Oh. Never mind. I thought you guys were serious this time.
Awesome! I signed up for the BlackBerry PlayBook dev initiative at SXSW in 2012 and found the device and QNX to be amazing. It supported a bluetooth mouse YEARS before the iPad! But BB failed to capitalize and yet another great product failed to make it into the mainstream.
Looking forward to it! Espcially now that you guys are "inside" several EVs if the rumors are true. Sign me up!
Yep. Equifax got hacked a few years ago and the Government let them use ITS credit monitoring tool for those affected instead of reaching into its own pockets to pay for a third-party solution.
Great feedback IMNSHO. But the key is CSS (cascading STYLE sheets)...
You and I are NOT designers if I may be so bold. In 1996 I was one of about 100 people on new and MAJOR website/application build. From scratch. My role: Billing Lead. As a "full stack dev" only my eCommerce insights were needed from me. It is called FOCUS.
As a StartupBus alumnus of three treks the model was brilliant: Build teams from three skill sets: Devs, Designers, and BizDevs. Focus.
I love that the examples will not be gibberish to the designers of our day.

It was Lifted in spirit from NeXTstep's Interface Builder, so it was okay. But still a pale comparison.
P.S. If you are old enough, you will remember when $MSFT tried to steal Quicktime so its video products didn't suck. They got caught because they copied the machine code. Byte by byte. #howSad
My 10 year old BlackBerry Playbook was light years ahead of the iPad in functionality with standard features like mouse support (which iPad only received a few years ago). The QNX-based OS v2.x was amazing. In fact, QNX is now used on over 200 million automobiles.
>> The programming use case died because, according to Hillell Wayne, “even most proponents of UML considered it a terrible idea.”
When Ivar Jacobson's Use Cases were added to UML it was a day to celebrate for me and many others. I still create them 30 years later with other methodologies, even ones with no direct tie to software development like Dr. Eli Goldratt's TOC (Theory of Constraints).
Does anyone besides FAAM-sized entities care what Google thinks or does?
There is a very real reason disruption matters. Can Google be disrupted? Absolutely. However, will they? I believe so. But not by playing by the same rules.
Never used it, never will.
