NOT be touchscreens.
Hence, my preference towards precision. Besides, it's kinda hard to sketch and draw accuately with an index finger.
(I look forward to your letters, kindergarden children.)
It should be interesting to see what happens in the next few years. SInce following the trend now leads to subatomic 200pm process sizes in 20 years or so. Apparently the current lithography technology has limits around 10nm.
I'm not going to get behind the line on this one; I always seem to get lazy, and then lose out. Not this time, by gods! I'm placing my hold on "The Young Man's Illustrated Primer" at the library right now!
...before you can be honored with a high stress, low pay job teaching a room full of ignorant, arrogant, hormone imbalanced people who are not yet answerable to the adult criminal justice system.
He already reads slashdot. That qualifies him for at least a post at the rural version of Fort Apache, the Bronx. How much worse can it get?
The resolution on all existing tablets (including ipad2) requires downscaling for 1080p content. And it looks bad. I have my fingers crossed that the upscaling for this resolution will look better. And that one of Apples competitors will get a 1080P+ android device out soon.
Working off a 1600x900 laptop, I always start my desktop pages at a large (1218px) container size. This scales down to a 960 container just fine.
I'm glad we'll eventually get rid of at least one media query, then, when the tablets all get this larger rez. Will take time, of course, but it'll be less CSS to code and less stylesheets to get trundled up in eventually. I say great, and Android? Please catch up!
Step 1: Offer a new software function.
Step 2: Wait for two new generations of the software to be released, and the function mainstreamed.
Step 3: Remove the function.
Step 4: See how many bitch.
Step 5: Don't reinistate the function. The little geeks will just work up a kludge on their own.
...was to point out the facts that
a) Canada has no culture. We've always been parasitic in our cultural identity; what little concept we have of a "Canadian culture" sprouted between 1916 and about 1975. Before then, culture immigrated with the masses; since then, it's been subsumed by global influences -- and yes, mostly from the U.S. That's mainly proximity, and puts us in company with a shitload of other countries.
b) The CRTC sucks. Sucks balls, as a matter of fact. I used to be a long-distance reseller; I've dealt with the CRTC on a person-to-committee basis many times. As a body, it's antiquated, stone-aged in its thinking, and yes, usually takes the easy way out by bending to the whims of the big telecom and media entities. It, like it's affiliates in the States and overseas, needs to get their asses in gear and up to speed with what's really happening in the tech world today. It doesn't just risk reputation or stagnation on its current route: it jeopardizes the Canadian public and its technological future in the same way that SOPA and PIPA affect domestic Internet users. Which brings me to...
c) If we're arguing that Canada has become Americanized, then the biggest risk of this is that Canada will adopt the same type of idiotic, tech-blind, censorious legislation that is represented by SOPA and PIPA. If we can import and be influenced by Jersey Shore, Mitt Romney, Kelly Ripa, and Mickey Mouse, how much influence will bills of this magnitude have on our weak-kneed politicos when the U.S. turns around and threatens to increase border security or stop buying natural resources if we don't toe the line?
There. There's the fodder. Have at it, Slashers!
But for crystal meth.
Odd: degraded social interaction... loss of personal hygene... insular, self-interested attitude... nutrition and basic needs diminished...
Yep. Different drug. Same results.
it seem's the decision they made is about a year too late.
Oh sure, take me down with you!
Ironically, I just posted two Blackberry videos onto my YouTube portfolio channel yesterday that I had forgotten about (http://www.youtube.com/user/seanmurphydesign/featured#). I like the vids, but I tell you... my timing sucks!
I can't see anyone reading this, so it's merely for my edification, and as a time-capsule back to this moment.
After four months of haggling, hoop-jumping, and enough red tape (albeit not carbon nanotube red tape) to produce an finite but very large number of space elevators, I have finally accomplished my goal. I have prised from the Ontario, Canada provincial government's death-grip the means of continuing on as a viable designer in the post-print techno-bubble we're living in.
new keyboard?
Nope. Just excited. Blowws ogff somme steeam, tyou knoooooow?
It probably will get expensive (but when you involve render farms what isn't) but you can certainly do it...
Things don't get more expensive. Cost reduces as usage increases.
