Thanks for the detailed response, and like a good UI junkie you are into the emotional aspects of the user experience. I think the ambient data of the tiles is so seductive. I love that the OS and Apps feel merged- I'm sure that has slowed development for third parties too, but it does sound great.

The animation sounds very tight, which is something lacking that really frustrates me on Android.

Good call on instagram too, its a great social network for visual folk- and probably one of the few apps on the phone that I really love. Seems like it would do well on WP.

My question around the wifi is just because I have heard that it doesn't work as well as the iDevices, but as a heavy user it seems like you have't seen that.

Thanks again for the detail.
Does not the USB keys contain hardware identifications ? They could trace who purchased it or which store sold it and when ?
If you're highlighting the quality of, or a specific feature of your smartphone's camera, the advertising brief should have at the very top:

"You will use the product (Nokia Lumia 920 Pureview) to shoot example clips. No other cameras are to be used as a stand-in for the cellphone."

You're insanely incompetent if you can't let your creative agency know this.

Your creative agency is insanely stupid if they think it's okay to pass footage from another camera off as from the product being advertised.
It's a rather self-defeating view of the 4th Amendment that suggests that, because the government could easily gain access to a piece of data, that data must therefore not be private. The government can easily get access to most data.

Good thing I never said that then!

I said we shouldn't write laws that defy physics. Judges should not write laws that say people hold their phones on their persons at all times when we know that not to be the case. Judges should not write laws that text messages are to be considered private when all of us know that the next person we hand our phone to can trivially (without government equipment) read our messages.

High margin, incompatible products are really good business. Apple knows it, and that's why they've been developing incompatible plugs, computers, printers, and software since its existence. They thrive on being incompatible with the rest of the computer and technology industry -- this philosophy was hardwired into Apple's DNA by Steve Jobs right from the beginning.
I installed Nanny for Google Chrome and leave it enabled during the work day, blocking Facebook, HN, Amazon.com, and my other vices. It helped me to break the "Facebook habit" that we're all familiar with. Sure, I check in every once in a while, but not as habitually as I once did.

Much like others have said, when people sign up for content giving them content isn't spammy. Do include an unsubscribe link. Also include a subscribe link, include content worth forwarding, and sell more books.

Edited to add: Might want to have a "just tell me when the book is ready, no more o' these" just in case. But really, if people aren't interested in content similar to what's in the book, why are they buying the book?
And, you know, telling people what to do. Right there. In your title. How do words work?

Great question. I thought about it this afternoon, and I'm not sure what would cause me to change my mind about this... That seems like a red flag that I'm not being open minded enough about it.

Anyway, thanks for the thought provoking question.
If artists couldn't make money on selling people (the right to listen to "their") songs, would they abandon their artistry?

Is it a sense of entitlement? or is it a rejection of the monetization of culture?

How is this different from fast food ads with plastic burgers and salads? Or car ads with custom rigs. Or cleaning product ads that compare brand X vs Y? It is pretty much a given that making ads requires a certain amount of theatrics. The goal is to show how the potential features make your life better, not rigorous proof of actual usage.

I don't think it is. "Responsiveness" in this article's context is about how responsive the page is, as in how fast it renders and shown to the user.

"Responsive design", OTOH, is about a page that adapats to the user's screen resolution; eg: renders differently on 480x320 vs 1024x768, on the same code base. HTH.
This is ridiculously unusable.

Or worse than never going, you'll keep going, but you'll always just do whatever you feel like and never push yourself. Then years down the track you've made no progress, but poured countless hours into the habit.

It's probably not going to work if your strategy is to only do easy things, or only do really hard things. I suspect that the answer lies somewhere in the middle, as it often does, and as ever there is no way to summarise that as a simple and absolute rule, you just have to use your own judgement and self-knowledge to guide you.

People who seek these kind of easy answers are already in a quagmire. The most debilitating belief is the one that there's a perfect, general answer out there that you just have to find.
I think there's a difference when they use it as a selling point like this optical image stabilization feature. McDonalds food ads for example still use the same raw ingredients but go to extreme lengths to get the presentation nice.
Many states make it impractical to buy a car from a private seller due to "safety inspection" laws. In Maryland for example you can't get plates for your car until it has been inspected by an authorized inspection location which just happen to be car repair shops and auto dealers who have an interest in selling you repair services and new cars. Used cars you buy from a dealer come already inspected. It's basically a huge racket to make sure you don't buy a car from any place except a car dealer.
I think the criticism is all too negative. If you click instructions it says the app is pre-beta. I like these compiler in your browser walk through tutorials. Just wanted to say I think this has potential.
It might be an incentive to pass fewer laws, or ones that aren't so long.
So if I hack into your network and steal your source code and release a product of my own based on that code you're cool with that, right?
From the article: "I experienced minimal complications when using Safari on both the iPhone and iPad"

minimal complications is a euphemism for "Any normal user would throw the thing against the wall in frustration."

