Then why is it there at all if you don't expect your users to notice it?

TL:DR: "My mac broke. I didn't actually bring it in to get it fixed, but fuck Apple for not fixing it anyway."

The title of the article ("Timeless suits from London's Savile Row back in fashion") is a contradiction in terms. Either the suits are timeless OR they go in and out of fashion. Can't have both.

Any time you're working on a multi-page project, you will have items that get used across multiple pages. Navigation is the most common. If you're copy+pasting anything every time you add a new page, you're wasting time… For me, master page

I designed at 2x (even pixel sizes) for a long time. Now I design at 1x using vector shapes. With vectors you can double the size and remain perfectly crisp. My workflow is now MUCH faster. Bonus: 1x comps are better sized for clients to vi

I have lived in Chiang Mai for the last two years. My wife has Thai citizenship, which allows me to get a one year renewable visa. Still have to do 90-day border runs (never figured out why). Staying in Thailand for less than a year at a ti

If innovation == blatant copying, yes, this will muddy the future of innovation. If, however, innovation == trying something that hasn't been done before, I fail to see how this will do anything but help.

Article doesn't say a single thing about the iPhone 5, just rehashes the iOS6 press release.

This is a bummer for those who use Keynote as a wireframing tool. By sharing a Keynote file to iWork.com, clients could see and comment on the frames online and download the file in various formats. After years of trying various options, I

Well, except that didn't stop Apple from offering iBooks, Find my iPhone, iTunes U, Apple Store, Remote, Find My Friends, iTunes Movie Trailers, AirPort Utility, and Cards apps for free…

Am I the only one who is bothered by how similar the Bing results look to Google results? To illustrate my point, one of these is Bing and one is Google: http://d.pr/i/4KA5 Does this not cross an ethical line?

It will certainly make me think twice before buying new apps, yes. In some cases the app simply won't be worth the extra storage required (I'm thinking music apps in particular, since I like to play with them but don't use them seriously).

Seems odd to use 1px png background images for the nav instead of rgba colors. They're already using modernizr-style classes on the html element, so browser compatibility isn't the (only) reason.

I've gone through a bunch - Illustrator to Balsamiq to Mockflow and now HotGloo. I like Mockflow and HotGloo (both online fee-based apps) because they offer: (1) Master Pages (or at least Master Objects) to keep things DRY (2) a way for cli

I found Balsamiq completely unusable for large projects because of the lack of master pages. Maybe they've addressed this by now; that was ages ago.

I used to feel that way, but when I began using separate framing software I was pleasantly surprised by the results. Having to start the design phase from scratch in a new program freed me from slavish adherence to the frames and allowed de

His argument doesn't make sense. Personal savings don't get reinvested in capital equipment, corporate savings do. Corporate savings are being spent on all-time record CEO paychecks. Companies aren't investing in capital equipment because t
