Best Tumblr ever

Isn't this Apples job?

This service has become such a joke.

People paid for a Twitter clone and just got a confused mess of hand wavy nonsense about being a general purpose pipe for applications.

How long till it has adverts seen as every listen will cost google something.

I'd rather pay

He does in his podcast and on Twitter

He's also gone into great detail on his blog about how unsuccessful that has been and if he worked on the port himself (outside company volunteered to work on it) he wouldn't have been able to go fulltime like iOS allowed.

You don't really get a choice about lock in, however you do get to choose if you want your actions, searches, communications and location harvested to build an advertising profile or not.

> not very good developers

Probably this judging by how many years the UI ignored the GPU on that platform.

Typical Mozilla nonsense

should have been deleted on april 2nd then…

Honestly don't understand why we can't call them out on this.

> Did we actively intend for it to be reminiscent of OS X? Absolutely not

This statement is a total lie.

Bit different, the first two directly mimic how a regular file browser window looks. The OS X and ElemOS preferences don't imitate their file windows.

God MS screwed 95 up so badly.

> Did we actively intend for it to be reminiscent of OS X? Absolutely not

Sorry but this is pure BS

1998-2003 Linux invests a ton of time imitating Windows Explorer and Outlook

2013-???? Linux invests a ton of time replicating OS X and iTunes

Why can they never just innovate themselves?

love how you're hosting this on neocities, seems apt

One less reason to use Firefox

Google isn't helping me right now, but IIRC didn't Lego use to manufacture bricks for actual architects to prototype with. They were smaller than regular bricks.

Don't know why you expected anything else from an "ideas guy"

You'd expect anyone who knows how JBIG2 works would also know it should never have been used for this

"the device web user interface"

Why on earth does a scanner have a web interface

What a joke

UI is just way better than anything else out there

UI feels and IS more native than anything else out there

Performance is better than Firefox and only worse than Chrome in beta technologies and a few edge cases

Unfortunately it wont do any good because you can't buy taste

They didn't expect Draw Something to drop off so much faster than their usual games.

Probably didn't understand that Draw Something isn't even a game when you think about it, so didn't really have a competitive angle and became tiresome quickly.

Serves them right really, what on earth did they think was going to happen

Probably Digg seen as their reader missed the boat a bit

Honestly don't get why people can't just use CSS for something like this.

Talk about over-engineering

Looking forward to the open source desktop versions of this kind of tech.

A low quality article on the Gawker network? Surely not!
