Agreed with all of the above points. Beautiful and easy to use.
The "You're doing great! To continue, you'll need to register or sign in. Otherwise all that awesome progress you've made will be lost. Sign In\Register (it's free)" dialog is most definitely a road block as there were no links available to go back to the home page.
Only two options were sign in or register. So yeah, there should be a cancel, or return to homepage
Haven't felt like this, but as sp332 says "Programming is a big field". I would broaden that even further to I.T. Is a big field.
Why not think about such sub-categories such as DBA, Analysis/Reporting/Sharepoint Services developer, or even pre-sales roles. These involve some coding but a lot of customer interaction, giving advice/ideas, designing solutions and improving the customers business.
My interpretation of this "slight" is that Warren Buffett uses money as a measure of success. It does not imply any sort of lifestyle just that he strives to be more successful and that means having more dollars. After having read a biography on Mr. Buffett I agree with OP on this and disagree that it is "unmerited and undeserved"
An 11+ minute demo video? IMO it's a tad long, should be between 1-3 mins.
Also, perhaps the screenshots need captions explaining what they are? E.g. what's with the one of the faded out garden and the highlighted flower bush. I don't get its significance or what it is trying to show.
Then again I'm not your target market. Otherwise nice work.
Being from New Zealand the first thing I look for on e-commerce sites is the currency of the quoted price and the availability (and charges if applicable) of international shipping.
I could find neither on your site.
Apart from that it's a great site and lots of fun designing different shirts. Hopefully I can buy something from you in the future :)
I'm from one of those countries where 'color' is spelt 'colour' and I'm glad to see www.colour.com is owned by them also. I doubt it cost as much though.
It would also be interesting to see if searching for 'colour' in the respective app stores also brings you to 'color' so that they are truly interchangeable
Not in itself. The interesting bit would be playing with different UI's and testing backwards compatibility of settings and apps. Such as the OP video does between upgrades.
I wouldn't mind seeing the same video idea with Ubuntu. Somehow I don't think it will be long before a copycat does this :)
Start with specification requirements, what CPU (power consumption, speed), mobo (size, features, weight), memory (size, speed), screen (resolution, toughness, size), etc.
Once you have a list of constraints (not necessarily specific, but bounded), think about how these will work as shock-proof, water-proof. Will it just be the case that is shock/water proof or will the components be as well.
The screen is probably the hardest bit to make rugged since being a tablet it will probably be a reasonable size and therefore easy to crack/scratch/break. So a large amount of focus should go here.
My personal photos. Always the first thing to be backed up and always the first thing to save in a disaster.
Either I can use the time-capsule as a safe backup and come back to it in 60 years. Or someone else will find it in another time (far distant future) and it will be an important archeological find. Oh to be immortal.
I disagree. A high PE ratio in general is not a direct expression of my 'insight' in general. However in this case it probably is. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't looked at ARM's figures previously.
I guess I was 'overplaying', although I still think that the average Joe Blogg would be yet to realize the 'edge', hence it would still be an advantage making ARMH more of a very light gray horse.
I agree that the pro's trading ARM will have already figured out its significance ... however (based on no evidence what-so-ever) there is surely many more people that haven't figured this link out. When/If ARM hits the spotlight in years to come, multitudes of people will be there to bull rush the price. And the people who figured the link out early will benefit.
Knowing that an iPhone has an ARM chip does constitute an edge. Not an edge against everybody, but an edge against most.
These would be pretty cool with a few extra features. Say flashing in time with music or sound as you are speaking. Or wirelessly connected so that they sink and can act out 'symphonies' of light displays. Great for advertising!
Reminds me of Terry Goodkinds 'Wizards First Rule'
"Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true."
Although the wording from the book is quite strong, essentially 'people are more likely to believe things if they want them to be true, or if they are afraid of them being true'.
So far I have found it an important and practical lesson for many situations.
disappointingly there is still a bit of lag in there. Though I'm sure that can be improved in time. It would be interesting to see him swing the stick around faster, see if the rendering can keep up an still track the stick when it is a blur.
I agree. Balance is key here. A bit of DRY to keep things tidy and a bit of copy/paste to get things moving and working as quick as possible.
The company I work for has been very much anti-DRY. They copy and paste pretty much everything and have quickly brought a working product to the table. Funnily enough the code base is HUGE. Me, however, new to the company and fresh out of University have been fighting the good fight and trying to introduce DRY. However this slows down development as I refactor, and can sometimes break existing stuff while merging two inconsistent branches.
So I have learnt to pick my battles. There is a balance. Don't fix what ain't broke and if copy/paste will get things moving along, do not hesitate.
