My Galaxy's screen broke the first time I dropped it :(



This might sound like a Godwin, but I guess we're slowly building our own Stasi and need to experience it first before we realize what happened. If it's not too late.


With right-extremist nutters like Wilders, economical decline, and the singling-out of a certain demographic (muslims), which happens internationally, it's more likely than you think. Yellow stars embroidened on coats have been replaced with profiles in large databases containing a billion times more profiling data though, instead of a simple yellow-starred label.


Had you written gestapo it would have been a godwin. See germany has extensive multifaceted experience with police states.


I'd love to see an Android version of this, I really don't like Samsung's take on the address/phone app


To ease out some of the pains James writes about, I created a bare Wordpress repo that is designed to separate content, media and wordpress' own files so it works better with git, git submodules and deployment with ie. capistrano.

please fork and adjust it to your own likings!


Quite some game UI's are done in Flash (check out ScaleForm by Autodesk: http://gameware.autodesk.com/scaleform) so using JavaScript seems plausible as well.


Some older games had the menus fully rendered in openGL. I'm not sure which is better, but I would think our society has more domain experience making menus with flash than with openGL.


exactly, the tooling and skillset for interface design/dev is extremely mature these days, and it probably isn't economical to move people onto custom solutions.


Get away from your desk every once in a while instead of exercising behind your desk. It clears your head and makes you focus better afterwards.


Why "instead" and not "as well"?


I feel you would get less work done running or walking on one of these, and you would also not get much exercise value out of it.

It would be better to take breaks often, and every other day take a 1 hour break to do a proper set of exercises in a gym, playing a sport or just running or biking outside.


There was a study I remember seeing referenced a while ago (I think it was in an article about the Mayo clinic guy Levine) where the big point was that if you spent essentially most of your workday sitting, then an hour at the gym doesn't undo that. With this approach I can walk 3 - 6 miles while working. I'm not trying to get my heart rate up to cardio levels obviously; I'm just walking. And I'm not saying I'm a role model for perfect health, etc...


Compared to all the others, I really like this execution of the simple, eye friendly design and the color coding. Well done! A small source url after the headline like reddit and HN do, would be a welcome addition imo.


Would a small source url still have benefit when there are thousands of unique domains possible? I think it would be ignored by most people.


This looks a lot like http://www.tubalr.com/


Its more of a endless music player, with some recommendation system built out of related videos.


Creator of tubalr here, thanks for the reference and for remembering tubalr :)


For me, this is the best feature. I've been using Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator and Omnigraffle for ages and none of them have an easy way of finding that one element hidden under 10 other layers. This looks like a great solution.
