But Samsung hasn't lost yet and IMHO it was a stupid move from Apple's part -- besides the fact that Samsung also produces chips for them, Samsung has the right patents to counter-sue; and they are doing just that. Apple also sued Nokia, but they ended up paying royalties to them anyway.

Do a little exercise -- try patenting something worthy that people may want to "copy" and then go to IBM telling them "fuck you IBM, I patented this so you can't use it". You'll give them a good laugh ;-)

And if IBM ever thought about copying the iPhone, even if it made the most faithful replica ever including naming it something like "xPhone", there's practically nothing Apple could do without effectively getting bitch-slapped.

Also, the term "copy" itself is misleading: it makes people think that new developments should be original, when clearly nothing is original or evolutionary. Everybody copies from everybody.

The patents system is terribly broken and rewording the current mess as something moral and just is really ignoring reality.
In the beginning, there was light.

On second thought, do we have to count "the beginning" as the moment of the singularity or as the time when the universe became transparent to photons? Gonna end up with a holy war over that one.

Wait, it's all good. You start out with a dark and formless void, then you get your "fiat lux" afterwards. The Bible was right again!
Well (he said somewhat flippantly), in a manner of speaking it does, if one can consider the condensation first of energy (fiat lux) then matter (the separation of the waters) out of chaos to be a pretty decent neolithic understanding of the process. (Not a believer in any sense -- I've actually used this point against 6-day creationists, realising that I was wielding a sort of double-edged sword.)

not all, but many. The problem I have with it is that I find myself mentally translating from CS to JS while trying to program in it, which seems like more effort than just programming in JS to begin with.
Was about to post the same thing. I'll be needing a colour picker for a Web app soon, but I can't use this one; a good UX pretty much demands that the controls (whether it's the thumb on the dial, or the dot in the field) immediately respond to user input, not after mouse/touch up.
These days it's daily but that comes and goes. It's like any kind of reading, way overloaded which means periodically I consciously give up or... just never get around to it. The Mark All As Read is a key function for me, so I can start fresh.
The problem is with the US patent system, not with the patent trolls.

Without addressing any of the other interesting points you raised, I have to rebut this one. I'll start by rewording the sentence to be more accurate by my judgment:

The problem is with the US patent system, and with the patent trolls.

I base my argument on the notion that ethics and morality exist independent of any legal system. Whether what the trolls are doing is legal is irrelevant; they are acting against the interests of society at large and small inventors in particular, under the guise of helping small inventors. Thus, what they are doing is unethical, and they are therefore part of the problem.

Mortality rates follow a Gompertz curve. This blog post explains it pretty well: http://gravityandlevity.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/your-body-w...

There are many suspected specific reasons for why this is (telomeres shortening, mtDNA mutations, protein cross-links, etc), but it boils down to this: accumulating damage accumulates faster as self-repair mechanisms are damaged by accumulating damage.
Exactly. I also don't agree with the author's assertion that advanced features are now no longer optional. Mom&Dad-style users are still not forced to use Mission Control just as they weren't forced to use Expose on Snow Leopard. Applications more or less behave the same way, except for saving stuff which incidentally is the one area were unsophisticated users tended to screw up immensely.

I'd argue the opposite, that it's actually advanced users who are getting handed the fuzzy end of the lollipop here. The egregious autocorrection feature, pointless fullscreen function on multiscreen setups, disempowering and potentially wasteful versioning behavior - these are things that geeks like us don't particularly like. Even with these valid nerd rage issues though I'm quite happy with Lion...

I actually read the online edition of the Times and I find it highly readable. A very enjoyable experience. I suspect this designer isn't a regular reader. News organizations are viewed as easy targets for designers trying to increase their brand by writing a sensationalist article (did we really need any more convincing after "news itself is broken"?). So don't be bitter. The good work being done at the Times is self evident.

My story is similar. I never had problems with the concepts taught in maths/physics/etc classes but always seemed to get the questions on the blackboard wrong as I just couldn't see the writing properly. I got an eye exam around the 8th grade & was diagnosed as near sighted but before then I just thought the world was blurry and that everyone saw things like that :)
"The Times misses Microsoft's strategy" - the article doesn't represent the opinion of the NY Times - it's an opinion piece. There's a disclaimer on this version of it: http://blogs.reuters.com/columns/2011/07/22/microsoft-ought-...

(Pointing this out because I used to work for a newspaper, and it was always frustrating seeing people mistake opinion pieces for the official editorial line of the paper)
> Or they would buy fewer things that they actually needed, and that would probably last longer.

