something like "Fuck McDonalds" won't trigger the ad. No idea how they'd deal with positive-word, negative-connotation satire, though.

That's the 100/yr agreement, right? I'm sure it's coming fairly soon, they're shipping install-on-chip now, and it would be fairly pointless to sell an OS upgrade on a medium they're phasing out. I'd bet that Lion's shipped on a DVD with a

I haven't seen one, but it could be a fairly nice weekend project. Use a couple of hacks[1] to get the fonts, compare that with a list of font uses, and ask the user: What's the emotion to be conveyed? Where's it used? (Heading, wherever) T

I looked at the other reasons in here. And they were all about configurability, which is completely anathema to what the OP is talking about. "Just works" does not mean, "just have to configure what's out of the box to my preference" Anothe

While I agree with you in that CUPS is solid, and his printer issues are elsewhere--Guess what's used for mac printing?--the "no innovation elsewhere" is a bit misleading. The interface on a Mac is settling down because it really doesn't ne

Generally speaking, SciFi authors get the feelings right, while the minutia is laughable in retrospect. The rogue AI is a jetson-esque malevolence, but we are starting to see our systems rise out of our control: automated financial institut
