Po meni najbolji način da se pripremiš za promenu životne sredine i sve što ta promena podrazumeva jeste - to je idealna prilika da se samog ponovo upoznaš, pronađeš, i sastaviš od delova i iskustva koje si doneo sa sobom. Na engleskom mi moglo još kraće da se sroči: Completely changing the country you live in is a perfect excuse to reinvent yourself!

Suočavanje sa novom sredinom je garantovano sa sobom nosi mnogo novina i u spoljašnjem svetu što pomenutu unutrašnju tranziciju utoliko čini lakšom. Bitno je od prvog dana biti spreman na puno odricanja koje se svodi na puno osmatranjanja i učenja, prilagođavanja i uživanja u svemu što je novo.

Sve drugo je luzerski pristup i traženje izgovora da se ne prilagodiš novoj sredini. Interesantno je da što joj se pre prilagodiš, to ćeš više imati vremena da je prilagođavaš sebi. :-) Možda to u Srbiji zvuči otrcano, ali u Americi i Evropi nije - granice su tamo gde ih ti sam postaviš. San Francisko je kao najliberalniji (i najevropskiji) grad u Americi verovatno i najbolje mesto da izbrišeš svoje granice i iznova se definišeš.

Uživaj u tome!

Smatram da je "vredna lekcija" prejak opis komentara na marketinški propust koji je očigledan velikom procentu učesnika u društvenim medijima, pa rekao bih i solidnom broju građana domaćeg interneta.

Ukoliko neko ne propiše zakon ili se sindikati ne slože, cena određenog znanja/usluge/saveta se određuje stalno promenljivim odnosom između ponude i potražnje. Ovde niti potražnja nije postojala (nisu ni imali pojma koju su glupost napravili) niti je ponuda mala. :-)

Na kraju priče dodatno me fascinira što iz SocGen zovu ljude u četvrtak u 10 na kafu, kao da niko nema pametnija posla nego da na taj način, tokom radnog vremena, se druži sa njima sa pretpostavljam idejom da se "popravli utisak".

Evo još jednog besplatnog saveta (koga neće uvažiti, znam):
Na socijalnim medijima ne rade samo mušterije 24/7 već to moraju i firme.

Pozdrav,

Why point to a site that points to another site which requires registration... all that to download one file.
If you're promoting a ripped version of an Android app/widget, why don't you make an effort and upload it to DropBox or something?

Here's a no-fuss download link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4747780/android/geniewidg...

Always be wary of links ending with a period (or comma).
Apparently, Wordpress mis-interpreted the link.

BTW, TAThome looks sexy althogh not necessarily consistent across widgets. Regardless, people will be happy using it and showing off, which is the most important I guess. ;-)

After designing the original Android UI it's nice to see TAT get to Android with their own product. I wonder if they'll go into developing more complex widgets or apps (like Email) or will stay within the simple-but-candy widgets domain.

Cute story. Even though I'm OK financially nor I have extra mouths to feed, I can identify with it.
You may want consider to postpone the gratification of owning a Nexus One. Even though G1 pales in comparison to N1, it's not that bad. I mean, the feeling of novelty will wear off after only month or two of extreme fun. ;-)

I'd like to make a game that leverages TeleNav as a real-world mapping provider.
Count me in!

I'm quite positive that Android tent will grow bigger the most quickly if web developers can convert their their know-how into Android applications without hassles. BONDI initiative sounds great and PhoneGap is slowly working towards implementing it.

Has anyone used BONDI reference implementation SDK and is willing to share impressions?

Ability to access message history would be greatly appreciated, i.e. necessary for most users.
Just as Jan-C., I too have a big issue with application not returning after selecting it from the notification bar. Apparently application has gone into logged out state since you need to start application and log in again. That's another usability bluff right there.

The application is a good start and it may be usable for some people, but there's more to go to live up the potential and a even more to go to say "the best IM app for mobile phones" (at what point it would make no sense to brag).

Cheers!

15 years ago @ Adam Howell dot org - Google's "designer drain" · 1 reply · +1 points

Hm.... perhaps there's an inherent culture clash between "left brained" hard-core (math) geeks and "right brained" free-thinking designers. You need a medium not a manager to reconcile that. ;-)

Jokes aside, how should competent designers be managed?

Could the issue with designers at Google be also accredited to the fact that there's no really any "grand" design vision... perhaps like there's one at places like Apple?

Cheers!

Do you think Google is not the place for visionary designs or user experiences?

That may be the case for Google Search pages but there's a ton more of Google services and products that are used to mine data and do all sorts of behind-the-scenes improvements (to the infrastructure and algorightms) to get better data on the advertising front. Such services and products, i.e. the entire can be somewhat improved from the UX perspective. I would say that there's definitely need to design and user experience innovation at Google.

A question might remain: How to please designers at Google who have other options when confronted with one too many creativity downers?

Cheers!
