Hey, I liked Battlestar Galactica too, but I don't want a religious nut bag running the country based on her crazy visions...
I think the main thing to get out of this article is this:
"many people have reported feelings of suicidal depression after seeing it because when they wake up the next day they realize that reality just doesn’t measure up to Pandora."
Someone make an awesome 3d Avatar video game stat! Apparently the current incarnation isn't enough and is leaving people suicidal!
Sometimes these 'Ah-Ha!' moments just don't hold water on close examination.... and every other time, doing a close Google examination will show you that someone just implemented your idea two weeks ago!
Or at least that seems to be the story of my life...
yeah that's a good start... but there still in no substitute for actually manipulating the UI with your fingers instead of a mouse and spending some time with the real device.
but hey come on, the developer program costs $99.. they really will only refund 1/2 of that cost should installing the SDK cause your iMac to blow up and kill your entire family?
I thought the best part of Android was that there is very little oversight as to what you can put out on the Android Market, making secondary markets unneeded.
Although I have had a hard time finding a decent tethering application in the Android Market.. maybe AT&T is afraid that disobey the little rules there are will be bandwidth intensive, threatening their already feeble network?
The 'great man' theory of history is ingrained into most of us in early childhood as we learn about larger than life historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Abraham Linchon, and the like (obviously I'm an American, but I imagine other nationalities have similar figures). A lot of people consider themselves 'normal', and thus not capable of great things. This is of course bullshit... While everyone may not be able to be a 'genius' as the article claims, most people are capable of a whole lot more than they think.
And designing for the iPad when you only have the simulator only makes it harder. Sure, it's a giant iPhone, i can imagine what it will be like, but I don't really have a feel for how I'd hold/use it, and the design implications that has.
