I dislike this. Where is the 'call for me to do something'?
Why are there blurred people on an escalator(?). Don't make me pick between concise and reliable.
I'm more than willing to distill your messaging if it would help in any way. If only as an alternative.

There is some truth in this, yet I'd describe myself as fortunate and passionate, not elite.

It's pretty simple.
Do what you love doing. If you don't, move on.
I love what I do. It's not a about money. It's about doing good by doing what you love.

Re:My Experience in the Educational Apps Market – 2013 report

I'm wondering whether Apple will ever offer either:
1] a dedicated education app store, invisible to non-volume purchasers.
2] a mechanism for allowing volume purchases of in-app content.

I'm not a fan. I just don't get why they adapted FF Meta. It's overly complex (the 'g' for example), and not a great display font. They should strive for simplicity, rather than individuality.
Android's Roboto and iOS's Helvetica Neue achieve this, my personal preference being for for latter.

Fuzziness is subjective. iOS uses a similar font rendering method to OS X, without subpixel rendering. See:

I find this a doubled-edged sword. Monocultures are said to foster a culture of laziness, apathy. This hasn't been the case with WebKit.
Don't get me wrong - competition is healthy. I'm simply thinking of how Jovinder experiences the web.

As has been mentioned, the main header is a typographic curiosity, not a bug. Good design is often controversial. Programmer mentally is at odds with this notion.
I like what they've done. It has brought greater focus to the article content. I'm all for bigger type, and the need to scroll is a non-issue in my mind.

Care to elaborate? I think it's a well-worked responsive design. The only annoyance is the navigation bar flitting up and down on scroll.

I can see the benefit of having a single codebase, but how would this fare against the likes of Unity, where the optimal backend is used for each platform?

Re:Bootstrap 2.1 released

One of my main beefs with Bootstrap was that it felt cramped. The switch to 14px body text with 20px line height addresses that. Personally, I'd increase the default line height a bit more.
