Re: Why You Should Never Order a Mojito in My Bar

Tedious. Real bartenders work in real bars serving drinks, not "pop-up" shops inflicting their craft experiments on paying customers.

Re: Hey, Apple: Please Do Your Design Magic on iOS 6 Maps

Jony Ive designs hardware, not software. I'm sure Scott Forstall's team, which seems to be increasingly obsessed with horrible ornamentation, will find a way to ugly up Maps with fake leather stitching, pointless drop-shadows and torn-out paper edges.

Re: iOS 6: 7 Key Trouble Spots Apple Needs to Address

The faux stitches in the stock apps are bad, but the faux remnants of pages that have been torn out in Calendar and Notes are the worst. Address Book was redesigned to look more like a book yet lacks all the functional properties of an actual book. From a brand perspective, Apple's stock apps should be the cleanest, best-designed versions in their categories; Scott Forstall needs to ratchet back the "quirky".

Is pay tv still a thing? How bad must it be if people are moving from pay tv into print?
Kirstie's better off out of it - the ever-decreasing production budgets alone are beyond depressing ... A great post, Patty.

$4,487 seems like a hefty price for something that looks like a minor step up from a cinder-block-and-plank bookcase.

The two big pieces of Higgs work eliminated a range of possibilities of where the Higgs is not going to be found - they narrowed the field. That's good science to me!

I guess carnival barking is protected as free speech. Doesn't stop it from being stoopid, though.

btw - ep 2 has a title now: "Showmance"

Re: Get Ready to be Glee-ful!

I became an instant fan with the first ep. The staging of "Rehab" was pure genius. I also love Jane Lynch as the gym teacher - a character she played on The New Adventures of Old Christine - and the mysophobic Miss Pillsbury. Can't wait for ep two. Also in the same week - 30 Rock season 4. Yay!

Seriously, you need to do a little research before you start labelling this a spam. It's not. It's just a non-US joke. Check the comments here http://www.techcrunch.com/2...

Great piece -- the numbers are just amazing. I can't wait to get my first iPhone later this month and start shaping some social media of my own.
