An interesting report, but I kept wondering about this:

Apple decided to go a step further and just begin hiring these creatives directly into Apple

What do these people actually work on? The story makes it clear it’s not Hollywood stuff (because they’re understandably hesitant to bring that work in to Apple), but then what? Does nothing actually come out of this and are these just the world’s most expensive testers?

This is amazing.

I appreciate that many of these products are probably maintained by somewhat disparate departments, but the lack of consistency in how things such as iCloud synching and cleanup act could probably do with some cohesion.

And Siri’s off-by-6 bug is Hall of Fame–worthy.

Evan Miller on an in his opinion obviously imminent future with big tablets as the form factor of choice for professionals, primarily focussing on the shortcomings of mouse pointers:

The mouse pointer was designed for a 9″ screen, not a 29″ one.

It’s an intriguing argument, especially the serious considerations of styli (cue “They blow it” quote from Steve Jobs). I think there could be something here. (Even if I have historically been swayed by Apple’s arguments about the tiring of arms, the angle at which you can use a Surface Studio should help with that.)

Det er en gammel nyhed, men eftersom jeg købte “Everything is Borrowed” i går, er min interesse blevet fornyet. Og Mike Skinners danske udtale er yderst imponerende, selvom han ikke synger så meget.

Dette er bare så ubeskriveligt dumt at jeg slet ikke kan sætte ord på. (Selvom jeg forsøgt en del på bold.snak.)

Hyggelig og sjov. Vældig godt eksempel på nogle af MSN Messengers fuldstændigt åndssvage emoticons.

En fantastisk samling af ord der er gået tabt.

Det må man give ham — det er virkelig noget at gøre i en god sags tjeneste.

BT gør i øvrigt hvad de kan for at understrege at det ikke er en aprilsnar, så jeg tror dem. Fed gestus af manden på toppen af PS&E.