Unfortunately that's a recipe for economic disaster.

> Not an idle consideration on a planet with finite resources and an ecosystem being pushed beyond its limits.

Not really. The resources are effectively infinite because they are never destroyed, they only get changed into various different forms. We can keep making things, then remaking them into different things basically forever.

And the ecosystem is not anywhere near its limits (not that making less things would help it even if it was). There are definitely areas where things are bad, but the good areas far outweigh the bad.
I think the object of the game must be to fit as much “content” onto the page as possible in an effort to overwhelm the reader, tricking them into believing that the NY Times is just bursting with a mindbogglingly-bottomless array of important information.

That's just what paper newspapers look like. I don't think that's an accident, either.
According to the letter of the contract, it sure seems that way.

I went over the contract with the HR team back in the states (I was transferred over to Oz) and they thought these clauses were very strange. Especially considering that Australian workers have much stronger labor rights in practically every other way compared to the US.

"In other words why not a mobile site.

Well, very simple. The iPhone is capable of rendering and interacting with the full page. It was the first browser to do so - it don't require a lite version. You could tap, zoom, pinch, drag and get the full depth of the page. Other browsers - like those for Nokia, RIM etc couldn't handle that."

That's your main reason for not having a mobile site?

In terms of usability, zooming in on a mobile device to click on a website designed for a desktop browser is a nightmare. Just because it can be done, doesn't mean that's the way it should be. It results in a horrible experience.

Poor excuse, poor design.
Andy's redesign is a disaster for various reasons stated by others, but this is possibly the most important and underlying reason for its failure: The existing design visually demonstrates that 'there's a lot going on here'. His does not.

He failed to communicate the good type of busyness in his re-imagining -- the redesign makes the site look like a five-articles-a-day blog.
I sound more bitter than I am. I guess I am defensive. Very it seems. I know the people in the design group at the Times and Andy writes like there is no Design group, thats its all slap-dash and easy-peasy to fix.

That fact that Andy is a design profesional makes my blood boil. Andy should know that is easy to look in from the outside, make grand statements without knowing the truth and reality of why things end up the way they do.

If this were some kid in design school I'd brush it off - but Andy co-own a design firm in TX and wrote a book called "Design Professionalism". WTF!
I saw it a couple years ago in the States, for technical and managerial jobs, and I was shocked and horrified.

> 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The Big Bang.
I was involved in a major redesign of the BBC News Website - when it went form a sigle column approach to the current two-dimensional layout.

What is interesting about Andy's designs is that he's basically taken the current thinking in 'modern' news website design (two dimensions) back to the single column layout. I think this is a fundamental flaw in his design.

People come to a news front page to see the editor's prioritization of the days news agenda. With a single column approach it is very difficult to editorially prioritize stories of similar importance. It works for blogs because they don't have an editorial prioritization as they usually sort by chronological order.

Two-dimensional layouts, like NY Times and BBC, allow for editors to give several articles (perhaps a politics story, a business story and a sport story) equal visual importance. If you have a mainstream appeal you need to be able to give different audiences something of relevance.
You shouldn't consider this as a TM failure but just as an HDD failure. You may have some very o,d Snow Leopard backed-up data (e.g. parts of the OS which are never updated) or several months old documents which have been saved once by TM and never touched again. So TM cannit be blamed for such old filesystem nodes which have been damaged by the HDD failure and not TM one. What you tried to do is to completely wipe your HDD and do a complete restore by TM. This operation should be better accomplished using a fresh carbon-copied HDD image, that ensures all data are new and safe. What you can ask to Apple engineers eventually is to add a "cold restore" operation, that is asking to do some sort of simulated restore in order to check needed data integrity only, thus preventing users to make risky operations such as the one you tried to do.

Evidence suggests that energy preceded matter -- ie that light preceded earth, heaven and water.

Look, the Bible is an anthology of twisted fairytales that's been an absolute bonanza of story fuel for the western tradition. But it's not exactly replete with reliable scientific information.
That's your main reason for not having a mobile site

No. I never said that. We do have a Mobile site. If you're not going to read the comment please state tl;dr so I can save replying and just go to bed.

I said: because the iPhone has a very very advanced browser that is more than capable of handling our Homepage we do not REDIRECT them to the Mobile site automatically. You can still go there if you like.

