moeedm··on Oatly: The New Coke
Cheese, aka milk, is the leading cause of obesity in the world.
moeedm··on Unsplash is being acquired by Getty Images
That’s the business of stock photos. Unsplash managed to stick around because they provided free high quality images that were more “real” looking than stock photos. It was supported by ads, which I’m sure kept the site running but when Getty knocks on your door and offers to buy you out ... it’s hard to say no.

The cycle will continue. In its place there will be a new Unsplash which will offer the same + a bit more until it gets bought out too.

moeedm··on Making honey without bees and milk without cows
Yes, it’s possible but you can’t say the same about live feed. Cows will be cows, pigs will be pigs.

moeedm··on Making honey without bees and milk without cows
Supply chains and process can be streamlined. A herd of cows is a herd of cows.
moeedm··on Making honey without bees and milk without cows
Pray tell what "healthy relationship" we have with nature with the current status quo?

Using science and technology for good by reimagining the antiquated methods of creating stuff like milk, cheese, beef , honey, leather, etc is a good thing.

I'm vegan, btw.

moeedm··on How Target failed in Canada
Walmart. Thats how.
moeedm··on Material Design Lite Components in HTML/CSS/JS
Material Design is the new Bootstrap.
moeedm··on Google Will Launch Google Photos, a Photo Host With “Unlimited Storage”
They're not forced to, they're tempted to. And most people will. From the presentation, it looks like as soon as you take a photo it's uploaded and backed up on Google's servers.
moeedm··on Google Will Launch Google Photos, a Photo Host With “Unlimited Storage”
Well I choose what to put on the "public web". Unlimited photo storage means all your photos.
moeedm··on Google Will Launch Google Photos, a Photo Host With “Unlimited Storage”
I don't want Google's servers looking over my images and analyzing them. No thank you.
moeedm··on Apple Reports Record Second Quarter Results
I wouldn't say they are dead. The decline of the sales for iPad can be attributed to its wildly successful launch. People just hang on to their iPads a lot longer than they do their iPhones. The numbers should stabilize soon.
moeedm··on The Best of Material Design, Daily
I don't have to say much, just go and read the manifesto for Material Design. It's a lot of words that don't mean anything [1].

Another problem with it is that it's extremely trendy. Bright, almost fluorescent colors, ridiculous amounts of whitespace almost to a fault, long shadows, arbitrary grids for icons, etc.

The bigger problem is that Google decided to become smartasses about creating a new design language. They took it way too seriously and I think who this hurts the most is the developers who make apps for Android. They don't know what Material Design means -- really means, as in how Google sees it. Third party developers will never really be able to adapt it properly and what you're going to end up with is a whole new type of visual fragmentation in Android.

This look already looks dated, and I can't imagine what it will look like in a year.

Really hope this Material Design nonsense doesn't take off. It's awful (especially on the web).
moeedm··on On the Pricing of Apple Watch
Stop thinking of the Apple Watch as a technology product. It's not called iWatch for a reason. It's called Apple Watch and if you think you're going to take it to the Genius Bar to get it looked at, you're dead wrong.
moeedm··on On the Pricing of Apple Watch
For starters, it's not called "iWatch".
moeedm··on On the Pricing of Apple Watch
10 years from now Apple won't be a tech company, they will be an international luxury brand that creates products in many different areas. This is just the first step.
moeedm··on On the Pricing of Apple Watch
Jony Ive was pretty clear about why they didn't go for a round face in his interview with The New Yorker:

> Ive later tested watchbands by wearing them outside the studio with other watches. The shape of the body, meanwhile, barely changed: a rectangle with rounded corners. “When a huge part of the function is lists”—of names, or appointments—“a circle doesn’t make any sense,” Ive said.

moeedm··on On the Pricing of Apple Watch
You would take your watch to Apple and get it serviced. They'd buff it up, and swap out the S1 for an S2 and so on.
moeedm··on Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox
Safari is the best browser on OSX hands down.
moeedm··on Make coders develop Blackberry apps, says firm's boss
What are you going on about? Apple and Netflix offer a service, not a protocol that should be used by everyone. They decide which platform to support — this isn't about any protocol.
moeedm··on Make coders develop Blackberry apps, says firm's boss
Netflix and Apple don't have to open up anything if they don't want to. It's their service and ultimately they can choose which platforms to support. This is just whining from BlackBerry.
moeedm··on BlackBerry CEO Wants FCC to Make Developing BlackBerry Apps Mandatory
Hey Blackberry, how about you just make a product that doesn't suck?
moeedm··on Announcing Soylent 1.2
Food is so much more appealing when it has a version number, right?
moeedm··on Codecademy launches Reskill USA
Unfortunate domain name.
moeedm··on Amazon’s Echo Chamber
Spot on.

A lot of people have recommended a Kindle to me but I've held off. I can't get past the massive Amazon logo on it and the awful page turn.

moeedm··on Independence Day
That website sucks.
moeedm··on Apple Built A SIM Card That Lets You Switch Between AT&T, Sprint, And T-Mobile
A phone with 3 SIM card slots? You don't get Apple, do you?
moeedm··on Apple takes down another indie dev
"Apple enforces terms of agreement" isn't as bait-y is it?
moeedm··on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus not as bendy as believed
This is getting fucking ridiculous.
