And don't bother replying because you clearly have more time for this than I have. You're just itching for an argument where there isn't one to be had, and it's clearly killing you because you keep coming back.
Jesus Christ...
I find it amusing that you're happily sniping away while trying to appear all holier than thou. There's not much point in us discussing what isn't there anymore, it's just making my original point look irrelevant which you keep alluding to. But again, you weren't there when the original sniping was going on and promptly removed.
So save your "practice what you preach" and other cliches for someone else because this pointless conversation is becoming a parody of itself.
Very clever, the ol' switcheroo.
I'm not talking about the comments from genuinely confused people, I'm talking about the nastier snipes which seem to have conveniently disappeared after myself and others called them out on it. Here's one that's still floating around: "there's nothing in that horrible presentation that a modern browser can't do".
And you're calling me a dick for calling out comments like that? Come on, please. I realise that my original comment AND this comment aren't adding any value to the conversation either, I'm just saying we aren't doing much in creating an environment where people are confident in sharing their work without fear of hours of work being instantly dismissed by snarky commenters. I'm sure you wouldn't like it.
And once again our community snipes, takes cheap shots and shows a complete lack of appreciation for the effort in a project such as this.
If you have nothing of value to add, just keep quiet. Otherwise you can come across as a bit of a dick. Thanks.
A couple of things:
* The side-swipe at Apple in the video for doing "one thing well" is a misleading statement. Apple build computers that do a lot of things, not just to enjoy music.
* The sly dig at Apple product videos at the beginning gets more and more ironic as the video slowly transforms into the Apple product video style towards the end.
* And the side-swipe is just poor form considering the OS does look OSX-inspired. I know this is an old argument about eOS but it's worth mentioning when the sly digs in the video bring it up.
I only intend this criticism as constructive because I know you guys are on to a great thing here, I just don't think you need the hints towards other OS's to put yourselves ahead of the game, you are better than that!
Further points:
* I commend you guys for the hard work you have put into this OS. Elementary was my distro of choice when I was a Linux user, it's fast, beautiful and task orientated, so keep up the good work
* It's fantastic to see the base install apps conforming to a visual style whereas on other distros the theming can look quite disjointed.
Microsoft's design uses a mobile first approach with media queries and other techniques to make it a ubiquitous experience regardless of device. The others don't. That's why it looks the worst in an ancient browser, although it arguably looks better than the other examples if you were to open the same page on an array of devices with differing dynamics.
I heard someone describe a non-malicious DDOS attack (in the case of high traffic) as a website being cuddled to death.
I don't think it's about being close-minded, if you name a word suggestively close to something negative then you'll get negative associations with it. It's not rocket science.
Imagine a condom brand named "Leakys".
Gut reaction: Trojita isn't far off Trojan. I think people will have issues with that.
1) Correct 2) Also correct, not sure why this is an issue 3) Their blog does have an RSS feed - http://blog.digg.com/rss do you mean an anchor link for subscribing? I can't recall I used one of those instead of the RSS icon in the address bar.
Additionally, Digg - the product, like HN, Reddit etc was never going to be a substitute for Reader. The product they are currently working on sounds like a direct replacement for Reader with a social slant. Seems like the most sensible move for them to become relevant again.
I use www.typecast.com for that. They have fonts from Google, fonts.com, Typekit, Font Deck and Web Type and allow searching and combining fonts across all libraries.
Not if you use media queries that look for resolution and pixel density to make appropriate adjustments. It all comes down to the implementation. Your example is a generalisation sir. I can give you plenty of fine examples of responsive web design where it's more than "moving a menu". It's all in the implementation and the implementer.
Responsive design as a design system isn't at fault here. The article implies (indirectly) that it is.
Bad responsive design compromises usability - good responsive design applies itself to the context and enhances usability.

... in a lightbox!
For teh SEOS.
I should further clarify - my documented approach is for re-arranging layouts for small viewports in responsive web design so flexbox only kicks in for narrow widths.
The approach the author demonstrates is for using flexbox in general.
This is essentially the same idea as something I wrote a while back (compatible in iOS Safari, Android browsers etc) Demo - http://www.jordanm.co.uk/lab/contentchoreography Article - http://www.jordanm.co.uk/post/21863299677/building-with-cont...
To clarify iOS6 safari and all major mobile browsers use the legacy flexbox syntax. If you want to use the technique of small desktop contexts then use new flexbox, otherwise use the legacy syntax alongside new flexbox to ensure you cover all bases.
