We’ve reached the Uncanny Valley, and everyone except these fucking computers knows what I’m talking about.

@holman While I agree with your points, that's not really the meaning of "uncanny valley." And what's with the Pixar story??

Did Flint, Michigan Steal our Airport Carpet? | Portland Monthly (www.portlandmonthlymag.com)

Portland Monthly has obtained exclusive phototographic evidence of the offending rug (right). Incriminating photos found on Tumblr confirm suspicious similarities between the two carpets.

@aaronpk Agreed. Desktop apps that try to update on launch are the worst. I'm interested in finding gentler update notification styles.

@maxticket Maybe an indicator that a new version is available or that a new feature was launched rather than actually interrupting the app

@aaronpk Is there a more effective, less intrusive way you'd prefer? Do you know of any examples?

@maxticket I think the problem is that I often don't open an app until I need it, so anything that gets in the way of me doing the thing is annoying.

I am not often impressed with new features that apps tell me about via a splash screen on launch, but the new Spotify playlist preview feature is pretty great. https://news.spotify.com/us/2015/01/22/touch-preview/
