He spends most of the article telling us that skeuomorphs are bad giving the example of calendar app that looks like a desk calendar and then finishes by praising an app with a screen that skeuomorphically flips up just like a wall-calendar.
> Compared with uninfected men, males who had the parasite were more introverted, suspicious, oblivious to other people’s opinions of them, and inclined to disregard rules. Infected women, on the other hand, presented in exactly the opposite way: they were more outgoing, trusting, image-conscious, and rule-abiding than uninfected women.

This reminds me of a lot of cat-people I know. But that might just be selective recall.
Something can be both a compliment and sexist. Especially if it's a compliment that has a lot of baggage and assumptions.

There is a history women only being viewed as good for marriage and babies. It used to be seen as unusual & unnatural for a woman to not want babies and marriage. It was seen as weird for a woman to want to focus on carrer rather than marriage. Also they were viewed as "nice to look at, but unable to do any real work". Things have gotten a lot better, but there are still bits of this attitude around.

If you compliment a woman based on (a) getting married and
(b) physical attractiveness, you are slightly re-inforcing that meme. You are also signaling that you might be the sort of person who thinks the above, or that you support the above attitudes.

Yup, that basically sums up how patent trolling works. Threaten with a government backed court order for unknown millions. Offer a special deal worth hundreds of thousands to take away that threat.

Public corporations tend to go with option 2 even though they know 75% of it is bullshit. They have to list any outstanding lawsuits as liabilities every quarter. Investors ask lots of questions about these liabilities. Expenses are cheaper than liabilities so it's better to turn those liabilities into relatively, small expenses than potentially large liabilities.

Small private companies also go for option 2. Cheaper to pay them off than be billed $200/hour for a lawyer and the court fees.
Clearly that's a judgement call on both our parts and neither of us is going to convince each other to think otherwise.

As an anecdote though, I was walking down Oxford St this morning and passed by a mobile phone shop that had two large displays in the window, one for a large black touch screen phone and one for an otherwise identical white version. As my eye passed over them my brain registered 'iPhone' since that is what they looked like. It was only when I looked a little closer I saw the Samsung text under the display.

This is clearly what concerns Apple execs, not merely rounded rectangles.
If you compliment someone's attractiveness, you might be implying that they got to where they are due to their looks, which implies that they do not have the skills to get there themselves and that they are slightly dishonest.

Women used to only been seen as good for menial jobs and as eye candy unable to do real work but kept around for the menfolk to look at. By calling someone sexy you are reinforcing this old view, or implying that you might hold that view yourself.

The problem is some governments would be perfectly happy with that. In fact for the most repressive ones it's long term goal.

China wants to create a separate internet for Chinese users and they're half way there. They have their own local censored versions of Google, Twitter and Facebook. Soon most internet users in China won't care if the rest of the internet disappears. Likewise for Iran, except they have been more open about it [1].

The difference (at least as I understood it) is that that app isn't a wall calendar and chose that approach because they believed it was the best design, not because they wanted to mimic a wall calendar. Most designers of calendar and calculator software set out to design something as close to a paper calendar or desktop calculator as possible without necessarily asking if it was the best possible design.

Or in summary Mimicking because it is good design that fits what you're trying to do is good, mimicking simply for the sake mimicking is bad.

Ah, Alan Moore. I love the man.

Here's a lovely interview with him, from "Mythmakers and Lawbreakers", a work on anarchist fiction writers:

Some of the interviews are better than others, but the Ursula K. Le Guin and Alan Moore ones really stood out for me.
Code that you compiled on a machine 10 years ago is rather unlikely to still run on whatever machine you're using now. That's the way things go. Still, this is CSS's problem, not Compass's. If CSS had better abstraction abilities built in, then you could point your page to a reference set of abstractions that could be updated as browsers improve.
I'm a man. Personally I'd love to be judged by my sexy appearance, unfortunately I'm not sexy.

Also I don't get this line of thought. Many women (and men, but we are talking about women) love it when noticed for their appearance, that's why they dress well, that's why they put makeup on, that's why they color their hair and so on.

I like you because you're attractive, not because you deserve it

Couldn't it be both?

And come on, at least the man's honest about it ... liking someone for their appearance and not saying it is a lot worse. If you're pretending that looks doesn't matter everywhere, then you must also believe in fairy tales (and I know that a lot of us, including me, believed in such meritocracy at some point).

And sorry, but I view these discussions themselves as sexists.

That's a good point, but it's important to remember that a lot of insults can carry baggage. Especially if you're a straight, white, cisgendered, upper/middle class male. (or whatever the formerly priviliged group in your area). So you might think "Oh I insulted Joe about his looks and Wendy about her looks, so it's all equal", but Joe might have never been judged as much on his looks as Wendy, so one joke might sting more.

I suppose it's like all jokes. You have to make sure not to say something too cutting to the audience.