To me this is just further demonstration of the failure of HTML5 on mobile. It's been, what, 4 years we've been in the "HTML5 will save us all" hype bubble?

Don't get me wrong; I am building a webapp and aspects of HTML5 have made my life far easier than if I were still in 2008. If I had hair I'd still be pulling it out due to the complexities of CSS (even with things like LESS) and subtle browser differences would turn the rest of it gray. But the current state of HTML+CSS+JS on the desktop is pretty good; compared.

We appear to be years away from a similar state in mobile. Between Safari's problems with no JIT support within apps and the fragmentation of Android, coupled with the monstrosity known as IE on WP7 (and WP8 and Win8), it is just not possible to use "HTML5" to build a great mobile experience (and reach a large audience).

My history in working with the W3C (I worked on HTML 3.2 and 4), and my understanding of the asymetric competitive nature of the major players (Apple, Google, Microsoft) makes me believe this situation is not going to radically improve anytime soon.

The upside is dev tool vendors who can help ease the pain should do pretty well (e.g. things like Xamarin (C#) and MoSync (C/C++/JavaScript))...
I believe in food ads, the food itself has to be edible
I've come to use the following command so often that I've written a script for it in my ~/bin - 'narrow':

#!/bin/bash
xargs -n 1 grep -l "$@"

This takes a list of files on stdin, then greps for the argument in all the files and spits out the matching files.

The perk is that it can be chained:

find *.txt | narrow dog | narrow cat | narrow rabbit

This will find all the files that contain dog, cat, and rabbit.
Yep. My money is on Xamarin. There's a huge opportunity for somebody to make native app development less painful and they seem to be the only player with the experience and talent and tech to make this happen.

Ask HN: your favorite high-risk high-return investment in a new skill
I have been a Vim user for over 10 years now. Thanks to Vim's extreme steep learning curve, I've tried and given up many many times along the way, but I am lucky to have eventually forced myself to stick to it. It has been one of the best things I've done to myself. I'd like to know what other tools or languages or techniques or philosophies fellow HNers have found to have a similar high-risk and high-return profile.
Increasing the Clickable Area of Inline Links
I would say the single most important rule that we ever put in place for our team which is completly distributed is that everything goes in the ticket system. No matter how small if it requires work, it goes into the ticket system. This ensures that there is a ticket out there that is being tracked, the project cannot be considered complete until all tickets are either dealt with or backlogged. Having a process built around a ticket system is instrumental to a process where things don't fall off the radar. A good deal of the ticket systems like JIRA integrate with the major IDE's, and most source control repositories can be configured to require a commit note. Many of the plugins integrate with source control to update the ticket at the same time you commit. Further some will even branch and merge just by clicking on a ticket and setting it's state to open. The point being with a little modeling of your process you can implement defect and feature tracking in a way that works with the natural flow of development. Doing so will patch a lot of the areas where information is leaking and not being captured.

At where I live car dealership only sells used car. If you want to buy a new car, you go to the manufacturer's dealership. Almost all of them are 3S shop: Sales, Service, Sparepart.

Allowing the manufacturer to sell their own cars works really well here.

Fast food ads do not use plastic food, at least in the US. Yes, it is carefully styled, but it is real food.
> To me this is just further demonstration of the failure of HTML5 on mobile. It's been, what, 4 years we've been in the "HTML5 will save us all" hype bubble?

Everyone is moving away from HTML5 (Facebook, etc.). Grooveshark is only moving toward HTML5 because what they do is fundamentally illegal and the app stores have shut them out.
My startup is focused on building habits and we've found that doing one thing daily is extremely effective. In terms of forcing yourself, we decided to use peer pressure. The user chooses a few people that we can notify if the user doesn't do their daily step. These people then reply back with positive advice/feedback to the user if the user fails to do their daily step.

I created a custom goal called "Do 10 Pushups a Day" and it's been pretty good at making me actually do the pushups.

We launched recently and we'd love to hear your feedback. Link: http://www.goalhawk.com
1) Setup free Bitcoin mixer service where people can "launder" their own Bitcoins for improved anonymity (Hint: those services already exist)

2) Feed your stolen coins into the service and make sure that the rate of this isn't too high

3) Profit (if someone asks you have the perfect excuse)

And in case you argue "using money from such a mixer service is suspicious": It doesn't have to be a mixer service. Use one of the numerous Bitcoin casinos. With the right games you can expect to win around 90% or more of the money that you've invested. And if you're lucky the coins that you get from the casino are different than the ones you paid them.

