  1. A Blow To HTML5 →

    I don’t think my dad really cares if it was built with HTML5, Native iOS or flying monkeys, it just has to work seamlessly and users are expecting the same quality and speed on mobile as desktop.

    This is a great example of how good Branch can be. (thanks Matt)

  2. Mailbox →

    I hope Mailbox is awesome. I badly want a way to triage my mail: shuffle emails around into buckets, tackle them by topic and importance, etc. (thanks MG)

  3. Kill the Location Bar →

    I see proposals like this more and more frequently in the last few years. They frighten me. I don’t want a single entity (Google) to be the gatekeeper of how people access the web (though I recognize this battle has effectively been lost already).

  4. Entitlement and Acquisition →

    Selling out isn’t a dirty choice. It doesn’t matter what the deal’s details are, or the amount of money, or who you’re selling to. It’s fine. It’s business. If you want to take the money, take the money. It doesn’t make you a bad person.

    I’m fine with this as a stance as long as you don’t try to blow smoke up my arse and tell me you’re in it for the product or “changing the world” at the same time.

    For what it’s worth, I believe that this is something that customers should care about. I believe a license like this is a real solution. It affords developers the right to protect their product and make it commercially viable, but also provides assurances to customers that they won’t be left out in the cold.

  5. #theatershooting →

    I recognize the logic behind the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument, but it’s hard to see this tragedy happening without a gun.
