Amazing video, but even more fascinating is how it evolved with the help of a computer program.
"Fifteen hundred legs with rods of random length were generated in the computer. It then assessed which of these approached the ideal walking curve. Out of the 1500, the computer selected the best 100. These were awarded the privilege of reproduction. Their rods were copied and combined into 1500 new legs. These 1500 new legs exhibited similarities with their parent legs and once again were assessed on their resemblance to the ideal curve. This process went through many generations during which the computer was on for weeks, months even, day and night. It finally resulted in eleven numbers denoting the ideal lengths of the required rods. The ultimate outcome of all this was the leg of Animaris Currens Vulgaris" - http://www.strandbeest.com/beests_leg.php

The technique is called stop frame animation and inherently has a bit of camera/object jitter. Apple could have eliminated this but it is more authentic to keep the retro-styling and hand made vibe together with the theme of the creativity. For a great stop frame animation example check out Gondry's music video for the white stripes made with legohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTH71AAxXmM

Middleman has a little known WYSIWYG blog editor extension that focuses on easy content creation and editing. It is a paid extension but it does address the points raised in the article http://middleman-blog-editor.awardwinningfjords.com

We (Sendicate) agree with your points. We have templates that automatically resize images, use readable fonts and colors, emphasize text and readability on mobile (even with multiple columns and dynamic layouts). We also automatically create a plain-text version without re-writing links for tracking. We have learnt from the mistakes of others and tried to solve the problems you describe. Email can be horrible, but it doesn't have to be.
The good news is that you can decide how to view your emails. For Apple Mail try running "defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true"

Why is it any worse than HTML web sites? ;-P But seriously, doesn't it depend on the implementation just like everything else?

This is fantastic!
I simply created 3 graphs based on email client data featuring a dendogram, circular dendogram, and circular packing. It charts the relationship of OS, device type, email client type, and client name. http://minus.com/m5VsIg2QvP2R3

Instead of a logo imagine it was a word or phrase that encapsulated the complex ideas and values of Yahoo. Does data drive or validate the meaning? Can it? Design has its own inherent semantics and semiotics in much the same way language does.
chadyj | 13 years ago | on: Why did infinite scroll fail at Etsy?
Seems like infinite scroll is a solution in search of a problem. Users don't want to see more results. They want to see the right results. Etsy seems to fail in this regard and has dozens of pages of irrelevant results. A better move would be to rethink search relevancy and discovery.
chadyj | 13 years ago | on: Why Django and Rails CMS Are So Rare
My agency wrote a rails CMS called Atreides powering at least 20 sites with high traffic and recently open sourced it. It was very much inspired by Tumblr's simplicity but adds a lot of flexibility particularly with images, videos, social components, analytics, and mixed media content creation. http://the88.github.com/Atreides/

Wouldn't you say there was room for improvement?
chadyj | 13 years ago | on: Sendicate: Reinventing Email Newsletters, And More Proof That Email Isn’t Dead
The journalist Paul Carr is referencing an earlier article where he talks about his misconception that email is dead. http://pandodaily.com/2012/10/17/yesterday-i-thought-email-w...
Even pg this week mentioned that email might not be the optimal tool and there might be a better tool to solve some of the problems (http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html), and there is no shortage of email is dead posts and comments here on HN.
chadyj | 13 years ago | on: Sendicate: Reinventing Email Newsletters, And More Proof That Email Isn’t Dead
It is no secret that email as a whole needs to be updated for the myriad of modern uses, and I believe this is going to happen through new components that make parts of the ecosystem better. Email is the sum of its parts from protocols, servers, clients, content, users, and little by little we are seeing progress.

So far I have been using Macstumbler in passive mode, but it takes a long time. So far I have only hacked my own test 12345 password
