ne pagal procesorių kiekį serveriuose, bet pagal darbuotojų kiekį kompanijoje. dabar jie giriasi, kad turi apie milijoną “subscribers”. galbūt tai tik reiškia, kad klientų kompanijose dirba milijonas darbuotojų? vėliau pradės skaičiuoti darbuotojų kojas, rankas, o galiausiai ir pirštus. “su mūsų serveriais dirba penki milijonai programuotojų pirštų!”.

iOS UI Proportions (from Principia Arbiter: New Visual Proportions for the iOS User Interface, via Timoni West)
One thing I’ve noticed in a lot of custom iOS UIs (particularly ones designed by engineers) is a lack of attention to proportions. As this diagram demonstrates, the standard iOS UI has a visual rhythm—a major rhythm of 44 pixels and a minor rhythm of 11 pixels to be exact. When you work within this system for your sizing, spacing, and padding, your app will generally look and feel harmoniously iOS-like, even if the UI is heavily custom. When you don’t, it tends feels subtly off (as in the iPod playlist screen example given in the article).

Internet artists, for all of their digital-native wisdom, should know better than to think .JPEGs are a viable commodity when they’ve seen multi-billion dollar industries like music, film, and newspapers run around like baffled idiots for the past decade trying to figure out why they can’t sell MP3s, MOVs, and PDFs like they used to in traditional media.
