I'd love to hear more about how you built this. How does it pull news videos?

For a better watching experience, here is is on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/29865018

For some reason I think the author is being overly wordy. The point if I understand it, is that Apple is once again moving OSX towards iOS by switching from a strict folder based filesystem to an App structured file system (from the user's point of view). This allows people to find content and files more easily because they will always be where they left them. In the app that uses them.

This is super interesting to me as an Industrial design student masquerading as a Web designer. Unfortunately I am on the East Coast, but if there is any way I can help with this idea let me know.

Exciting! I'm glad you are trying to start something up. Maybe a more dedicated site would foster a stronger community later down the line. Are there any existing places that do this?

The video should start @ 3:00 exactly. It's a great pitch and gets me interested, THEN I'll listen to why you're building it, not the other way around.

"I've been inspired to build exactly the service that I want manifested. And that service is called App.net and this video is announcing this project... what is actually is is a real time feed and API, and rather than being a free and add supported service with no clear business model, we are actually going to be paid, and the reason I am so optimistic with a paid opportunity is that it aligns the incentives... etc. etc"

The video is kind of odd, Seems like an excuse to get some crazy camera shots of the musicians. Doesn't really help sell the app at all, I would much rather have watched a shorter, more to the point promo video.

Other than that, the app looks nice!

Hello fellow waldorf student in the wild! Remember that most waldorf schools in the country DO grade in highschool. However it is process that allows for more feedback and conversation about your performance.

I think it would be even more awesome if the tweet button was even more inline with the text, almost like a citation link in wikipedia, except you could make it an actual twitter bird character!

If this is true, how were people not walking out?

“The IT business is one of the last frontiers that manages to keep women out. The quota of women to men in your business is sound and healthy” he says. “What are you actually doing here?” he adds to the few women who are actually present in the room.

Are you kidding me?

A bit over the top. I have hope that his being away from the internet will force him to report of the personalities of tech by talking face to face or over the phone. I think in depth personal stories and interviews of tech founders/engineers/designers etc. are fascinating. It's a great opportunity for The Verge to set itself miles apart from the competition.

It's pretty simple, Apple usually uses a one name paradigm for their devices and does not distinguish version numbers, the MacBook has always been a Macbook but has changed a lot over the years. Not sure all of this analysis is necessary.

He also did early concept work for Blade Runner. Syd Mead talks about his small influence in the early designs.

Where exactly can you watch (as a sport) two algorithms running against each other? Wouldn't that be an awesome new sport? team algorithms fighting against each other. Maybe one was written by some random genius team of programmers to take on the big dog tech companies.

Or maybe a professional robot fight league within google/facebook etc.

Wow, I clicked it expecting something half-baked.

Not so, it's a bit The Verge like but cleaner. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I'd love to be able to save for later. Also, a link to imdb or a similar movie db would be nice too.

great start but too many 80s movies!

A simpler way to do stuff like text wrapping is through scripting. I'm learning Rhinoscript right now, and soon RhinoPython will be released from beta allowing anyone with python skills to manipulate 3D form pretty easily. I agree though that there isn't anything truly simple for stuff like this.

http://coursekit.com/ has been advertised a bunch at my school lately, I haven't used it, but their design and implementation seems interesting

Yes, but how much bigger? whose getting the attention? that is what's interesting about this visualization.

Can't wait to see where this goes. The world needs a game changer in this space.

I think it's great for those of us who want to switch out music really fast without syncing or anything from any computer. Also solves some space issues like me filling up 8gb and needing only about 4 more...
