as taytus said, that's what they asked for. If they needed more, they should have asked for more.

But you can't ask for $50k, then get frustrated that's almost how much you get? You're just setting yourself up for disappointment.

I believe it was within the last few seconds. Still, if he was that close it'd of made sense to get a friend to back $100

Project gets $49,972 out of $50,000 goal. Creator says "clearly there simply isn't that much interest in building the kind of game I envisioned."

o.O;

The man was highly intelligent. Often intelligence and social skills seesaw (obviously not always.) What he did was wrong by what we know now, but I don't think it came from malice.

But if you say "Today", and it says "8th or 9th" — You immediately know it doesn't mean "Last week, and in a month." You know it's morning and it means today, or tomorrow.

Thank you! I was about to write just this.

Their support has always been average at best. Whether Steve was alive or not. Romanticising the time when Steve was around doesn't help shit.

I'm not saying scrap, I'm saying iterate. (Wrote a wee bit about it here: http://zachinglis.com/2012/why-the-apple-reshuffle-could-pro...)

Yep. I play it on my Mac through Residual.

He hits the nail on the head in the first paragraph. He bought anyway. Apple will continue to use unfair pricing because people are willing to buy it, even if they complain about it.

I'm frustrated by the fact the MacBook extra RAM/SSD is so expensive compared to manufacturing costs. But it's my only option, so I am going to have to pay it now aren't I?

I suspect it's a legal minefield and much easier said, than done.

Look what I just read: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/pixar-d%C3%AD...

Grim Fandango the movie, anyone?

Grim was amazing. Currently replaying, but Full Throttle was where it was at.

This is gorgeous.

Though, if in memory of Bob Ross, why is it named after Gogh?

iOS has barely changed in UI since it's inception. That's not a good thing. No one designs the perfect design the fist time, nor the 100th time, nor ever. The goals and targets change and the design evolves. There has been no evolvement.

Sure, there's more precise releases than it's competitors, but that doesn't negate the fact that Windows has a more functional-looking (whether or not it is, is an entirely different matter) phone.

The Notification centre was a step in the right direction, but people are wanting data quicker more and more, and the notificiations aren't great for every app. After all, a big reason people cite for going for Android is customisation.

When the iPhone was released it was the absolute leader in mobile iOS among other things. Now it's a solid competer but it lacks the originality it once had.

Except they only-sort-of match the text. Like using 'in' instead of login.

It all depends on usage. If you're using it next to text, then getting "Login Login" is annoying. If you're using icons only (which has debatable standards), then yes.

Awaesome. I use Symbolset which is similar.

One issue: in = Login icon invert = Invert icon vertical = Phone orientation

invertical = [invert icon]ical

Obviously this is an edge case issue to happen, but this is an example of a way this can seriously screw up.

Fair enough. I am talking about the people who will be reading my post. The techies, designers, etc. I can't imagine anyone from outside that will be reading the article.

I'm an organiser of Rumble. If the writers are reading this, I am sure we could try and work out more if they ever want to play with more metrics. :)

- lorem-ipsum.me (Lorem Ipsum with an API) - designblogs.heroku.com (Formerly designblo.gs) - Tons of open-source stuff on Github that isn't designed.

If you take that post at face value, it's not really going to do much. Sounds like the guy was on at them for a while.

Glad to hear that! It's not easy, but it was definitely worth it :)

He's bringing up valid points surrounded by the word rape. It's almost a Godwin's Law. He's presenting the most extreme example again and again in a post that otherwise has some validity.

Of course I disagree with rape. It's a very personal matter close to my heart for many reasons. But it is an extreme outcome of sexism, it is not the problem because of sexism nor is it the reason sexism happens.

Oh. She doesn't think it's not important nor does she think it doesn't happen. She thought it was sensationalist. She thought that Faruks comments were incredibly broad themselves. Feeling thay saying that every woman in tech fears rape every day and such were over the top.

Did I call her a girl? And as far as she's concerned, I'm allowed to call her anything I like (within reason.)

Granted, that doesn't mean I should.

One of the first comments I wrote explained I am her flat mate. I am also the original poster of this article. So that in itself shows bias. I have been very vigilante to show that I am both, and that I know both authors.

Of course.

She has had personal experience with sexism. But her argument was also that according to the original .net magazine article; every woman fears being raped all day every day. It was sensationalist.

I agree with a lot of what you have to say. She generally doesn't concern herself with posts like these but she felt the need to considering a man (I know you don't care about gender but it's important factor that a man is telling her how she feels) is saying what sexism is to EVERYONE. Name calling EVERY man on it (almost as if saying he knows better.)

Of course. But is it any less valid that she says than Faruk, a guy. He's particularly talking about sexism for women - something by his own line he can never understand or experience.

If you read his Tweets, when Laura tried to contact him on Twitter before. Anything she said was "wrong" because of evidence suggests otherwise. She literally couldn't give her personal views, because evidence denies it.

But let's be fair, you can make research say whatever you want. Especially social research. It's a very valid thing, but it should not be taken as gospel.

Read the comments on her blog too. First is from a woman, and go down.

There are people on both sides of the fence, as you'd expect. But the the original commenter was so blindsided in her views about how she thought the OP was blinded in her views, she didn't even stop to smell the irony.

Also, her employers are a MAJOR agency. They have been partners of the year for Windows Phone, their client list is both long and high-profile.

"And Laura, if you are reading this, a small bit of advice for you. Next time an article "enrages" you, re-read it and I guarantee you will see that it doesn't say what you think it does." I think you need to take your own advice.
