And I never would have imagined that renting scooters could be a viable business model. To me, the idea sounds just as ridiculous as renting spatulas on the street corner. Because, you know, sometimes you really need a spatula and it would be convenient if there were always some spatulas lying around nearby.
First of all, I really hate these thin fonts. They may look neat on hi-DPI displays but not everyone has one.
Secondly, the text on the left screen capture looks like it had its pixels hammered to the nearest pixel, which is the typical crappy-looking Microsoft anti-aliasing while the text on the right looks like normal anti-aliased text to me.
Oh don't get me wrong, I like a bit of skeuomorphism too, but he just went a little bit too far with it. But not much. I also agree that the current "let's make everything flat" trend is complete bullshit that nullifies decades of progress. What's even worst is the new trend of even hiding flat controls and making them look like regular text, we can't even know if we can interact with the fucking things. That's the worst counter-intuitive bullshit I've ever seen and as you say the whole fucking industry followed them right off the cliff. Damn fool idiots, all of them.
Sounds like they should have kept Scott Forstall and not made him the fall guy for the “Apple Maps fiasco”.
Have you ever seen Scott on stage, presenting stuff? He knew what the fuck he was talking about and was able to present things as well as Steve Jobs himself. So yeah, they really should have kept this guy. The only bad thing he was responsible for is a bit too much skeuomorphism.
And the should have also dumped Jony “Make it thinner!” Ive, responsible for bend-gate, removing the iPhone headphone port, and the Mac Book “Pro” Touchbar with its crap-keys, soldered RAM, soldered SSD - all fit the insane pursuit of making it just a few mm thinner. And I’m not a fan a fan of the slow, soft talking product intros, with more pauses than even Obama used.
I also agre with that point. A company should let engineers design products and then you tell your "industrial designer" to make it look pretty, not the other fucking way around.
As for your XPS15, I keep hearing about that model... is it easy to turn into a Hackintosh laptop?
And you think "I don't care about cities with less than a million people crammed in it" is a healthy way to think?
And I'm also talking about other countries, where there's maybe only a fww big cities and the majority of the population does not live inside these crammed megapolis.
I have no idea why you had to add your anti-Trump point of view into your comment, most of the world does not really care about your orange-tinted asshat-in-chief.
Maybe Apple should have a few dozen employees in smaller towns and cities in countries all over the world, because I'm sure they have a pretty skewed view of what people want/need.
Or possibly, shoot scenes involving visibly-spoken dialogue twice, back to back... once in English, and once in the country's official language. It would cost more, but not THAT MUCH more since you'd be using the same cast (they're all bilingual, remember), the same CGI, and could do the editing workflow in parallel... and you'd end up with two versions, both of which were a first-quality original shot in their respective languages.
I think the EU is thinking in similar lines, but they see it as "it will force Netflix/Amazon/Apple/etc to come finance TV shows and movies here instead of only investing in the U.S.A."

Change for the sake of change is the enemy of usability.
Buy a dumb computer monitor.
"But computer monitors are too small for my huge-ass living room in my McMansion!"
Well, fuck you and your McMansion. That was your choice.
My god, have you been living in a cave for the last 15 months? Don't you know about SpatulasForRentOnTheStreetCorner.com?
I say potato, you say vodka.
PHRASING.

Score: 5, That's gold Jerry, GOLD!

I beg to differ, 10.9.5 has been extremely reliable for me since its release day.

How Pixar movies are changed for international audiences.

The Red Green Show
That's more or less the only two good TV shows ever made in Canada.
This kind of crap is why I never install any extensions.
If we want to be pedantic, doesn't the headline implies that users went to Facebook's offices and deleted Facebook itself from their servers?
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Chrome has a more Metroid-morph-ball-looking logo.
I'm going to post a stupid question and then go read what it is, so here it goes:
Haven't browsers had variable fonts since the introduction of CSS?
If you ask me, TiVo is made to be used with something that has been dead for nearly a decade, i.e. cable/satellite TV. They just don't know it yet.
That's also a Japanese thing.
Sony is a Japanese conglomerate. Each division is run as a separate entity, which is why in the year 2000 this happened.
It explains why a PlayStation could get repaired for 18 years while their TVs will never get 18 years of support.
Why should we care what that guy thinks? He's a dick.
