Facebook Camera Could Backfire and Get All Of FB’s Apps Buried In A Folder
I agree with Hunter in the update that opening a folder is easier than opening a cluttered and often slow app. But I also agree with Josh that Apple’s folder design could use some work.
Because the icons in folders are so tiny, they all basically look the same and I’m forced to search to remember what I put where (not the worst option, but still). A better option may be to let you select four key app icon images to equally fill the folder square (think something like the “Key Photo” in iPhoto, but more than one so it’s clear that it isn’t just that app). Or maybe it could cycle through the app icons in the folder slowly while maintaining the outer gray ring to show that it’s a folder and not the app…
Not sure what the right answer is.

Watching Movie at Theatres Sucks
Dear Movie Studios,
Hey guys! I know you got these friends of yours call movie theaters, and they help you make money off movies for decades. Over the years, you guys had good times together: making tons of cash. But in 2012, your partner the theatres are really lousy at their job. When I go to watch your movie at the theatres, I have to put up with this:
- Lineup to buy tickets
- Overpriced and crappy food
- (Often) less than optimal viewing angle due to lousy seat.
- Sticky floors from spilled pop
- Noisy audience whispering and crying children.
- Funky smell from items listed above.
- No pause button for washroom break.
Look, I pay these movie theatres $10 each time I go see one of your movies. And I’m pretty sure you don’t get $10 from the theatres for each ticket. How about if you stream your movie to my home TV for $10, and let me watch it in comfort while making even more money. Surely you got enough buddies in the tech industry to get this up and running.
So please, save me from the sticky floor, crying toddlers, and snoring spouses. I’m pretty sure the theatre experience isn’t how you guys imagine your customers enjoying your movies. James Cameron didn’t plan for the screams of toddler as live background accompaniment to the music in Avatar.
Sincerely,
A lover of movies.

I’ve come to the conclusion that all bus terminals are a cruel joke by architects. They are almost always designed to impede flow of traffic and people. Either that or only crappy architects take bus terminal contracts.

Etiquette for Riding a Bus
1. Don’t block doorways and adjacent space.
They are for getting on and off the bus. Not for standing or make out sessions. Keep on moving toward the back.
2. No achievement points for touching the pole for the whole trip.
Look, I get it you want to stay upright for the ride and not fall because the driver slammed on the brakes. But that doesn’t mean you need to stretch your arms to hold on to the pole while blocking everyone trying to get to the back.
3. Keep your limbs to yourself.
Be mindful of your elbows hitting people sitting down. If you’re not aware of your elbow hitting people repeatedly in the head, then you shouldn’t be riding public transit. Ever.
4. It’s a bus, not a taxi.
If you missed your stop, don’t yell at the bus driver and expect the driver to stop and let you off. Suck it up, you missed your stop.
5. It’s just a seat.
When a seat becomes available on a packed bus, move to the seat with dignity. No need to push and shove. (Just yesterday, some dude literally climbed on my knees to get to the seat next to me.)
6. Your backpack = your extra limb
Be mindful of where your backpack is when you move. It takes up space and hit other people. Avoid Y-axis rotations.
Golden rule of bus etiquette: Don’t be a dick.
iCloud does NOT compete with Dropbox, despite @wired telling ppl other wise
I’m sick of all these articles and idiots saying how iCloud documents and data sync competes with Dropbox. The implementation and proliferation of iCloud document syncing is so primitive right now. If Dropbox is a 4-door car, iCloud is a horse wagon missing the horse.
Pixels, words, and bits. From my mind to your mind.
