[Chatter] "Where everybody knows your name ..."

[cole2kb]

Google is much less strict then Apple, google needs to enforce the holo guide lines more strictly.

Definitely this. I don't want any app store telling me what is good or bad. I do, however, want the apps to look and behave the same across my devices (save for different layouts depending on screen size.)

Anyway, watching The Punisher (2004) for the first time.

I would disagree, and I'm a developer. Google's image for Android and Android applications is labeled as "Design Guidelines" (see here). A great part of Android's open-platform philosophy is that developers can push the boundaries of what the platform offers in terms of UI and UX, creating new and different approaches to mobile application design. I would argue that they need to push their image for Android out to more consumers through stock devices (such as the Nexus and hopefully upcoming Motorola phones) instead of tightening the reins, so to speak, on how apps work/look/feel.

I'm working on launching a platform-independent mobile service with T-Mobile in the next six months, and the majority of features I've had to remove from the project's build outline are because other platforms (iOS, Windows Phone) don't allow the same functionality for apps as Android does. I'd hate to see Google restrict anything developers can currently do.

Of this I am aware.



Yes,indeed..but we all have to agree that the way IAP have flooded both android and iOS is sad...right?

It is unfortunate.

I am just talking about UI not functionality, you can have a beautiful looking app with no loss to functionality like pocket casts.

I don't think Apple tells me what app is good or bad, but they certainly help make the app experience good.

pocket casts.

This app is sweeet...also Patrick I was listening to the developer of said pocket casts talk about developing for android like it was some momentous achievement that could hardly be completed...I can't believe it's that difficult..right?

Must find this case for my phone.

And there is UI and UX functionality that comes from the freedom to use platform-standard guidelines or to use something new or different as well as, or in place of, the platform-standard guidelines. What Google needs to do is make sure all developers are aware of the design guidelines and the importance of the principles behind those guidelines. I follow them as closely as I feel I can for a specific app or service, but have gone a different route on multiple occasions to much success. When I don't follow the guidelines closely, I still make my decisions based on UI and UX principles that are very similar to the ones that the guidelines are based off of.

Edit: this is odd chatter talk.

No talk is odd in Chatter.

Punched out the crappy screen protector, used some goo-gone on the edges to get the glue off the top green piece so not to get on my phone...and...

HTC One is protected!

Got to give a shout out to my local sprint store and thier rep Ed t for the ONLY place (I checked 10 different stores within a 5mile radius) to have the color scheme I wanted. I usually dog sprint a lot so giving them so props this time. Amazon was too slow. And thanks for HTC for making the Ones all the same size so I could get my at&t One case at a sprint store.

Exit my soap box

That case makes me so sad. Such a pretty phone all covered up.

well all elements want to reach 8 electrons in the outer shell and the only elements that do have that are noble gases( hydrogen is special,it only has two yet it is full)

What about helium, lithium, and beryllium? They can only go up to 2 valence electrons.

Love Otterbox. That will keep that phone pretty for a very long time!

But he won't ever know it! lol

Considering it's a metal phone, a dent because of no case would be so much worse.

The conversation with that physicist should be incredibly interesting..and thankfully my theory doesn't depend entirely on the number of valance electrons...Let's just say Lagrangian points may be applicable to atoms..Maybe i'll find out tomorrow,i'm kind of expecting to be handed to me in a box with a little bow on top.What is left of my dignity ...lol

I can a couple developers have said that once.
