We don’t deserve anything. Publishers can do whatever they want. If you don’t like it, don’t send them nasty emails or browse their sites with ad-blockers: just don’t support them.Marco.org - News flash
“But a problem arises when you allow precision-based design principles to hinder user experience. All too often, when faced with a decision about how to implement certain functionality, engineers take the extreme position that:
- A feature must be exactly what 100% of users want.
- If the above isn’t true (and it almost never is), the feature must be configurable.
This binary approach is gravely wrong, and unjustly offloads decision-making onto the user of the software. We’ve all seen where this approach ends up: multi-row sets of tabs, scrolling panes of checkboxes, nested radio-buttons and a general overload of configuration.”
“The new version of Microsoft Visio - which, in case you’re not cursed with a sucky office job, is a very popular diagramming app - includes a rip-off of Panic’s Transmit truck.” (via Neven Mrgan’s tumbl)

Intergalactic FM for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Here it is! The “official” Intergalactic FM app for your iPhone. This app came to be as I was playing around with Matt Gallagher’s AudioStreamer class, thought about Intergalactic FM, asked them if they wanted an app, and they said “sure!”. So, there you go! It’s free, and it’s the best music in the galaxy, so get it now.
“As a computer savvy person, it’s easy to forget how different the average joe is from you. This disparity is the source of much frustration and inefficiency in the world. And it’s only going to get worse, unless we do something about it.”

“I have invented Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into “rm -rf /” and wipes your hard drive.”
“Flourish is a musical toy and composition tool for the iPhone. The elegant interface allows you to quickly build expressive, diverse and complex arrangements.”
What a neat looking (and sounding) app!
