Perhaps you'd be happier going back to AOL or Hotmail?

I don't understand the negativity around change. If they never changed, people would complain that they are in a rut, that they don't innovate, etc.

Seriously? A form asking me to follow you on Twitter before showing me the demo...

This makes me wonder further. Did you see higher bounce rates when using multiple pages? If so, did the ad revenue brought in by displaying ads across multiple pages out-weigh the higher bounce rate? Honestly curious about the pros and cons.

If you found this interesting, you would probably also find Fabien's articles on writing your own framework on top of Symfony2 components interesting as well.

It it really necessary that the article be split between multiple pages. At first I wondered, "where is the comparison" until I found the drop down menu...

There seems to be a lot of complaining/negative comments from people about software that is provided to them for free...

Wordpress has shockingly bad code for how often it is used.

I feel the same way about iCloud. I know it is there and it backs up some of my data. I wouldn't be able to tell you which apps use iCloud and what data it is storing though. I don't think it is obvious enough to the end users, it is too transparent, which creates confusion and misunderstanding. I've given up on iCloud...

Both interesting and slightly depressing at the same time.

Nearly all the examples on that page seem to be distracting and not needed. I can't think of many uses where this would be overly useful or helpful to a user.

Reminds me of when we used animated GIFs everywhere and construction men explaining how the site is still under construction...

I also feel like they are much slower in terms of innovation or exciting features. They had everyone when the iPhone was first released as it blew everything out of the water. Competitors have caught up, and in a lot of ways, are starting to pass Apple in various ways.

Like the author of this post, Google apps have replaced most of the common Apple apps I use. I too am looking to switch to Android. If I do switch to Android, this means that staying with OS X and Apple hardware is far less important to me.

They really have been doing very well on iOS recently. So much so, most of the stock Apple apps have been replaced by a Google app. It is really making me think about switching to Android.

I was wondering when they return to Earth, do they ever just let go of things thinking it will float...? Out of habit I mean.

I felt the opposite. Are you ever too old to play with Lego? :-)

Time enjoyed is time not wasted.

I'm not sure it is just a naming issue. I think people are starting to get bored with the iPhone, myself included.

"Imagine an entire suite of apps with which you interact without ever opening. Imagine if app developers could send more data (images, videos) through push notifications, or even receive simple responses (“Yes” / “No”) from users without requiring users to launch the application itself."

Then what is the point of having apps? Isn't this just cramming a lot of extra bits into the notifications? I think if all apps did more and more in the notifications, people would start to say it was cluttered or difficult to use/read.

The great thing about notifications for me is they are quick and simple. If I want to do more, the application is a click away. I don't need a faux app inside the notifications panel.

I've heard others say something similar in regards to their contacts. What do you do when you are not friends with someone? Just curious as I don't use Facebook often.

This was my first thought. Facebook did a great job at making it look fantastic but in reality, my experience would probably look much different (poor quality photos, memes, spam posts, etc).

These kinds of posts (Google Reader being shutdown, how long will XYZ Google application run for) are starting to get old and redundant...

I've been wondering this ever since the rumors of Apple's watch began to circulate. Personally, I don't see the draw and have no interest in any of them.

It was literally an old looking tape deck in the podcasting application (ie: skeuomorphism).

It makes me wonder if the companies behind that online game and auction site were "sold" Wordpress by a developer/designer as a way they could easily update their website. Perhaps whoever pitched Wordpress as a solution in those cases didn't have the knowledge to build a fully functional website from the ground up without Wordpress.

As a fellow PHP developer, I can say I share the heart sinking feeling when I see "functions.php".

This is very impressive! I'd love to use this on new projects. I have some new projects coming up just around the corner. Do you have any ideas when you plan to release?

From what I see in the screenshots, this looks very impressive. I can see myself and team using a tool like this very often at work. Looking forward to hearing more about this tool in the future!

I wouldn't say the only reason pirates pirate is to avoid paying the money. I think some of it is to avoid the DRM. It makes me think of the pirate vs buying movie image. http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/piratedvd.jpg

In the end, it seems like the paying customers are often hurt the most when it comes to DRM.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your ideas but I guess I don't see the benefit of visiting Tumblr's RSS reader to read Tumblr. Why not just read from Tumblr's website at that point?

Doesn't each content provider (Digg, Reddit, Tumblr, etc) providing its own RSS reader defeat the purpose of RSS in the first place? The reason I enjoyed Reader (or any RSS reader for that matter) is the fact I didn't need to visit X number of sites to read content.
