@Gte @marioguzman So sexy. The rendering of the processor name in bold unapologetic type *behind* that frosty plastic was such a confident statement. Also, that latch. Fabulous.
@daringfireball @gruber Oh! It’s also helpfully adding subtitles (turned off) over (and duplicating) titles on screen. (The Bourne Supremacy, fwiw)
Who is designing the UIs?
@daringfireball I just noticed that Disney+ has a similar problem. Not sure when it started, but I just tried to skip back to catch some dialogue, and it popped up a timeine instead of just rewinding 10s. Grr. @gruber
@daringfireball A lovely looking site, but it uses utterly counterintuitive (i.e. “old”, not “natural”) scrolling to make it move.
@gruber Wow! I had no idea. What's odd is that I have DF whitelisted, but maybe external links are missed by that rule. (Ghostery FWIW). Thanks for the tip.
Draken BlackKnightThe guy on the left was a US Marine Lt. Colonel who was arrested and convicted for selling missiles to Iran.
The guy on the right is a Fox "news" *snicker* "military analyst" who says Iran shouldn't have missiles.
They're the same guy.
@gruber @daringfireball Re: MacBook Neo launch film – do you know whether Apple did it in house, or did they ask omozoc to do it? https://www.youtube.com/@omozoc/videos Really nice work.
@daringfireball An impressive machine for sure, but I'm surprised you didn’t comment on the typography of the name. I'm sure it's in the SF family, but it seems variable on too many axes at once.