If things are getting lost then:

1. During scrum take notes for everyone while they are speaking.

2. End of the call send out an email to all with Minutes of meeting(which could just be what you noted above or shorter version).

3. Next day/scrum start from the last meeting's note and see if pending issues were worked on or missed(if missed highlight them right away).

4. Use a tool like JIRA/Confluence/Trello or XPlanner to organise teams/tasks/stories and assign tickets for every outstanding issue/task(Do not hesitate even if it is a 2 minute task).

5. Circulate weekly progress to everyone so that everyone knows where the team stands.Tool like xplanner are very good in providing charts/graphs from the data you enter everyday.

Good luck !

There's another option, which is to keep writing articles like these. By convincing many more people that the "curated walled garden" Apple has built is shiny, clean, and lifeless, they'll have even more of an impact. Maybe Apple will respond to this pressure and fix the problem. Quality control is great - but a sterile Disney channel experience is not what a lot of people want.
Your example: the next person we hand our phone to. Describes deliberate, consensual, sharing with intent etc. This is weak. And beside the point. Its irrelevant. Also: (1) Telecommunications networks are closed networks. They are not "broadcast media". On mobile, they are encrypted. That's why there are warrants required. There is an inbuilt expectation of privacy. SMS transmit in the header information of private lines. This isn't really a debating point. (2) Judges should not write laws... They don't. Democratically eleceted legislators pass laws, that are signed by a similarly elected executive. Subject to constraints of the constitution, and judicial review &tc.

Chrome for Android unfortunately has a major bug which makes HTML5 audio impractical. It stops the audio when you turn off the screen, change tabs, or change from the browser to another app.

It makes me weep a little for the web when browsers cripple HTML5 like this; there's enough intrinsic downsides of running apps inside a browser (e.g. no app store, no presence on homescreen, no background processing) without having to worry about things that should work but don't.

I filed the bug here in case anyone wants to star it (someone mentioned Grooveshark just today in fact):
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=121898

Ironically, Chrome for iOS behaves correctly, because it's running on the same engine as Mobile Safari, which gets HTML5 audio right.
I can't see Tesla having that problem.
This seems a bit unnecessary, there are elegant solutions already being built into mobile browsers which is by far the best place to address issues like this.

Do Me A Favor So You'll Like Me: The Reverse Psychology of Likeability
Yes, how can it be Nokia's fault. They hire an advertising company, which of course they have absolutely no control over.

Except they do. They can dictate whatever they want to the ad company, and they have to do it. You know why? Because Nokia is paying the fucking bills.

This is a disgraceful fake.
That's true, except it's false.
When the first human genome was sequenced many people thought that all the hard work had been done. Most people thought that the genetic code, perhaps like computer code, was well organized and well laid out. But organization arises in complex systems that are designed by intelligent beings, namely ourselves. The genetic code, shaped by the slow process of evolution, is not organized. It is like a tangled mess of spaghetti code. When scientist announced that there were only 25 000 genes in the human genome, they had identified only the most organized parts of the genome, comprising a mere 1% of our DNA. Determining what the remaining 99% of the genome does will be challenging because there appear to be few organizing principles to the DNA's layout to make research easier.

The problems not so much UTF-8 vs UTF-16 as the fact that there is so much software out there that can't handle unicode codepoints outside the BMP.

For example: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/3727

Another example is MySQL. utf8 won't work; you've got to use utf8mb4 instead. (OT, but won't this be a problem again if and when we get unicode characters that are 5 bytes in UTF-8?)
So, Grooveshark keeps getting sued by all four major record labels, their native apps are banned from both the iOS and Android app stores, and we're sitting here talking about HTML5. Probably the worst case study ever for mobile strategy.

Chromium maybe. I'm not sure there are any Chromebooks based on ARM yet although there seems to be a profile for building tegra2 devices. I know the Trimslice is supposed to be able to run it but I haven't actually seen a software release of Google Chrome for it. Hexxeh does seem to be working on it for the Pi but I haven't used the Pi so I can't say (I personally need a little more power than armv6 has)

McDonald's Canada (Quebec?) posted a video a while back that showed exactly how they turn the same raw ingredients for a burger into the one you see on TV.

Nokia didn't have to run the ad. They are responsible for what their ads say. And if they tried to push that video as coming from their camera, they are at fault. Nokia can probably be expecting a big fine over this.

I didn't take it as a joke based on his phrasing of all the other criticisms of the site. Perhaps I over reacted, but immediately jumping on it being a scam because the site isn't pretty enough (and isn't ready to actually take orders) seems rather odd to me. Perhaps because I work with ARM devices all day I'm just used to sites that look like that and it doesn't scream scam to me.
