Yeah I gotta agree here, I'm not sure I've seen someone so opinionated with python. I tend to try to use things built into python or official recs until I hit an actual problem that needs to be solved.

I'm not saying every choice they made is perfect. One of my qualms is the lack of backgrounds for button selection in areas with 'ok' and 'cancel' - which is one of the most important areas to give the user clear di

Google is making a huge amount of progress in UI and UX; the company has historically been rather mediocre in terms of it's UI and UX, while Apple was always the star. Over the past year or so the roles have reversed, and Google contin

Some big companies do, just not the ones you'd probably care to work at. If they make this choice they simply lose out on a certain set of individuals. Their loss, not yours.

Safari on OSX has always had the ability for a user to set their default browser preference (to chrome for example). I wonder if iOS will ever go this route. I find it odd that Microsoft went to court for doing the same thing in Windows but

I just wanted to throw this out there: you should first read the objective-c primer. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#referencelibrary/Ge... You mentioned the apple docs feel complex to you but I'd honestly recommend truly taking

As a long time Obj-C/iOS dev, web service interaction frameworks and/or best practices have been lacking for some time now. While RestKit works, it's learning curve is a tad steep and the sheer size of it can be a tad frightening in terms o

If Microsoft could actually release a desktop operating system that is properly designed visually and in terms of user experience, people could actually admire their PC's like they do in all of their stupid commercials. Their market share i

There _is_ usefulness to it if people would stop using it as a marketing/advertising tool and try to drive real value (which people need to be doing in general with mobile). We need to find uses within the enterprise or industrial space in

I posted and complained about that same skeumorphic podcasts app today. Apple leads so much in the realm of hardware design but is starting to take steps backwards in it's own application/software design. I'm very anxious and hopeful for Mi

Ramblings like this are a premier example of what is wrong with engineers today. If you are afraid to learn or use tools outside of ruby, you are not a true engineer. The world does not revolve around ruby. Get some real iOS development und

I think it takes a bit more deep analysis of what your skills & qualifications are along with what ideas you would have for either an app or game. Are you already an iOS dev?

I obviously can't say for sure how it works as I'm just an end user, but I can say you tell the device you are going to sleep and when you wake up. In between, it is obviously sensing your movement using the accelerometer, etc. My guess wou

This has an uncanny similarity to Color, even that custom tab bar has the same exact icon placement. To me this looks more like a new version of Color with tight facebook integration... or perhaps FB got Color to to the dev for this while t

Perhaps all artists of any sort should abandon all forms of media except the most recent technologies. Who needs oil paints, or working with woods, metals, etc. Let's go purely digital so everything can be absolutely perfect. The reality is
