A parable through a former co-worker who went to SVA for design and got a few AIGA awards: I asked him, what made SVA special, since you could get everything you needed to train online. All of his professors wrote blogs and published books

Actually, I tried it and ctrl+tab is on by default in Safari as well. However, thanks for letting me know it exists in FF.

There's a major difference between eating soy products and eating washed soy proteins that are combined with corn to create heavily processed foods. And while soy isn't directly correlated with obesity, it's usefulness as a protein has crea

> Still uses a FOOD SOURCE to create GAS? Check, double and tripple (sic) check. Since corn and soy-based foods are one of the leading causes of obesity, this arguement is moot. Not to mention it actually costs less to buy a bushel

That's one of the few things Safari actually does (somewhat) well. ⌘-] , while not single key, makes tabbing fairly easy.

I am a front-end, and know Cocoa and deal with back-end systems in my working capacity, so I think I can comment on both sides. When I said "As a designer," I meant "in the eyes of a designer." Most people here like to wear enough hats th

On second glance, my post was a bit troll-ish. It was more in reference to large enterprise apps, the one in mind combines 4 formerly separate, disparate apps, a mail server and a file manager into a single install, and doesn’t have any bea

What's even worse is when the engineers usurp everything , from front-end to UX and design. As a designer, it pains me to see some interfaces that directly represent the back-end model, not the user's task.

Some people actually don't care about this sort of thing. If the the computer is the only point in the workflow, sure it's like being able to open the hood and fix the work truck. It makes sense for a computer programmer to truly own the

Confirmation bias, really. Most of the stuff not predicted on is fairly hum-drum. (Nobody's excited about cinema display forecasts.) However, I'll admit to laughing at Morris and Gruber when they estimated 8, 9 million as incredibly overblo

The opportunity cost for Facebook and Twitter is much lower than blogging, especially when most blogs were meant to target friends, relatives and co-workers. Really, if blogging was meant to be taken as social networking, there's no point i

The patent thing is just FUD by Apple proponents. But, I won't support WebM until it's an ISO standard, frozen is just a promise at this point. Their own site says "dedicated to developing a high-quality..." which, taken literally, means

When I quit facebook, I lost all of my college friends, except those who never used the service. All my friends outside of college? Perfectly fine. Maybe I'm just a terrible person.

"Cross Platform Play" is in all the titles I've seen, so I have to assume that there's going to be cross-platform play. Newell also talks about game invites, which are part of initiating a game with someone. Portal should work well in cross

Ok, so I did the same thing as you (delete facebook), but you're wrong in thinking that you're not anti-social by avoiding Facebook. Antisocial behavior is defined as " behaviour that lacks consideration for others and that may cause damage

Welcome to the next financial outlet after sub-prime mortgages. There seems to be an entrepreneurial spirit to this, however: find a regulated niche, weasel around it to provide clients with a high-growth and unsafe market. If the SEC doesn

Well, the early release works to an advantage: the power users will be there from February to June (when the iPhone 5 is released.) Meaning that anyone willing to wait for the new one will get to pick a carrier in real-world conditions.

There’s a lot of dev’s here that use OS X as their primary dev environment. (Yes, Android dev’s too.) Safari simply has the best chrome on Mac. The other ones use a lot of cross-platform widget placement, which feels wrong.

I’m a Safari user primarily, and while I generally use the webkit inspector as a last ditch when Firebug is being stupid, Firebug is much better at listing css styles. Webkit’s styles have way too much in the way of per-selector headers.

For a researcher who's both familiar and happy with Cocoa, I assume jailbreaking wouldn't be a big hurdle. Hell, GNUStep was created just to port a single application!

Most tradesmen have leeway in buying the tools that suit them best. This doesn't work in a corporation, as the amount of work IT would have to do to support every different computer that wanders in would be insane. Look at a college that ha

Cigarettes, DDT, Agent Orange, radium, hormone-leaching plastics, certain pharmaceuticals, antibiotic-laced meat. All were known to be harmful and were subject to a cover up to promote consumption. You can debate his example, but his point

I consider it the "Chuck Close" startup model. When Close started his portraiture, it was considered trite and boring, and there wasn't any competition in it. Same reason Paul Sahre got famous off of gig posters and why they're passe today.
