Funny, because I described it to some fellow devs as "if Perch and Jekyll had a baby."

Our devices should be making a statement about who we are and what we do Should be? They already do! The author clearly understands very little about marketing.

In fact, Safari is still the best browser when it comes to everything UI-related (animations, visual effects, …). I'm a Safari user who develops first and foremost in Safari, and I…

Serious question -- where do you shop that this amount of food for an adult only costs this much?

How is this from Google... "If we had Apple on board with PE, we’d still be on board too." ... anything else but a lame excuse? It's deeply unfortunate that Apple won't budge on th…

I get the impression this is more geared towards sites that would run the Deck, Fusion, et al. In other words, sites that tend to have very limited advertising and don't subscribe …

As others have said, really smart way of explaining features. But, I get the following console error on the demo: Can't find variable: performance

Any time this topic comes up, I think immediately of the Louise Woodward case (aka the British Nanny Case): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Woodward_case During the trial, much…

I was actually hoping this meant shows like The Larry Sanders Show and Dream On had found a home online. Darn.

Unless printing the page is a useful and usable byproduct (which may be the case in certain SaaS scenarios), I wouldn't give a print stylesheet more than 15 minutes of my time.

Good question: I was new to the Chicagoland area at the time and chalked it up to not being aware of what all the area codes were.

Have you considered working with a designer to gussy up the site a bit? That could go a long way toward representing more legitimacy. That said, I'm very impressed with what you've…

Ugh, I'm getting real tired of these snotty drive-bys masquerading as insightful criticism. Many job posts call for familiarity with Twitter Bootstrap, so is it proper to call out …

I use Stack Overflow (and to a lesser extent, Google) to help me with problems large and small all the time. Why break your neck to find a solution without finding out if someone e…

Definitely +1 for both "Thinking Too Far Outside the Box" and "Mysterious and Complex Navigation." I experience way too much of each on a regular basis. A message I try to drill ho…

For the same reason nearly everything McDonald's makes starts with "Mc" -- it establishes and reinforces brand cohesion.

One of Facebook’s board members is an investor in FiftyThree. This line tells the whole story. This isn't just the case of a large company perhaps not noticing another product in t…

The analogy I use is a web designer who doesn't know HTML and CSS is like a fashion designer who can't sew.

Revenue generation masquerading as public safety.

My primary need in a maps app is to answer the question "how are the highways in my metro area?" Google Maps nails it and Apple Maps doesn't, it's that simple.

We’ll also make sure you have control. If you see an ad you don’t like, you’ll be able to hide it and provide feedback about what didn’t feel right. You can control what you see...…

Pinterest's users are mostly women. In the US, this is true. In the UK, it's more of a 50/50 split. (I can't remember where I read that; otherwise, I'd provide a source link.)
