jonb··on Why 2014 is the 'year of smart glasses'
2014 will be the "internet of things" (Bluetooth LE) and wearables will be a subset of it.

I noticed and LOL'd.

I wrote "here's a way to be less scared".

And you're saying "just don't be scared".

(shrug)

Speaking of investigating life choices, you're coming off like an asshole. You might want to reconsider the way you talk to people.

Here's the summary:

1. A post uses food as a metaphor* to make a point.

2. You basically say bullshit to the food, then rant about life.

3. Someone says "I dunno if it's BS, I've experienced this!"

4. And you say "then there's something wrong with you".

Fuck you, buddy.

*I'm the guy who wrote the essay, and for the record it was referring to a bunch of foodies in a design studio who were a few blocks from Pike Place market. It was Hick's Law in action. Frequently.

Indeed. Steve Jobs apparently said "The name of the company is Apple unless you can think of something better by tomorrow." And they couldn't.

Love this.

And the word count target is the best thing I've seen all day. Lovely.

I contributed in order to get people telling my wife (http://twitter.com/#!/raintea) Happy Birthday tomorrow (8/8).

Thought I'd cross-post here for the cause too :)

jonb··on Stop Password Masking
I'm 100% in agreement with you here.

Mac OS X's Keychain Access has "show this password", and iPhone does masking but still shows you the last character you just typed for about a second.

I think these are both good compromises.