3. It's okay to make a small personal comment. It establishes rapport.

Not all personal comments are OK.
I have to wonder when I keep hearing about these cases: if you have say a 50% chance of a favorable ruling on some absurd patent, and the upside is billions of dollars in shakedown payments, backed by the authority of the judicial system, how much would a disreputable company be willing to spend on the chance of getting such a ruling? How many other companies, seeing such rulings, would try to get their own? How many cases would they bring on the chance of getting the ruling? I ask somewhat rhetorically, but of course I'm suggesting by asking the answer is "a lot" and also suspecting that there do exist people that will prop up shell companies that bring case after case after case until they get rulings that enable them to legally blackmail others.
So you've got a list of ideologically significant incidentals, and any reference to them is, necessarily and always, Thought Crime. If you want to damage your brain that way it's your business but don't expect me to do the same.

"But if we judge women based on sexual reasons then that will drive women away." WOW I DID NOT KNOW THAT. Listen, sanctimonious repetition of platitudes does not constitute an argument that any particular incident is a platitude violation.
The majority of sexism is suffered by women at the hands of men.

There's no point in arguing false dichotomies where everyone agrees or not.
We had decentralized web standards in the past, with browser vendors implementing new markup features on their (and, to a lesser extent, their users') whims rather than marching in lockstep with some "central governance" - the First Browser War, where Microsoft and Netscape were slinging it out for market dominance, adding new features as quickly as possible to gain more users and simultaneously create a captive market by way of incompatible markup. Yes, this gave us Javascript (if I understand my history correctly), but it also gave us such abominations as the "marquee" and "blink" tags, and no one who worked through those times as a web developer looks back on them fondly.

I am not saying the current situation is ideal, but it is better by leaps and bounds than what it used to be, and what you are proposing.

This is article's premise is weird on so many accounts..

It's "crippling innovation"...what!? Retro design isn't an institution, or a person, or even a "thing". It's a concept that designers take in order to progress towards a more usable interface.

You know what "cripples" innovation - massive design changes that happen in extended batch schedules. Technically this doesn't cripple innovation, it simply decreases innovative adoption and user acceptance.
I use that language/framework to create something. For me I don't retain information from reading a reference manual cover to cover.

I really don't see why in this case. They aren't actually arbitraging ad space that Dropbox would be in otherwise. If anything, it's Google that is getting fleeced $50 a pop. But really, Dropbox is getting cheap advertising for the low cost of hard drive space, Google is getting fresh-faced hackers to try their cash cow product, aforementioned hackers get larger folders, and people looking for Dropbox find Dropbox, so really it's win-win-win-win all around.
A lot of the time it's because the implementations haven't even been agreed between the different browsers.

What Programmers Want VS What Companies Offer
Power of the internet my friend

Come on, is that really a helpful comment? It's not like he posted his project on the "non-internet" Kickstarter and that's why it's doing poorly.

I would imagine Kickstarter success comes with fame and marketing. If you're famous, all it takes is a tweet. If not, you'll have to work hard at getting the word out and hope that maybe someone else famous will take notice.
I recently had a problem with a cross domain AJAX call to a third party web service which requires a JSESSIONID cookie to be present in each request for session management.

On the face of it, CORS supports this by setting withCredentials: true on the XHR object being sent over the wire. But as I was building a PhoneGap app, the files were being loaded using the file:// protocol, which has the side-effect of setting the Origin header to null whenever you make an AJAX call. According to the CORS spec, when using withCredentials, you must set the response header Access-Control-Allow-Origin on the server to something _other_ than the wildcard *. In this case, it would need to be my Origin. But since my Origin was null, I was stuffed, and I don't think that what I was trying to do, could be done.

Do you think EasyXDM might help here?

Agreed, but here's something he's missing. That voucher code is one use, per person, per life (they do send extra vouchers out every year or two though). He could have used it for his own project, which may have led to a greater financial reward.

Instead, he's effectively "paid" ~$50 for 3GB of cloud space, for life. Which, on a shared server, would come to cents a year.

Plus, the value of that 3GB is going to decrease over time, as other competing services appear, and file sizes get larger.

All in all, I say he's got a bad deal here. It wasn't "free money" as many are reading.
I think that's exactly the point. People want to buy stuff from whoever they like. This is the same as the Louis CK show. I like these guys, they're releasing something new, I'll pay (and wait for it if needed).

Whether or not this would work for indie/unknown developers is a whole other story, I think. The main point is direct funding.
Most of the comments are somewhat negative. People should look at this like we're at the beginning of WWI and planes are just starting to be used for warfare. Things will evolve rapidly because the DoD has a lot of money. Within a decade the drone fleet will evolve a couple of more generations.

If we could find some consumer uses for robotics, the tech will evolve even faster.

At the end of the day, it's about finding the money to pay for the advances.
I'd imagine that in principle, any wireless communication with simple technology and therefore little infrastructure is still more robust than complex, wired technology with high infrastructure needs.
