I think it's a compelling and feasible solution to the news site monetization problem. It just seems difficult to imagine users flocking to something like this away from ad blockers—which improve daily (and are mostly free).
If we're going to use profit as a measuring stick for a company doing the right thing—then it seems relevant to mention the fact that Apple's stock has fallen over the last several years and has continued in that trend.
I don't personally hold the view that this directly reflects a company's innovative quality, but again if that's the measuring stick, it only seems to further the argument that Apple's design decisions aren't what they used to be.
I' a pretty visual person myself. So I find that watching a video tutorial and then immediately trying to put it into practice myself seems to be a winning combo. But of course, everyone is different and some learn more effectively with other means (reading, audio, etc.).
Yea, been there, a couple of times, but I've yet to find anything "viable" (nebulous term, I know).
Things in common between the three new-ish apps mentioned above is a sleek, simplified UI, all with the essentials when it comes to features.
I've tried a number of the ones on the page you've referenced, but most are too big a step back.
My hope is that there's a Sketch-esque InDesign type app out there that I've missed among the latest and greatest. I'm coming to believe, however, that's only wishful thinking. ;)
A big problem with this poll is that the lines between option A and B have become largely blurred in today's society.
For example: "I disagree with the President of the United States and feel his policies are harming America."
Response: "You are a racist."
Of course, the reason for disagreeing with the President has nothing to do with race, yet it's an easy way to attack and silence points with which some do not agree.
As one commenter noted, "there are no rules." Really, it comes down to rational, thinking human beings being open to an alternative point of view rather than finding every way possible to attack people on the other end of the table—whether by downvoting or crying "racism."
Yeah, it's funny, the article touches lightly on the NSA but never addresses the fact that they have practically every Email, phone call, or digital communication intercepted.
Let's add to this the increase of video and audio surveillance, and oh yes, more new gadgets like Google Glass which enable just about anyone to record a stranger on the street without a notice.
Yep, because some teens regularly delete Facebook posts, privacy is on the upswing. Makes perfect sense.
I just so happened to have been researching this today to find out why it takes seven full days as it was becoming quite the snag for the cash flow situation. I didn't personally receive this Email, but I can holy hope it's legit.
