As with any graphics format, different formats have strong points. One wouldn't use PNG for a portrait and a JPEG for a block of text. So I look at PDE and notice that its few points and colour contours bear a lot of similarity to a ba

I think they just want something to complain about and aren't actually on mac os. I've already seen a number of examples which are simply fairy tales. (Such as claiming they're being prompted when opening ordinary jpg files.) That said, eve

Probably worth noting, since a few stories have left this out: The phones labelled "Sony" aren't actually Sony designs or devices. They're fully apple designed, most likely using the brief of "what would sony do here." It's being brought to

Contrary to the tweets, I think it's perfectly fine to be upset about sparrow no longer being developed. The days of software being unchanging are gone, that's a pre-internet way of thinking about computing, and it's perfectly fine to be up

In most cases software or firmware patching is sufficient, even in the case of some heat issues. If it can not be fixed via patch or only affecting a small batch of users, then returns are a better approach to distributing firmware. If it's

If it's an overflow/waterfall type issue(for lack of a better descriptive term) then turning the screen off and on will fix it temporarily until the trigger (such as heat) sets it off again. It's less likely a calibration issue because the

If it's heat from the hardware, that can still be fixed with either more optimised drivers, or outright capping performance.

Quality of membership(i.e actual use) is more important than raw membership numbers. Those who seek out LinkedIn/Facebook/others are likely to be more interested in using the service than someone who joined G+ because their default search e

I agree, designing in pixels has always been the wrong way to go about it. It is only needed when there is a restriction in the number of pixels available to work with(such as displays that have large pixels.) The beauty of high pixel densi

I wonder if the author is wondering why there is a sudden influx of traffic after 6 months. There is more interesting discussion on the ~7 months passed HN thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3376620

I'd recommend a simpler approach than contours or trying to convert blocked areas into patterns. Simply adjust the levels (or use replace colour) so the block colours aren't so dark. Advanced users would remove the magenta channel entirely

I did laugh, but the poor performance is predictable. A single session of siri will produce nonsensical answers when asking a set of unrelated questions. The comparison is designed to favour google voice search and to produce giggles. Below

I think rather it's much more straight forward, Apple's mobile devices make up the bulk of their income, it's where they're pointing their business as a whole now. A growing segment of their mobile device sales aren't covered by any EPEAT c

It's nice to see real discussion about good products, rather than hearing the opinions of thinly veiled loyalists. As a person who is often mistaken for being an apple fan because I'd rather people discussed each platform factually rather t

Sad panda. I thought this was going to be funny. Instead it's a serious attempt at linking the two, which is a bit like going to google trends and concluding that Christmas trees cause AIDS, because they both trend similarly.

Media distribution rights are held by the studio, the artist can continue to produce other content that their contract allows for(many have active twitter accounts/facebooks & behind the scenes clips.) The music video clips in question

Google's own top 10 searches are usually populated with music stars. Taking just last years Zeitgeist we have Rebecca Black and Adele in 1st and 7th place respectively. Sure it could be people hunting for nude pics and news, but given it's

Vevo would certainly take a hit, but it won't be their end. I think a competitor could do more with vevo than the commoditising approach of youtube. Imagine if vevo were incorporated into facebook for example. It would be a larger audience

Thank you for your opinion on my conduct. However you should note that I did not make the argument that all "google fans" were of this type of illogical character, rather that some do and have already begun filing responses of this kind

I don't think it'll be the undoing of youtube - not at all. Youtube offers much to their audience, this certainly won't dramatically change their business. It does however give any competitor a much better standing to compete against youtub

I get that this site(HN) has a lot of google fans, to the point that often completely illogical arguments are painfully maintained by characters that would rather gush loyalty than have an honest discussion. But to those that think youtube

You're implying that my observation is ridiculous. I think you're the one being incredulous/insincere here.

I don't see patents, or patent defence as a problem. The problem is that patents are being granted for lowest-bar "innovations", which are leading to these cases by companies that are merely using it as yet another competition tactic. In te

I noted this above, but what is analogous between doors of a bygone era and accessing a touch-based device. Swiping a portion of the screen is the obvious component, but the skeuomorph isn't, I'm yet to see a good rationale for why this is

I don't think apple are really trying to protect their intellectual property per se. After all the patents they put on the line are frivolous, and usually easily discounted... after a lengthy case. Instead I believe these lawsuits are their

I've already stated that I view the patent system as broken. We agree here. The question I'm asking is within this broken system. How natural is this gesture? It means without the apple iphone, would we still be using this gesture, would it
