Is the "Download a copy of your Facebook data." link under Account Settings not the data you want? It looked complete to me.

In past few months or so I've found TC to be unusably slow. I don't know if it's all the ads/tracking/js being loaded but it takes 20 seconds or more for me to be able to actually interact with the page and so I've just stopped reading it. This is a very welcome new way to read it.

I like your idea and really appreciate the goal but I also have the concern that using the app on your glowing phone might just add to the distraction.

Maybe if the user loaded the app and registered before the movie started, they could keep it in their pocket, unlock the phone, tap an area of the screen, and receive a vibration pattern as feedback that the theatre has been notified? It would leave the usher to determine the problem, but could reduce the "glow" annoyance. Just a thought. Best of luck.

The part that goes to the wall is detachable. What about making the other side detachable violates the aesthetic? Or am I thinking of something else?

There is a physical limit to rigidity. You basically cannot have a giant string that doesn't deform. Still limited by the speed of light.

But the term realtor was invented by the association to describe its members, specifically to differentiate them from other real estate agents. It's more like a "genericized brand name", not a previously existing English word.

It would be more convenient if it automatically wrote the canvas out to a Base64 encoded png, imo. Makes for easy saving because I can then drag it to the desktop.

I made a similar Chrome plugin called GIF Scrubber: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gbdacbnhlfdlllckel...

It also uses a canvas element to render each frame but it does support weird disposal methods. You can see the (very sloppy) source by just viewing the source of the plugin window.

You mentioned getting test images for the disposal methods and I found these to be very helpful: http://algif.sourceforge.net/#18

I'd also recommend using some kind of movie player-style control like I used and some kind of "explode" function. They both proved popular.

I've been involved in digital filmmaking for a few years and there really is something about the 24fps rate that gives a more dramatic effect to video and that's why it's been so highly sought after in digital cameras. I'm not sure if it's something we've learned by watching real film for so many years or if it's an innate preference but it's real and it's something most consumers don't even realize that they prefer. I suspect it's because when we watch drama, we're watching a highly stylized, surreal version of life and as the article states, higher frame rates sort of bring us down to earth. It feels too real.

When people are shown the 120hz smoothing it kind of reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they ask the children what they want in a cartoon and they give wild, off-the-wall suggestions that create a product they all actually hate. The smoothing may seem better when presented initially because people feel like they're getting "more" from these artificial frames but you it creates this "soap opera effect" on the video that cheapens the feel of the production. So to answer your question, I can't really explain it in a scientific way, but yes.

We're talking about consumers here. I don't think anyone doubts the term has been around for a long while in development and business circles but typical consumers never used the terms until the Apple campaigns. My mom also knows what an app is now, only because of her iPhone.

Choosing to let some company hold on to your data isn't exactly giving up freedom. You still have the freedom to not store it with them and you haven't given it up, but merely opted not to exercise it.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my report. I was trying to type the word 'birds' but it opened bank of america before I could type any more and refreshed without the search bar. Effectively, I couldn't search for any word starting with a b after that because it would load instantly.

I simply typed the letter 'b' into the box and it reloaded with Bank of America. It was fast in doing so, but not what I wanted. I agree it is an interesting concept, though.

But that wouldn't be nearly as inflammatory.
