Adobe cannot be bothered to deliver a performant Flash plugin for regular OS X or Linux boxes, what makes you think they could do it for a device with just a fraction of the power? And I’m not talking about just video playback here, Flash d

I think this product is an exception to that rule. The reason is that there is no tablet market. It doesn't exist. Apple is doing what they hardly ever do here; they're selling the iPad at low margins (which will get higher with time) in or

The AppStore is a means to an end, it's not a gold mine. If I remember correctly from the last report, it about breaks even.

I think the burden of proof lies with the person claiming things that nobody has seen does in fact exist.

Has a single malware or virus made it passed them? Please provide sources for this if you have anything but a hunch.

by tjogin 17y ago
Also, the AppStore means never having to worry about malware or viruses. That means no hesitation, if you see something you like, just get it, it's just a single click. Fear of malware, viruses, or just accidentally changing some setting ca

It would basically not have any battery life at all. So no, you wouldn't buy it.

Uh, but he is allowed to say anything else about it? Besides, he previously used "my NDA is basically over" as a pretext for spilling the beans about it ( http://twitter.com/Jason/status/8269986584 ). So which is it? Does he care about th

I think it's rather obviously not real; sarcasm, a joke, or whatever. For one thing, why doesn't he turn the device over and see what its name is, rather than calling it "Apple Tablet"? Solar pad charger, that doesn't really work? Very unli

That works just as well, and it certainly proves you're right. What I'm wondering is if this was done on purpose or not. If it was on purpose they're lying bastards, and if it wasn't on purpose, it seems they know jack shit about encoding,

It's not that I don't believe you, but it would be great if someone would properly encode that file as MP4 so we could see the quality and size for ourselves. I'd do it but I don't know shit about encoding video.

I don't think you can really hide a personality like that. I think he's doing something else entirely, something AFK like just being a father or some such.

One of the better design related articles I've read lately. Good way to illustrate a problem that can otherwise be hard to explain.

Gordon Ramsay started with one restaurant.

Yeah, I'm sure he could learn a thing or two from you.

by tjogin 17y ago
Wow, and from just that you were able to determine that he only reads books that reinforces his existing beliefs? Holy assumptions, Batman!

This is exactly why you should never use your personal experience as an indicator of what the norm is. Instead you should observe the world — and in it designers design and programmers program, only rarely does one person enjoy both.

by tjogin 17y ago
I know precisely what you mean. I'm just like you, well, almost. I'm a programmer who started in design. But we are exceptions — we are not the norm. The norm is that programmers like to program and designers like to design. Most programm

by tjogin 17y ago
Programming is a left-brain endeavor, designing utilizes the right side of the brain. Enjoying one of these tasks does not mean you enjoy the other, and certainly not that you're any good at it. The reality is that most designers aren't als

Debugging a turing-complete full-fledged programming language is the same as debugging markup? Interesting. I thought the whole point of Sass, the topic of this discussion, was to introduce more powerful programming concepts to CSS? So whic

Doesn't matter who it's "targeted" for or what the intentions were — the fact of the matter is that Sass (and basically any other programming language designed to make html/css "better") is not popular in the design community. You can arg

by tjogin 17y ago
First off, "most people" won't be using Sass instead of writing CSS directly, any time soon. Sass hasn't really been picked up at all in the design community (who are the primary users of CSS), it's a programmer's solution to a programmer's

And how does that spell the "demise" of CSS?
568.
by tjogin 17y ago
Yeah, Sass spells CSS's demise the same way PHP spelled HTML's. That is to say that it can never replace it, that the success of Sass is contingent on the continued success of CSS, and that the "demise" of CSS would also be the demise of Sa

I never even mentioned economics, thus your comment does not in any way disprove anything I said. In your example, the employer buys time, not information. Time is significantly harder to reproduce or copy than information is. So, one w

Unlike donuts, information wants to be free. I'm not saying that trying to be funny. It is in the nature of information to be free. One can try to shackle information, but one will have problems doing so, this is to be expected. When explai
