My thesis: part of this feeling comes from the fact that more eyes are on the OS and the apps, but many issues existed before. - I have some complaints about OS X: wifi, bluetooth, etc. - I like iTunes as it is today (not considering the sy

Slashdot is different. It has (had?) much more variety in subjects and people often write more articulated comments. Ten or more years ago it was a great site, then I noticed a gradual and general decline. Nowadays I follow it just sometime

As others have commented, I have fears about iAd. I hope Apple will refrain from that business completely.

Well written compendium of common design patterns. I love Backbone for its simplicity but I think most problems come from the use of the views' render function, which encourages the habit to have a _centralized_ way to refresh theirs c

I like it very much. I would push this even further: I see it as a sort of "Markdown for simple vector graphics", with tools able to convert it to SVG and other formats.
