John Gruber nails why I loathe the back button on Android. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost a text message, new email, tweet, Facebook post, etc, etc because of the confounded back button and my reliance on it WORKING

Recently, Apple gave a preview of their two upcoming operating systems Lion and iOS 5. They both look great. Along with Lion, they also gave more info on Lion Server. I’ve noticed a good number of questions about Lion Server, and considering my day job, I thought I’d dig in and get…

Agree with this philosophy 100%. Relevancy always out-weighs obnoxiousness in my observations

I’ve heard a lot of the numbers. I’ve been a person who has cursed at IE things that shall not be mentioned on this blog. The truth is it’s not going any where and if you are creating something truly useful that people are going to want to use and they are at the whim of an IT department that does not want to update one piece of software for thousands of computers just do your job. That’s what I finally realized.

I’m not happy with IE8, 7, 6, so on and so forth, but I can make things work in those browsers because I’ve been in a position where that’s where the revenue was coming from. Obvioulsy, being a forward thinker and someone who loves the new hawtness as much as anyone else I am perfectly happy knowing that a website may not look exactly the same in IE as it’ll look in Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox or any other browser that took the initiative to support advancing standards.

I definitely agree with this article. The best user experiences I have found myself being wowed by have come from native applications built for the system.

I believe web applications do offer something that native apps don’t and that is mobile. When building a native application and choosing to deploy it it’s not usually just the flick of a switch to produce a mobile version that someone can view on their iPhone, Android phone, etc. With Web Apps comes the ease of optimizing a website for use with mobile devices in the browser. Not as powerful but still provides and option with a lot less barrier to entry for developers.

Of course developing for mobile devices vs. developing for desktops is becoming more unified with the iPhone OS and Android.

This article is a few months old but it is a pretty extensive read into how to think about group interaction in the 21st century (in my opinion). Mobile devices should be about people, their relationships and how to connect them
