Cal me old fashioned but this is the default bevel and emboss effect from photoshop 6.0

You're not seeing the big picture. Touch ID isn't just another gimmicky feature, it's something Apple spend a lot of money on. They acquired the company that made the technology, and improved it in a way only Apple could.

Today it's a method to unlock your device, but there is no way that this is all Apple wants it to do. The possibilities are endless. Imagine not having to put your password into another website, instead you just touch the home button. Making a purchase on iTunes? Use the scanner instead of the password, etc.

But that's not all. This could easily be used in a retail environment, where a prompt on your screen shows up and says "Buy foobar for $5.99?". Touch ID does the rest.

I see your point, but with this kind of thinking we would have badly designed monochrome tickets forever.

Is it a better design? Yes. Does it account for everything? of course not. Is the technology there? Not quite — but ideas like these could spark something in someone somewhere.

Everything can be done better. Lets aim for that.

To the creator:

I'm sorry. My initial reaction to that was harsh and childish. I wish you the best of luck with your project, and if I can do anything to help please let me know.

If people keep making them, clearly existing solutions aren't quite getting it right, otherwise no one would bother.

> and a .io domain

And that's just Github's domain... Furthermore, Google is currently treating .io as a generic TLD. Considering the exhaustion of .com and .net addresses, is it any surprise that people have adopted another one en masse?

Sigh. So what? The gov will do whatever they want to whomever they want. Bills and rights be damned.

This is a completely self-defeating attitude, that gets a person nowhere and gets in the way of other people.

It's also simply not true, as shown by the change evidenced by the very release of these court documents, in this very article.

Be wary of those that publicly express premature defeat. It's a poisonous attitude.

Edit: the only reason to respond to a troll like this is that the bad attitude is infectious.

Cute.

"Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way"

Soundcloud has done this from the beginning. Nothing new here, move along.

Bandcamp does it too (Soundcloud did it first, though), but it's still nice to see it catching on.

I'm not entirely sold on icon fonts. They look good at large sizes, but as they get smaller they become blurry. I'll stick to creating pixel perfect icons at different sizes.

I'll agree that the sort of pixel perfection you're after at smaller sizes isn't quite there yet (although well-hinted icon fonts are getting pretty close).

However, I think the advantages of icon fonts (packaged as a single file, automatically scalable, automatically retina-ready, colour-adaptive) are pretty compelling.

I closed my Twitter account a few months ago and my thinking and doing has never been clearer. Not to mention, the complete disappearance of anxiety often brought on by social media websites.

This style is what Bootstrap should have been from the start. Well done.
