		<title>Phone Wars: iPhone 4 First Impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As long-time iPhone owners we&#8217;ve done our share of railing against AT&#38;T. Time to put our money where our mouth is. We&#8217;ve ordered an iPhone 4 (with AT&#38;T) and a Droid Incredible from Verizon. In 30 days we return one. Two phones enter&#8230;
We&#8217;ve had the new iPhone for three days now. Since there are plenty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade-offs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great products require trade-off. Which features should you promote with big, glossy buttons? Which materials or technologies should you use, and at what cost? When should you release it? How heavily should you test it first? Should you fix a crash bug that affects 2% of users or a cosmetic bug that affects 90%?
These trade-offs [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trusting Designers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some concise and worthwhile thoughts on design and designers from Kevin Fox, taken somewhat out of context:
Data-driven design is a vital tool for hill-climbing iteration of a site, but you should take great care not to use it as an appeals process whenever you and your designer reach an impasse. It sidelines the designer into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crockford on Feature-Driven Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some well-chosen, practical words from Douglas Crockford on the dangers of overly feature-driven design:
﻿﻿We see a lot of feature-driven product design in which the cost of features is not properly accounted. Features can have a negative value to consumers because they make the products more difficult to understand and use&#8230;It turns out that designs that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Installing applications on a Mac can be confusing. Anecdotally, I&#8217;ve observed friends and family struggle with it, and it makes sense that they would. Luckily, it doesn&#8217;t have to be that way: app developers can make it easier, though few have.
Background
Traditionally, software applications are installed via an installer: a script that copies files to your [...]]]></description>

		<title>3G iPhone Isn&#8217;t Cheaper After All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The excitement over the $199 iPhone has so far masked an important fact: apparently, the data plan for the 3G iPhone will be $30 USD per month (plus $5 for text messages), rather than the $20 that current iPhone users are paying. Doing the math:

A first-generation 8GB iPhone costs $399. Two years of data service [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Lego Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After dinner a few Thanksgivings ago we got bored. So we did what anyone would do: create a short spoof Civil War documentary with Legos. I should&#8217;ve posted this ages ago.
