Obsolescence is a crime

Well, yes. But what should I do about it in terms of furniture, when I'am renting? :-\ Not much.

No one will ever complain because you have made something too easy to understand

1. When you sit down to write, there is only one important person in your life. This is someone you will never meet, called a reader.

2. You are not writing to impress the scientist you have just interviewed, nor the professor who got you through your degree, nor the editor who foolishly turned you down, or the rather dishy person you just met at a party and told you were a writer. Or even your mother. You are writing to impress someone hanging from a strap in the tube between Parson's Green and Putney, who will stop reading in a fifth of a second, given a chance.

25 brilliant commandments for journalists. Read and obey the whole thing if you do any public writing - not necessarily as an journalist.

Engineers rules it all on Facebook, sadly

Engineers handle entire feature themselves — front end javascript, backend database code, and everything in between.  If they want help from a Designer (there are a limited staff of dedicated designers available), they need to get a Designer interested enough in their project to take it on.  Same for Architect help.  But in general, expectation is that engineers will handle everything they need themselves.

Long interesting article. The cited part is somehow disappointing - I thought, that it's like that (by looking at lot of horrible fucked up features on FB), but also was hoping for getting it better. Obviously, not that case.
I get the engineer centric culture - fast, effective, etc., but every user could confess, how horribly it affects how Facebook handles and works daily (developing on FB platform is real "pleasure" from time to time).

iPad 2 Likely to Have 2048x1536 Screen Resolution

Based on this information, and persistent rumors of a higher resolution iPad 2, we believe the next iPad will have a 2048x1536 screen resolution. It would also explain why Apple would have to upgrade the GPU on the new devices to drive this higher resolution.

260 dpi iPad size LCD is nowhere to be seen now, but so was the iPhone 4 LCD :-). It just makes sense - it would be possible with the new GPU.

Chcieť od investorov úver je asi ako žiadať banku o investíciu

Během ochutnávání specialit se další hovor točí především kolem požadované investice. "Paní Maruško, abych já to teda správně pochopila. Vy žádáte, vy nás žádáte o úvěr," pochopí nahlas jako první účel Mariina požadavku Marta Nováková. A nespletla se.

To ale asi nepochopila "Maruška". Nech beží do banky ak nechce pustiť žiadny podieľ. Fakt hustá demencia.

P.S.: Keby dostala 3M za 5% podieľ, tak je to valuácia 60M úplne z prachu a ona tomu ešte bude hovoriť šizení? Hustota na druhú.

The Most Amazing Press Release Ever Written by @Lifeisamitch

I'm quoting myself again because the first quote didn't do it justice," says Delaplane.  "If you're still reading this news release, then you know what I'm talking about when I say it's something special.  In fact, it's 483 words of pure awesomeness.  When it crosses the wires, I believe history will have been made.

This is what clients are expecting and some PR professionals are thinking while making yet another Press Release. Reality is "somewhat" less spectacular, or shall we say ugly, unnecessary, pointless or abysmal?
