Comment Holy fucking shit (Score -1, Troll) 228

I'm so glad I grew up before this profit-making mania to classify and treat every fucking kid who isn't "normal" and prescription drug parenting became status-quo. Wow does it suck to be a kid these days!

Seriously.

On the other hand, I can't wait for the lawsuits to fly from these over-treated chemically fucked kids when they grow up and discover Pfizer's penis up their ass. Almost makes me wish I'd become a lawyer instead.

integrated instapaper (seriously - try instapaper for the ipad - it's scary cool when used with "print this page") functionality would be cool as shit. I'd pay through a paywall if the content was better than the web version - and wired.com is mostly a macroblog site - not their magazine content.

They could create a paywall site for their paper content - and a little more - and create an instapaper-type version for offline local. They'd get both ipad and non-ipad readers all in one go.

I thought the article scored more points on addressing the HTML 5 arguments (which are far more valid - and possibly why the NYT app is better (I don't know it's dev-dissection)).

Bonus points for your book link. I meant to get that title a while ago and forgot about it. Just downloaded it for my kindle-reader iPad client - thx!

re:"The article suggests this was done to get the app out quick after Flash was officially vetoed by Steve Jobs"

Why quick? Wasn't all the years flash was excluded for the iPhone at all a hint? OOOOOh I get it - controversy = hitcounts! Linkbait me baby - linkbait me!

I think the interface still needs a little work - but at least it wasn't nearly as painful as PopSci's efforts. NYT still rules the interface roost. I know where to go - it stays out of the way - and no tutorial on "how to read this magazine" (Time, I'm looking at you).

Might also be nice to have the video play in the page as an option like the NYT too. Or stream it to save on space. I can live without video when I'm on a plane.

Comment loaded crowd? (Score 1) 484

Speaking of "a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'" - I've heard a few of these keynotes (downloaded on iTunes) while driving in the car, and not one but at least 2 times - on different keynotes - I seem to hear the exact same voices "hooting". I thought nothing of it until Andy Ihnatko blogged something similar during his notes on the iPad rollout about Apple employees loaded into the seats. Is Apple staging more than just what's in front of the audience - and is now staging the audience itself?

Not a big-deal - but if we're going to talk about "a-whoopin' and a-hollerin'" - I thought I might as well ask.
