Posted to Amazon Redesign, Oct 27, 2014 By the looks of it, not everyone is getting served this design. But here's a screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/2n2f0k1M1k3M
...and no comment on my related items. haha can't beat wolf t-shirts and yoga mats.
Posted to Square (redesign), in reply to Aaron R , Jun 14, 2014 hmm... not for me. i was on their site only a few days ago and it was still showing their previous design.
Posted to Magic Mouse Charger? , Mar 24, 2013 I use rechargeable batteries. Cheaper than the mouse charger, and works perfect for me: http://amzn.to/14nlXx5
Posted to Terrible copywriting on Apple.com, in reply to Leigh Hibell , Mar 23, 2013 The slogan "Think Different" is telling YOU to think different, not that Apple is thinking different. See the original commercial for context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImE8ZyoKUaQ.
Plus, we're not talking about a slogan here. It's about the awful copywriting throughout the entire page. Did you even read the first paragraph?
"What makes an iPhone unlike anything else? Maybe it’s that it lets you do so many things. Or that it lets you do so many things so easily. Those are two reasons iPhone owners say they love their iPhone. But there are many others as well."
That last sentence just falls off a cliff.
Posted to Ask DN: I have an interview, how should I prepare?, in reply to Aaron Sagray , Mar 23, 2013 Thanks for the advice, Aaron. This is really good to know. But from what I can tell, the skills test is going to be written on paper.
Posted to Ask DN: Do you create icons or use icon sets?, in reply to Chris Rodemeyer , Mar 20, 2013 A quick follow up - do you create the icons in Photoshop or in Illustrator?
Posted to Ask DN: What tools do you use to save images for web?, Mar 20, 2013 CodeKit has awesome image compression. This is what Chris Coyier recommends. http://incident57.com/codekit/

We have a shared product design folder that houses all our design files. Only the designers have editing capabilities, everyone else in the company has view-only access. It has worked really well for our team.
What do you use instead of dropbox?
