    My child is profoundly dyslexic. This kind of tool is a game-changer for him.

    UX Designer (at Google) here. I feel your pain. For any design to work, it needs to be grounded in a firm understanding of the user's behavior. I agree that design intuition is lim…

    The magic wand tool (or really any of the "modern" extraction tools in Photoshop) can't handle hair the way they claim to do in those examples. If this is truly done with non-manua…

    I realize this is a corner case, but I wonder how dyslexics will perform using a font that looks even less like a letterform — when it is already a struggle to combine several into…

    Parents buy iPod Touches for their kids, so they have a cheap wi-fi enabled gaming and entertainment device, with no monthly contracts, that fits in mom's purse. Companies buy iPod…

    Not Indian and I find this comment terribly offensive. What does race have to do with wanting to better oneself? Who cares what race the model in the photograph is?!

    This extended back to USWeb/CKS. I might still have a shirt bragging about a $300M quarter (Though if you looked at the financials,we had something like a $50M loss). It was like t…

    I don't think that's totally accurate. If you consider the popularity of adjacent technologies (games, mobile devices, entertainment), it's logical to predict that a certain techno…

    It's their boss' (aka Congress) job to set a tone where it is not a livelihood risk to "do your duty". If you're a peon, "doing your duty" is a great way to put a target on your ba…

    I think they have a ton of opportunity with a distribution platform like that. Tweets are already headlines for other products. A few expansion areas come to mind off hand: 1. Medi…
