Thirded! If anyone knows what it takes to get things off the ground, it's Mr. McDowall. He's assembled a pretty interesting cross-section of the startup crowd here - keenly looking forward to reading this myself.

No, $9 for another programming book. Which is a steal, frankly.

Thanks! Yeah, appending a hash is not ideal, but it got the job done - I'll be updating it with pushState or similar in the future.

Great suggestions, thanks. This is very v1.0, I'm going to keep tinkering.

I guess I should have pointed out that this is very much a 1.0 release. This is obviously not desired behaviour - thanks for the heads up.

I'm not trying to convince anyone that they're wrong. If I was, I could have easily said "If you use Fireworks, you're a bad person." I don't care what tools you use. What I'd like to see less of is the obsessive fascination with our tools

I don't understand what 3D printing has to do with floor space. You can't print an iMac. Also, this post assumes that Apple will make TVs 'ranging from 27 to 60 inches', which seems very un-Apple, at best.

I think the rise of the internet and the way do business thereon - fairly transparently, and socially - has made us more aware of how 'legacy' companies are behaving. Our expectations of how businesses should work has changed.

He's not slamming the entire service, he's slamming the redesign, and rightly so. The entire purpose of the site is to teach - and the changes to the design have obfuscated what course you're supposed to take next. The design is objectively

While I agree Dribbble's limited canvas doesn't really help to find 'designers' as you're defining them, to thus write off everyone on there as 'artists' seems a bit short-sighted.

I would argue that amazing UX _IS_ amazing marketing, precisely because people want to tell other people how awesome the UX is. I have a handy example: the meteoric launch of Clear.

The subtext of this headline seems to be "Why does Facebook have a secret paper fetish?" rather than "How awesome is it that Facebook has a secret paper fetish?" Personally, I'd be far more motivated by a fantastic screen-printed poster tha

The two examples here are basically the same - a position so top-heavy with requirements and areas of expertise that they'll both be equally difficult to fill. The fact that it's a design position in this case is not the problem - I would h
