A bunch of big brands have them already, like http://www.facebook.com/nike and http://www.facebook.com/cocacola . They do have a lower information density, but I think the old page…

This is real pretty. I love the stacked paper visual analogy of the 'focused' view in a project, it's so instantly visually apparent what's going on. I wonder how many trends this …

No, and thank you, that's totally cool. It kind of illustrates the value of having an extension that does this with omnibox queries. Without the 'blind test' aspect, obviously.

It's really tough to switch search engines when Google's results are so good the majority of the time. The crux of the problem is that you have to choose. It's more arduous to navi…

Wolfram Alpha's is pretty too: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%09sqrt%28cos%28x%29%29...

I like timelapses like these, because often, finished work can appear obvious to people who aren't designers. They can't imagine that it would take several hours to complete someth…

Oh, absolutely, in the present and for the immediate future. But the not so distant future, like five or ten years out? Do you think the lead in terms of design and marketing is le…

It's hard to look at stuff like this and think that western companies have much of a future in China.

I think that's an overly reductive assessment to say 'mobile phones and banner ads.' Mobile computers are extremely sophisticated communication tools and platforms—stuff that used …

Uxbekistan and—in the South Pacific—R'Iyeh, fictional city in Lovecraft where Cthulhu is held prisoner.

For many people, high intensity/high contrast also causes eyestrain. There's nothing wrong or unreadable about medium contrast text, despite what the somewhat triumphalist contrast…

> For all I know, my Motorola may have been made there as well. Yes, Foxconn makes Motorola phones too. Farley admits the obvious: that making it about Jobs and Apple sells more ti…

I don't know if I can answer your question, but I could maybe clarify what I think are a few misconceptions. The first misconception is that artists are generally opposed to new re…

You can still do that if your news feed is set to show "Recent Stories" and not "Top Stories". The mini sidebar is mostly stuff that hasn't been in the news feed for years, like wh…

> What is the usefulness of this information? My guess is that it's there for the sizable population of facebook users who check it compulsively. For a lot of people, the appearanc…

That's cool. I use many different means to communicate too, mostly for work. But my friends and family members? For personal messages, like stuff that really matters, they send mes…

I think it's a great idea. Don't most people you know use facebook instead of email for personal correspondence?

It looks to me like it's going to improve the experience by making the experience more like facebook's messaging app. Most of my friends send messages via facebook rather than thro…

Beautiful and functional. There are things to nitpick of course, but this is light years ahead of the old blogger. It's nice to see Google making a concerted effort to elevate the …

It's a brilliant strategy, and I'd be very surprised if it doesn't lead to some antitrust litigation.

I'll bet at least some of the difference in facebook search traffic is offset by the rise in popularity of mobile devices. Most people with mobile devices have an app to go to and …

It's at around 50:20.

For the ability to watch them on demand, rather than via DVD through the mail. Netflix streaming is increasingly not available for popular new releases. This is like the Google equ…