I am also adding: We did find that a larger chunk of users preferred the regular Homepage on their iPhones and did NOT want to go to the Mobile version.

Side note:

In terms of usability, zooming in to click on a website designed
for a desktop browser is a nightmare. Just because it can be done,
doesn't mean that's the way it should be. It results in a horrible
experience.

Agreed. It wasn't done because it could be done. You may not like this choice. However, this wasn't about what you or I or the Times wanted, this was about our readers and what they wanted.

NOTE:
I keep saying "we" as in the Times and I. I don't work there any more but the strongest force in the universes is still the force of habit. Apologies.

It is easy to create a redesign for a website. It is less easy to pivot a billion-dollar business which has the agility of an aircraft carrier while she is sinking. If your answer to that question is "What do we really need the planes for, anyway?" and "I think the conning tower would look much better in teal.", you might find a wee bit of difficulty getting taken seriously.
"Newer isn’t better. Better is better."

Sometimes it takes courage to put forward a design that doesn't have the glamour of the new. Things that work well can often be boring.

Diminishing returns. If you address some of the top causes of death, you can significantly increase lifespans. If you address some of the smaller causes, you can somewhat increase lifespans. However, in the limit you need a solution that doesn't just solve individual problems one by one. Biologically, "fixing" telomeres would probably address many of the nonspecific "died of old age" cases that we don't fully understand yet, though I doubt that alone would fix the general problem.

More importantly, we need people to care, and for some insane reason people don't. How do we manage to not treat this as pretty much the most important unsolved problem in humanity? (Mostly, I suspect, due to a combination of perceived futility and ingrained cultural problems.)
I'm actually rather fond of certain portions of Leviticus which describe diagnostic rituals.

Perhaps you are thinking of notifications, they behave as you describe. I am talking about my stream, or someone elses stream of posts, or a post as a unit. The comments ride along with all of them, in their entirety. They may be in some state of partial collapse, but they are always there.

Looking at my stream, by screen space the comments generally occupy about 1/3 as much real estate as the parent post. On posts I've never interacted with.

This is by design obviously -- and when the comments are good, its great. When the comments are bad, its bad. Time will tell whether G+ ends up with the type of community that can support this very in your face community intensive model.

Whichever entities are behind these conjectured assasinations (criminal gangs or the government) and whatever purpose they fulfill (retaliation or attempts to take control of the fortunes), this environment is certainly not favorable to healthy economic development of China.

It reminds me of a point that someone was making about competition on the worldwide market from Russian companies: because their government has a history of wanting to take control of successful companies, they eventually interfere so much with their business, or they end up running them so badly, that foreigners need not worry from Russian competition.

Edit: so the source article appears to be talking about people with 100M+ yuan, or 15M dollars. There are 60k Chinese with 100M+ yuan. Source: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2011-04/13/content_123144...

How does the "lots of workouts" work out for you?

I tend to find that the more types of workouts I include, the harder it is to make a routine. So it's easier for me to pick a small set of exercises (pushups, pullups, dips, lunges, squats, etc) and do them repeatedly rather than trying to switch up workouts.

Could just be me though...
definitely working better than giving up search and handing over keys of the biggest money making opportunity on the internet to the competitior.

Editorials and blogs are the same thing. They are opinion pieces, they are not news, they are bias, and often have an agenda. Sometimes they are satire. That isn't news its entertainment.

From a purist point of view the news should be factual and impartial. Editorials fail to impartial most of the time.

You have to choose what side of the fence you sit on, are you the BBC or are you Fox News? are you news or entertainment?

I support editorials because they are usually done by journalists who love there craft and do so on there own time, brings job satisfaction to staff.

It also helps pay for the craft to continue. I'm not so hot on celebrity bloggers though, thats just cheap money grabbing most of the time that can devalue the brand. Subject matter experts like sports stars I'll support, but bringing in some TV star to comment fashion is a joke.

But it works, and you have to take the bad with the good.

And most importantly because I think person X is a moronic jerk doesn't make me correct. It causes debate which is good, a long as debate isn't distraction. Which often happens.

My results are always best when I design three complete body workouts, then alternate them every three weeks. I find that this keeps my routines feeling fresh (since I never do a single one for more than three weeks). And most importantly, it helps motivate me when I come back to a routine (after six weeks on other routines) and discover that I am stronger!

My point still stands. Just because Apple give you the choice to pinch and zoom doesn't mean that's the way it should be.

The fact you already have a mobile site but choose not to put it to its full use baffles me even further.
