According to a NYT article from 2022, there's a high false positive.

Apple loses Facetime patent lawsuit.
Time and time again, after being frustrated with Lastpass's UX i think of how much nicer 1Password looks. I really miss that app. It's hard for me to suggest LastPass to people who aren't comfortable. I've heard people from 1Password talk about there design work. On those days of frustration, I wonder if LastPass a real UX team.
The communist party is still an active part of the Ukrainian government, last I check.
I was listen to an old episode of Radio lab (http://www.radiolab.org/story/91713-famous-tumors/) and they had an ad for 23andme. The ad most talked about how you can use this information and talk it over with doctor. The ancestry reports was just a side thing mentioned at the end.
Even if we accept that OS X users don't buy books about their OS and don't rant as much (which I find particularly out of touch with reality), that's because there are vastly more Windows users around.
I would have assume most mac users who want to learn buy Apple's 'One on One' courses or some other related service.
I'd like to say that with Mavericks adding OpenGL 4.1, I can play a number of games much better on my Macbook Pro (early 2008).
I saw this reasoning flying around a lot when Valve started working on linux. I saw the move from linux initially as a natural extension of developing for the Mac OS. GabeN was quoted saying something on the lines of how the games were running much more stable on OSX then windows and said the problem they had wasn't related to there code.
Then I heard how performance issues. Using games performed (slightly?) better on Linux then on Windows. There was talk about mouse issues on Windows 8 and how some bench marks could be faked.
All this sounded to me was Valve wanted a better gaming environment.
Side note, I don't know how many people would be switching to Windows' store and gaming social features over Steam.
It's not user friendly to do. Jailbreaking on iOS has been shockingly easily lately when it's released.
The main reasons I stay on iOS
1) Vender lockdown & habits - I've been using an since the second iPod Touch (as a PDA). I'm not ready/eager to change "my workflow".
2) Accessibility - iOS (and the mac os) has had some the best (or at least easiest to setup) accessibility support. I'd be happy to be wrong about this but Androids documentation is either really lacking on these features or the features aren't there.
Jailbreaking is also critical to ensuring that the disabled are able to use their mobile devices as easily as possible.
This reason, while good and noble, feels really wonky. From what i understand, iOS's accessibility has much miles better then Android's accessibility options. If their main motives is to give a better mobile experience to people with special needs, maybe focusing on implementing these improvements system wide changes would be time better spend.
You work hard to make these changes then iOS 7.x.y comes out and the user updates by mistake and loses all the changes a jailbreak gives. It is this constant fighting with the system that has made staying with iOS less appealing these days.
Overbite has a list of plugins and clients that work on most platforms.
I would contraceptive usage would play a much larger part then internet porn.
I just posted its same link. Brett Terpstra makes so many amazing little script.
I was thinking of Daniel Suarez's Freedom (TM) book when I read this thread.
Did you miss the part where he says over and over how he uses vim?
Did you read the replies on reddit where this was originally posted to where there are rebuttal to the author's claims?

Vim is a text editor and that's it. If you want it do be an IDE you're going to have a bad time. I'd recommend this piece on Unix as IDE
Too bad that is chrome only at the moment and the commenter is using safari.
And for the too lazy to copy paste: http://tldr.io
People often mix the words sentience and sapience to mean the same thing. Mice clearly can perceive and feel things but they do not show the intelligence we call sapience.
using '/' (search) comes to mind. Drew also did an episode cover some more ideas and touches on relative number moving. http://vimcasts.org/episodes/long-range-line-duplication/
But as Drew points out in his post, moving by by word (w,b and e) and by character search (f,F,t,T) is much faster the arrow keys or h,j,k,l.
The article isn't about not using h,j,k,l completely but encouraging people to use those other keys for movement.
As someone with vision problems, syntax highlighting is a must for me (reason 1).
I completely agree with you. But once I found this interest setup where you'd map the caps lock key to ctrl/esc and then the ctrl key to cmd+alt+shift+ctrl. That mapping can act like another modifier key. Aside from some games, I have yet to find a program that gets in the way of my setup.
Drupal 8 is talking about using Twig, which my guess is very likely. Twig is made by the same people that start Symfony 2, parts of which Drupal 8 is going to be using.
I would a though iPod made more sense but waiting until 2009 is odd.
Forstall may have been trying to do a move similar to what Jobs did when he returned to Apple. Jobs lost confidence in where the company was going and sold all but one of his shares. The maps may have called Forstall's "bluff".
The author was criticizing their colon cleaning product. My guess is he assumes most people outside of Romania have not heard of the company's name.
It does bug me that he never mentioned them directly by name in this post.
In all seriousness, I've been using that for public transit myself.
> For myself, I still have a D&D group…
Oddity, that's exactly why I started to play D&D (…erg, pathfinder) at age of my life.
With most of those products you mentioned, I can see some sense with them. I would say the Windows Media Center is the most successful of those examples.
The Kin is only one I can say made no sense for the same reason the nexus Q doesn't make sense. It's really locked, not easy for the user put there own content on the device and relies too much on the cloud.
Yes, I did notices that. Sublime is very tempting but the cost and having a workflow that I'm happy with stop me from using in a project atm.
