I bought my Nexus 5 in 2013. It's still running pretty smoothly. Every time I see an app render using the N5 frame, I chuckle. It just reiterates my thought that I made a good choi…

"The second would be to bite the bullet and tell the world what your plans are, even though it’s your decades-long tradition — a fundamental part of the company’s culture — to let …

I got through 5 years of Engineering without buying a book. Between a bunch of copies of newer versions, some of older ones, some in English (this was in a Portuguese-speaking coun…

4) Forbes "Quote of the day". Seriously Forbes, that is irritating as hell. Still, my number 1 is loading the extra content and making elements jump around. A lot of times I: 1) se…

If they approve it to be on the AppStore...

I remember Starbucks was doing it for their mobile app about two years ago, sacrificing security for a "better"/faster UX. It's one of those things that you think "No one would be …

Thought so too, but the timelines don't match, since she mentions stuff about Xmas. Still, my jaw dropped a few more cm after reading those sentences, and believe me, it was alread…

As someone who's looking for a career change, I've been reading bootcamps reviews trying to find some that would fit my short/long term goals, but I haven't found a good informatio…

Totally agree on the UX. Example: 99.8% of the openings I've seen on their job board in the past 4 months all redirect to an outside board, usually Indeed. Actually, I only remembe…

This just made my day.

I guess I'm also lucky to have the latest 6.0.1 on my Nexus 5 running smoothly. Yes, it did get a bit slower after some updates, enough for me to notice it, but considering it ship…

I worked with a Google engineer once and he offered me advice as I was considering buying a new phone, namely the HTC One: "Phone manufacturers know how to make hardware. Google kn…

Remember the U2 fiasco, when Apple decided to break into your computer and push their new album through iTunes? It seems like whenever Apple decides to take control of your files, …

My Maslow's middle layer immediately filled up when I read this. Thanks for making my Monday better.

Write a script to rhythmically open and close the curtains, as well as turn the lights on and off for the whole floor. Then call OK Go and tell them to bring a drone because you go…

This was a bit of an "existential" question for me over the past years. I've been wondering if it was just me doing something I shouldn't be doing or if Skype was really going that…

This is a great example of how to get elements from mobile design (hamburger button, left sliding menu) and adapt it to desktop, which Apple has been slowly doing in the past versi…

That's very true. Sometimes I wonder what the team behind WhatsApp does all day. They released Web and voice calling, but nothing since, and there's nothing to keep us expecting ne…

Marissa Mayer debunked this in 2013: http://www.businessinsider.com/mayer-google-20-time-does-not... "It’s funny," she said. "People have been asking me since I got here, 'When is …
