Brent Simmons stellt die richtigen Fragen
Here’s my question: how can any company survive long-term as an advertising company, knowing that the price of ads goes down as their effectiveness goes down? I think they’ll have to show more and more ads and make them more and more obtrusive — and eventually people will get sick of the ads.

Beautiful does not always mean usable →
“The results showed that the beauty of the interface did not affect how users perceived the usability of the shops,” Bargas-Avila continued. “Participants (or Users) were capable of distinguishing if a product was usable or not, no matter how nice it looked. However, the experiment showed that the usability of the shops influenced how users rated the products’ beauty. Participants using...
440 Pixel pro Zoll →
Das AH-IPS-Panel (Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching) erreicht mit 440 Pixeln pro Zoll eine deutlich höhere Auflösung als das im iPhone 4 verbaute Retina-Display und LGs Smartphone-Display mit 4,5 Zoll und 720p-Auflösung (1.280 x 720 Pixel), die auf 326 beziehungsweise 329 Pixel pro Zoll kommen.
Hört sich gut an, es fehlt jetzt noch der Stift für das 5 Zoll Display.

One of the great things about the App Store →
One of the great things about the App Store is that it inspires so much creativity from designers, it seems like there’s great new ideas for interfaces and interactions every week that delights the design community.
Apple setzt mit seinen eignen Apps die Messlatte so hoch, dass es nur schwer ist diese zu übertreffen. Talent liebt das und eifert dem nach.

Yoda's Philosophie der Macht
(1)
Die Macht ist mein Verbündeter Und ein kraftvoller Verbündeter ist sie. Das Leben erschafft sie, Bringt es zur Entfaltung. Ihre Energie umgibt uns Und bindet uns. Erleuchtete Wesen sind wir, Nicht diese rohe, primitive Materie, Wesen verdichteten Lichts, Kraftvolle Wesen! Du musst sie fühlen - die Macht. Du musst fühlen Wie sie strömt. Hören wie sie singt. Spüre die Kraft, Die dich umgibt. Um...

Der Satz „We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil“ wird oft mit Donald Knuth in Verbindung gebracht, der es in seinem Aufsatz „Structured Programming with go to Statements“ inhaltlich beschrieben hat (Knuth, 1974 S. 294). Der Aufsatz ist die Widerlegung von Knuth zu Dijkstras Aufsatz „Go To Statement Considered...

Worse is Better
If you spend the time to build the perfect framework that’s going to do what you want and that’s going to carry you from release 1.0 though release 5.0 and everything going to be great; well guess what: release 1.0 is going to take you three years to ship and your competitor is going to ship their 1.0 in six months… Your competitor’s six month 1.0 has crap code and they’re...

Objective-C++ in Cocoa with love
As I’ve stated, I do view Objective-C’s strength in the area of application frameworks as a niche (albeit a very large niche). If I were writing a compiler, OS kernel, or a low-level/high-performance library, then I would use C++ (I wouldn’t use pure C because I’d miss my abstractions) — but these are situations where metaprogramming, greater inlining and faster method...

A Design Parable: The Toaster and the Toast
[…] We thought that the designs for the “things you put in a toaster” category had enormous potential, but the client seemed lukewarm about many of the ideas. We asked why. The client said that they thought the ideas were innovative, but they weren’t sure they’d fit in a toaster, adding, “We don’t talk to the people who make the toasters”.
