Russell up? Is this 4000 drone army the revolution that Mr.brand is speaking of?
That's a courageous and bold statement to make. Apart from the weasel words that entirely undermine it. If you want to say that all lawyers are evil, without any evidence, at least have the conviction to say that. If…
Probably best to throw any science under the bus if it's going to get in the way of normal grown ups simulating mass murder.
> They don’t show the product. This is a product ad, not a brand ad or a perception ad. And Apple has always impressed me (blah blah blah...) Does not bode well for the rest of these bullet points when the first one…
Agreed, given the overwhelming discrimination that demonstrably exists in IT sectors it would be nigh on impossible to prove that hiring a lot of women was an act of discrimination as opposed to a natural result of not…
Interesting episode of QI(G07) points out that prior to the 20th century the colours pink & blue for boys & girls were reversed.. http://youtu.be/2f7urmRaRxY?t=2m12s
How does switching to zero revenue possibly avoid the problem of developers not getting paid enough?
I just noticed that the spool sizes are also accurate indicators of duration. The two spools, how long you've listened for & how long remaining are another elegant way of visualising duration. Sometimes you are…
Podcasts aren't hosted on apple's servers. iTunes simply links to them, without ads.
Which would be an appropriate arrangement of it was their content. But it isn't. Would you be willing to pay for those two products without the podcasts themselves? Of course not, the app and the servers are valuable to…
You don't see why taking advertising money for repackaging someone else's content is wrong?
First of all it provides a visual cue as to the rate at which a podcast is being played at, a constant cue rather than an indicator that has to be found and read. For that reason, on a purely practical level it is…
I posted this in the comments of the blog yesterday but it hasn't been approved yet, I imagine there are a lot of comments to get through. Please excuse the second person singular grammar, I'm copying this straight from…
Cute interface. The aesthetic could be a little more refined but the behaviour and the animation is quite charming.
Johannes Itten, of the Bauhaus, is the go to guy for colour theory, both these books are fantastic: The Art of Color: The Subjective Experience and Objective Rationale of Color…
>I’m pretty much only using it to consume content. I suspect that most people use their iPads similarly: And with that line it seems clear that this article is not about people like me...
The back button doesn't make sense in Angry Birds. If an interface element is superfluous or unpredictable in Angry Birds then it makes no sense to bog down a touch interface with it. Angry Birds may seem to be a silly…
Ads are features?
Interesting the amount of value that is attributed to a user typing a slogan.
Thankfully we can use a user's ip adress to ensure this only effects Hollywood executives.
What the hell have they done to that website to make it impossible to read on an iPhone?
BIG space doesn't solve the exponentially-reproducing colonist issue though...

Agreed on it being a terrible article. Way too many 'clever' turns of phrase. Why make a statement when you can juxtapose some pop culture references? Seems much more of an act of self indulgence than the condemning of…
