This track is beautiful and moving, but so sad.
“Aurora” is dedicated to those who lost their lives and were affected by the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. I recorded this song in London in the days following the tragedy as a heartfelt tribute to the victims and their families.
It has an emptiness to it, which seems to reflect the pointlessness of the loss of life at the shooting.
Excited!
Good list. Not something I’d thought of.
I have mixed feelings about the Apple vs Samsung trial; I think they’re both being daft – Samsung for copying so closely and Apple for being so litigious, rather than continuing to innovate their way ahead.
However, this document that’s been submitted into evidence was authored by Samsung engineers. It goes through all the aspects of the iPhone, and how the Samsung phones aren’t as usable, and recommends what Samsung should do. It really highlights the level of polish in the iPhone that makes it a great device.
I think I just read the worst spoiler I’ve ever read. The earliest I could get tickets to see Dark Knight Rises at IMAX, after figuring out what to do with Oscar, was 18 August; one full month after the movie was released. I’ve been diligently limiting access to discussion, comments, trailers etc, but made a slip up today.
[no spoilers here]
I read the linked to post. It didn’t mention there would be spoilers, and the first section wasn’t spoilery. Then I started reading the second section. I should have stopped as soon as I saw the words “One part of The Dark Knight Rises that did surprise me…” But I just didn’t think quick enough.
I don’t actually know if its a spoiler. I stopped as soon as I saw the word that made my head explode. I guess I’ll find out in just over 2 weeks.
By the way – please don’t respond to let me know any more information… I’m going to do my best to forget what I read, and not think about it. I just wanted to share the pain I experienced.
Super useful collection of instructions for getting your web servers working smoothly after upgrading to Mountain Lion 🙂
Good find. One of the YouTube commenters says Tom Waits and Heath Ledger did a movie together, so it’s likely this guy is the inspiration.
It’s not always that easy. I don’t think it makes sense to distinguish between men and women with a hard line. No matter what line you draw some people will be on the ‘wrong’ side. Can’t we design games that give women an advantage over men, to ensure a mixed Olympics isn’t dominated by men? Or have other international competitions that women are better adapted to compete in?
I’d argue the same for Paralympics; can’t we add games to the Olympics, that disabled people are well equipped, or advantaged, to compete against non-disabled people? (e.g. a wheelchair race)
Up until Mountain Lion, documents in iCloud were organized completely flatly; no folders, just one list of files.
Now, you can add one level of folders, like the way you organize apps on an iPhone. The linked to article asserts that very few people can really cope with large hierarchies of folders, and the paradigm of folders-in-folders is complex.
I agree that, although folders-in-folders was a good solution, it’s a good idea to look for something simpler. However, restricting folders to one level doesn’t solve the fact that folders-in-folders offers more power than no nested folders, so I’m disappointed Apple haven’t been more ambitious.
With the power of modern computers to index and search, labelling documents would offer a brilliant way to organise them. Most people would continue to have a simple, flat list. If you want to group up documents by project, progress, context, audience etc. start applying labels. Documents can have multiple labels, and you can have smart folders, e.g. to list ‘archived newsletters for my photography group’.
Simple; no nesting; but crucially, no loss of power.
I just spent my quickest 10p on a bunch of books (that sadly, I’ll probably never find the time to read).
The books are good quality in-print books, and selling for ~£20 elsewhere.
Google Play are doing the deals. I’m not sure why (probably to get more people signing up to their new store). You can read them on the web, an android device or iPhone/iPad.
What’s happening to the Mac Pro?
