Responsive Web Design: Missing the Point

oomoepoo — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:51:34 +0100

»Your visitors don’t give a shit if your site is responsive. They don’t care if it’s a separate mobile site. They don’t care if it’s just a plain ol’ desktop site. They do give a shit if they can’t get done what they need to get done. They do give a shit when your site takes 20 seconds to load. They do care when interactions are awkward and broken.«

Amazon’s brilliant plan to pay you crazy money for your iPad 2

oomoepoo — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 03:18:16 +0100

»What’s going on here? Considering that Apple is selling new iPad 2s for $399, how can Amazon afford to shell out up to $390 for your old one? What’s it doing with all the iPads it’s buying? Is Jeff Bezos running a charity? Nope. There’s one catch to Amazon’s trade-in program, and it’s brilliant.«

I see what you did there, amazon!

The Indie Movement: Interview with Thomas Grip

»Actually, our main way to do marketing is to have a game that stands out, and thus cannot rely on being like other games. Another reason for us being more creative has actually been lack of money. We simply cannot create a combat system that rivals a bigger production, and have to find other ways to make the game competitive.

oomoepoo — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 21:47:08 +0100

»And sure enough, ask a random programmer when they do their best work and there’s a high chance they will admit to a lot of late nights. Some earlier, some later. A popular trend is to get up at 4am and get some work done before the day’s craziness begins. Others like going to bed at 4am.«

Computer Science and Telescopes

oomoepoo — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:03:40 +0100
