It's a mail app that treats inbox triage like shoving all your physical messes in time-based closets instead of actually dealing with the mess (like Boomerang). But it has a few very clever swipe-based interactions that are an improvement u

What's even more amusing is that sentiment ("electronic music is now catching on") finds its way up every decade. 80s -> Disco & House -> Pop, New Wave 90s -> House -> Pop 00s -> Electro & DnB -&#

Not a new thing at all, you're right. Sidenote, totally trivial, but in case you care: Orbital only recently (past 5 years) moved to Ableton as a control hub, but still use a ton of outboard gear. Before that they were running the rig off A

The issue is not that controllerism & live manipulation of machines is a new phase of musical performance, it is that the technology available to electronic musicians has matured to where the advantages of CPUs, GBs of sample storage, l

Wait, this is saying that a genre that was created through instrumachines — people playing a bunch of old roland x0xes, then later the sp-12s/1200s, then later MPCs, live — will somehow be revolutionized by the newer forms of the same instr

I first met him in '00 (I think). He came up right after I played a live techno set in a warehouse in Oakland, and I second this. As someone who grew up on 2600, my excitement for meeting Draper quickly turned to backing away once the topic

I often think that Steve Jobs' biography is the worst thing that has happened to enlightenment, and the methods we seek in achieving it, in modern culture. This was a great read. Thanks for sharing it. It's a shame the responses are overwhe

Sigh or not, you are sighing to someone who already went through this (me) and was told by the Las Vegas Police that it was a dead end. The buyer used a fake name and hijacked someone else's paypal account (or claimed such had happened to h

It's just that the scamming is more common with iPhones. There are many public cases where the similar scam was pulled as the buyer returned an "item not as described" as an empty guitar case full of rocks/synth box full of books/etc.

That is exactly what happened with me. The way they hide behind poor communication and offshore CS reps is amazing. I'd receive answers to my emails that had nothing to do with the content itself, recommendations to check a FAQ in response

Vlad, I had a similar thing happen last year with an iPad. I even went through a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and appealed it, but PayPal is able to hide behind their fine print. I think the only way to protect ourselves from

I just can't believe that my tweet launched the entire story. That was insane. My friend IM'ed me at 11:27a PST yesterday saying "Dude, my whole studio just got laid off. We have 2 hrs to vacate. Can you email someone?" Hit twitter, and it

Great dissection, thanks for sharing! Similarly argued, icon fonts are cool but have x-browser rendering issues, dependence on webkit for accurate anti-aliasing (currently), require sticking to a 32x32 grid, and altogether lead to a massive
