Form indicates function? Or at least insinuates.

I think that definition misses most of the point that the similarity is a deliberate throwback. I'd say a skeuomorph is a (often otherwise unnecessary) design feature that makes a new object feel familiar. "Skeuomorphs…

Handstand. (Or fingers.)
Tanks are still driven this way. Never thought of it as reins.
I suppose now the cat's out of the bag.
I agree with you. In the video I didn't see a medium white Canon lens as illustrated there. I'm not sure guessing at what a man in a hostile zone is brandishing from behind a corner is going to help:…

Meaning revenue if this particular latest good month were multiplied by 12, which, if growing, gives a number larger than actual annual revenue.
I understand the pigeonhole filing example, but I quit "filing" years ago. It's tedious. Tagging also takes too much thought, particularly at recall time: did I tag that "development" or "programming"? I just use…
First, I love reMail. Gabor breathes email and search. If you own an iPhone and use Gmail or Google Apps, get reMail--you'll thank him. That said, it's easy to skim this article and nod, "Yeah! Yeah!", but when we're…
Techcrunch could be delivered as a PDF. I get it on my Kindle. Just as most new web sites are not startup companies, most existing web sites are not apps. The distinction and difference is that a software application…
Is "O-off" a subtle dig at OAuth, or an audio transcription typo?
