Sascha Lack recommended After Checking Your Bank Account, Remember To Log Out, Close The Web Browser, And Throw Your Computer Into The Ocean from theonion.com:

Remember: Log out, shut your browser, procure a hydrogen bomb (trading highly classified U.S. defense secrets on the black market with a rogue state is easiest), strap your computer to the tip of the weapon, dig a 25-mile-deep hole to the earth’s mantle, drop the thermonuclear device in, and then detonate it to trigger a mass volcanic event that fills the atmosphere with thick clouds of ash, thereby cloaking the entire planet in darkness for centuries. But be sure to double-check that you logged out first!

Sascha Lack recommended The Swagger is Back from nba.com:

There are certain things in life you just don’t do. You don’t tug on Superman’s cape and you don’t doubt Dirk Nowitzki.

Sascha Lack That's what I'm talking about.

Sascha Lack recommended The 49ers' plan to build the greatest stadium Wi-Fi network of all time from arstechnica.com:

The 49ers are defending NFC champions, so 68,500 fans will inevitably walk into the stadium for each game. And every single one of them will be able to connect to the wireless network, simultaneously, without any limits on uploads or downloads. Smartphones and tablets will run into the limits of their own hardware long before they hit the limits of the 49ers' wireless network.

Sascha Lack recommended No more ‘Mobile’ from jimramsden.com:

The gap has now closed. Some users probably never even had an awareness of the gap and when we (the designers) look back and reflect on this era, I'm sure we'll conclude that it was us that opened the gap in the first place.

Sascha Lack Great post by @ramsden about the value of a term called 'MOBILE'.

Sascha Lack recommended Performance As Design from bradfrostweb.com:

Ultimately performance is about respect. Respect your users’ time and they will be more likely to walk away with a positive experience. Good performance is good design. It’s time we treat it as such.

Sascha Lack Why performance should not be some kind of an optional add-on.

Sascha Lack recommended Why I love Twitter and barely tolerate Facebook from medium.com:

On Twitter, I have no idea where most people grew up, what schools they attended, and they are similarly in the dark when it comes to me. You get to know more about the people you follow day by day as their comments and ideas fill my picture of what makes them tick.

Sascha Lack The difference between Facebook and Twitter is not only about features and numbers. It's much more about a general feeling when using it.

Nonetheless, Peter Chernin’s announcement shows us the future of Twitter: a media company writing software that is optimized for mostly passive users interested in a media and entertainment filter.

Sascha Lack recommended Rassismus Polizei Frankfurt: Ihr seid hier nicht in Afrika from fr-online.de:

Die Polizisten hätten sich einfach Zutritt verschafft, sagt sie, seien durch die Zimmer gelaufen. Sie hätten beide Aufzüge in den siebten Stock blockiert. Sie hätten sich den Ausweis einfach genommen. Als der Krankenwagen, den sie ruft, ankommt, hätten die Beamten versucht, ihn wieder wegzuschicken. Drei Tage muss Wevelsiep in der Klinik liegen.

Sascha Lack recommended Optimieren – Ausgabe 2012 from grochtdreis.de:

Wer die vollständige Kontrolle über sein Design haben will, sollte sich vom Webdesign verabschieden und zum Printdesign überwechseln.

Sascha Lack recommended The iPad Mini from daringfireball.net:

The combined weight of an 11-inch Air and a full-size iPad 3/4 is about 3.8 pounds. The combined weight of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display and an iPad Mini is about 4.2 pounds. That seems like a better kit for my needs: a far more powerful Mac for work, and a far more comfortable iPad for reading, at less than half a pound of additional weight to carry around.

Sascha Lack A quite awesome and well-balanced read about the upcoming iPad Mini.

Sascha Lack recommended an article from theindustry.cc:

This leads me to believe that at some point in the future we will see a trend towards simpler and sleeker iOS and OS X software.

Sascha Lack A pretty speculative and also interesting read about the changes in Apple's management tier.

Sascha Lack recommended Der Höhenkoller von Felix Baumgartner: Weltraumforschung abschaffen, Diktatur einführen from scienceblogs.de:

Wir Menschen wollen auch einfach deswegen wissen, weil wir einfach wissen wollen. Wir sind keine Tiere, die nur essen, schlafen und sich fortpflanzen. Wir sind Tiere, die das Bedürfnis haben, die Welt zu verstehen. Und deswegen schicken wir Raumsonden zum Mars. Und deswegen fahren manche Leute auch mit einem Ballon auf 39 Kilometer Höhe und hüpfen raus. Nicht, weil es zwingend sinnvoll ist. Sondern weil sie sehen wollen, ob es möglich ist.
