I used to think this way. I remember writing an angry rant comment on a review of the Magic Trackpad, saying it was the beginning of the end for precise, professional input. Now, of course, I exclusively use the MT with my Macs & plan o

I want something like that's halfway between links/w3m & readability/reader view - basically a version of readability that's an actual browser. Maybe one day lightweight design will be trendy.

Are you so certain our model of human behavior has gotten better? We face a similar, although less direct, problem with drug prohibition today: due to following outright prohibition over regulation, innumerable people are affected by tainte

During driver on-boarding Lyft trains drivers to converse with passengers, while Uber actively discourages it. This is the dynamic you're picking up on, and to me it plays out clearly in the customer space. I prefer a quiet ride, there

Becoming "paleo" (I prefer the term 'evidence-based diet'). Transformed my body composition, energy levels, and overall health. Introduced to it through the wonderful nomnompaleo app.

The real evidence of this is the news today of Ford (as far as I know last of the major car companies with presence in the US) incorporating CarPlay into their console software. I've heard the reason for the swift industry-wide uptake

Die-hard gamers will burn out quick but the minor attention investment required combined with the game-ification of recreational walking will keep games like this one popular for a very long time. We're not dealing with people sitting

AR done right inherently involves person-identifying interactions. All week almost everyone I know has made brand new real life friends while on their poké-travels. That's the draw here.

This is a great space to be in. Contrary to even the tone of the article, mainframes are still widely in use across a huge number of industries. Typically in industries slow to adopt major changes - but we're at a moment where the COBO

Sure, snappier on older hardware is a plus. But we've got a 4 year replacement cycle, and a slight increase in snappiness isn't what I'd call a major upgrade.

Apple needs an app revolution that drives people to seek faster CPU's. Seems like the only way to obsolete such effective & robust devices.

Not sure about the conclusion but you're absolutely right about the problem. This is why the social networks are eating such a great percentage of screen time: pure content, outside of web applications, is better suited in a single for

Some interesting theories - at first appears quite reductionist but I think succeeds in highlighting something very symbolic. Odd, though, that pg can write an entire essay about identity politics without naming it.

They really need to pivot, and I'm not seeing them do it. To me the answer is obvious: Blockbuster :: Netflix :: actual movie theatre Old Gamestop :: Steam :: new gamestop with all but the rarest used games hauled away, & using the

I think the long plan here is what Tim Cook specifically said when announcing Apple Pay - eventually, the iPhone will replace your wallet and keys. This in turn will make iPhone an essential part of life - a necessary goal for a product so

Perhaps I'm wearing rose-colored glasses as a non-gmailer, but I think in the end everyone is served better by more difficult types of innovation. I look forward to seeing what Paper turns out to be.

I've always wondered: is it the limitations of the sandbox that are the problem, or is it expectation? If we never had access to execute outside the sandbox, would we simply say we "see the reasoning" as we do for iOS?

I think you see a widely disproportionate amount of these reports with Apple's services from the tech/blogger/twitter crowd (same went along with Apple Music). I believe this is because Apple mainly tests in clean environment

iTunes isn't designed for the type of users this article discusses. The real issue the author should have focused on is there is no ecosystem as progressive or stable which is still focused on users who need/want to listen to thei

The most surprising thing about these is the stark reminder of Microsoft's dominance during this era. Whether it's the terminal emulator running on NT4 or Internet Explorer being the only sensible browser on a Mac, Microsoft has f

From a sysadmin in the field - it's complicated. New Server features are primarily controllable via PowerShell and now only secondarily expose a bit of control via GUI. So, indeed PowerShell has taken precedence. However, it would be w
