I bought my Nexus 5 in 2013. It's still running pretty smoothly. Every time I see an app render using the N5 frame, I chuckle. It just reiterates my thought that I made a good choice when I bought my phone, and I like that feeling.

"The second would be to bite the bullet and tell the world what your plans are, even though it’s your decades-long tradition — a fundamental part of the company’s culture — to let actual shipping products, not promises of future produc

I got through 5 years of Engineering without buying a book. Between a bunch of copies of newer versions, some of older ones, some in English (this was in a Portuguese-speaking country) and some that couldn't be checked out from the lib

4) Forbes "Quote of the day". Seriously Forbes, that is irritating as hell. Still, my number 1 is loading the extra content and making elements jump around. A lot of times I: 1) see a link that interests me; 2) hover my finger ove

I remember Starbucks was doing it for their mobile app about two years ago, sacrificing security for a "better"/faster UX. It's one of those things that you think "No one would be dumb enough to do this", only

Thought so too, but the timelines don't match, since she mentions stuff about Xmas. Still, my jaw dropped a few more cm after reading those sentences, and believe me, it was already on the floor after reading the medium piece.

Totally agree on the UX. Example: 99.8% of the openings I've seen on their job board in the past 4 months all redirect to an outside board, usually Indeed. Actually, I only remember finishing an application inside LI once, which begs t

I guess I'm also lucky to have the latest 6.0.1 on my Nexus 5 running smoothly. Yes, it did get a bit slower after some updates, enough for me to notice it, but considering it shipped with 4.4, I'm still pretty happy with it. But

Fair enough. "break into your computer" does sound like getting hacked by them, which wasn't technically true, at least from what I know. Thanks for pointing that out.

I worked with a Google engineer once and he offered me advice as I was considering buying a new phone, namely the HTC One: "Phone manufacturers know how to make hardware. Google knows how to make software. When you marry the two with b

Remember the U2 fiasco, when Apple decided to break into your computer and push their new album through iTunes? It seems like whenever Apple decides to take control of your files, shit happens. Back in the day, I tried to use iTunes for a w

Write a script to rhythmically open and close the curtains, as well as turn the lights on and off for the whole floor. Then call OK Go and tell them to bring a drone because you got their next clip idea.

This was a bit of an "existential" question for me over the past years. I've been wondering if it was just me doing something I shouldn't be doing or if Skype was really going that bad, specially on Android. "It&#x2

This is a great example of how to get elements from mobile design (hamburger button, left sliding menu) and adapt it to desktop, which Apple has been slowly doing in the past versions. My 2¢: - 6 fingers on the trackpad means two hands on t

That's very true. Sometimes I wonder what the team behind WhatsApp does all day. They released Web and voice calling, but nothing since, and there's nothing to keep us expecting new things. No new features are added. Yes, they hav
