Better title: Dr. Drang Notices Some Crappy Formatting in a Slide and Also Programmers Aren’t Mathematicians

To say nothing of the fact that from day one the iPhone had a best-in-class web browser. It's funny how the iPhone has been continually derided for not being open enough while having full access to the open web, the platform that is routinely held up as the future of computing by those who think local binaries are a relic of the past who also deride the iPhone for not being open enough.

A computer with apps from only one vendor is still a computer (unless you prescribe to the ideological notion that a "computer" must be "open" somehow).

Apple has done more than any other American company to improve working conditions in China.

Three related but not dependent things keep getting conflated:

1. The trash can design was not able to accommodate much heat variance and so was not updatable.

2. The trash can Mac Pro didn't suit some pro needs because of lack of graphics card and internal storage upgradability.

3. Dual graphics cards with an emphasis on OpenCL was the wrong direction to go in.

Huh? "Employees" are a matter of legality, not causality.

Is this the innovation that's supposedly lacking at Apple under Tim Cook?

Why is that ironic?

Trading cards were added to make people happy?

It's bizarre that people continue to think of Windows PCs as being predominantly owned by individuals or even individuals with a specific interest in technology.

People were convincingly doctoring photos looong before Photoshop.

One path is to be a former editor-in-chief of Macworld magazine.

I believe you have misunderstood the author's point. He is not criticizing Apple, but rather analyzing how they are managing disrupting themselves while seeking to find ways of making the disrupted product continue to be relevant.

The author is discussing the "why" of the Mac, not its whereabouts.

Every new release of (mac)OS( X), I rush to see whether the Grab.app creepy eye camera[0] has been replaced, and every time I breathe a sigh of relief. Sadly though, a few versions ago it stopped following the mouse cursor.

An incredibly useful tool with an astonishingly bad UI.

Totally disagree. Being able to adjust flow direction, padding, etc. and then perpetuate those changes across multiple elements makes me more likely to experiment.

Also, I'm not necessarily referring to setting up complex constraints and rules, but more just not having to move a bunch of stuff around with the mouse every time I make a change.

As a designer, I find it genuinely perplexing and distressing that UI design apps continue to get created that don't support automatic layouts. Dragging and nudging things around is horrendously inefficient. The one app that does this – Antetype – has been almost entirely ignored by the design community.

Here's an example: http://bendansby.com/antetype.gif

What is your definition of success? Reasonable estimates put the Watch near 20 million units sold in its first 18 months on the market.

What's crappy about the iPhone simulator?

But...it's not that.

Bottom line is we're always going to be digging something out of the ground. The less hellish we can make those places the better, regardless of which element it is. Or, you know, asteroids.

Distinctions between cities are increasingly meaningless. It's just a never ending sea of humanity and its byproducts.

Both the Apple III and Lisa were conceived as products for the business market. NeXT was intended to serve higher education. Years later Apple tried to go after the server market with Xserve. If anything speaks to the idea of a company having "DNA", it's Apple's/Jobs' results when taking their eye off the consumer market ball.

Feeble reminder that Sketch is yet another graphics/drawing app pressed into UI design service rather than being specially built for that purpose. I use Antetype for high fidelity mockups: http://antetype.com/

Funny how the third paragraph comes to essentially the same conclusion as Pulitzer Prize winner Guns, Germs, and Steel.

I know I shouldn't immediately dismiss the entirety of an article just because it uses Rob Enderle for a quote, but I choose to do so anyway.
