For everyone decrying the Apple Watch, this shows what "ugly" and "pointless" truly look like.

I've never seen an Android widget that I felt justified its existence, and I'm thinking the same will be true for iOS.

Designing for variable screen resolutions in Photoshop is insane. Something like Antetype with automatic layout makes much sense: http://antetype.com

Both Kirk and Janeway were much less by-the-book. They had no compunction against violating the prime directive, making unscrupulous alliances, seducing young ensigns, or reading the Constitution to a planet of Nazis (or something like that

>San Francisco is well known for its transformations, the most recent one fueled by tech money that has seemingly scrubbed much of the city clean. Well if this is to be taken literally, it's laughable. San Francisco's thoroughf

Hate to be a downer, but I wasn't impressed with Star Fox even at the time as an 8 year old boy. Clearly a case where the technology had not yet caught up to the ambition. That said, I've always been fascinated by the idea of cart

I've always interpreted the quote as meaning that good artists are able to recognize worthy work and imitate it, while great artists take that work and make it their own, improve upon and personalize it. The Macintosh team "stole&

The Lisa UI looks clunky and ugly to modern eyes (akin to though not as bad as other early GUIs like Windows 1.0 and OS/2 Presentation Manager), while the original Macintosh still looks clean and well thought out. Goes to show you why

Not everyone is as cynical as you. I believe the people at Apple genuinely want to make great hardware and software that enhances people's lives. Their world-class accessibility support is proof enough of that.
