noun
- informal derogatory: a term used to describe people who bought a product that competes with the one you bought, which is probably more popular than your choice, for reasons that you wish to discredit or diminish because you’re secretly afraid or upset that you made the wrong choice.
ORIGIN from fan + boy.
I’m glad the Dogfish Head World Wide Stout inspired this post.

Put another way, there is something called “Android” that truly is open source, in the “take this and do what you want with it under this standard open source license” way. But that “Android” doesn’t include all sorts of things that we, as users, think of as being part of Android — things like Google Maps, Gmail, Android Market, etc. None of those things are open in any sense of the word, but all of them are essential aspects of any consumer phone or tablet running Android.
Reading this, I immediately thought of Darwin and Apple. Sounds like Google is edging Android closer and closer to exactly as open as iOS: there’s a core operating system down there that’s open (in the typical open source sense). But if you want all the good stuff that really defines the platform you’re going to have to get in bed with Google/Apple.
Click to download an AppleScript I wrote to turn the OS X color picker into a standalone app. It even has a nice icon.
Alternatively, you can write this app yourself by putting
choose colorin an applescript and saving it.
Also of note: Hex Color Picker x waffle software. Assign to a QuickSilver hotkey and access it anytime (useful when designing).
Why aren’t Hex numbers built into Color Picker again?
If you save your own script as an app to launch from Quicksilver, add this code before ‘choose color’:
tell application "System Events" to set _frontMostApp to (name of processes whose frontmost is true) set _frontMostApp to item 1 of _frontMostApp tell application _frontMostApp to activate- to avoid the Color Picker window appearing behind the current app.
This is extremely handy for a global color picker. Also, be sure to check out Developer Color Picker by Panic’s Wade Cosgrove (handy built-in UIColor and NSColor support as well as hex values)

Justin Williams lays out a nice summary of recent complaints about the #dickbar saga.
He nails it at the end, and I hope this is in Twitter’s roadmap: geographic “local” does nothing to make me want to look at trends; put trending topics from users I follow (and who they follow) and it would be much more useful. Not that I don’t love seeing about ChrisBrownFAMEAlbum or JonasReunion.
And be sure to follow through and read the entirety of Marco’s post.

Love seeing Aesthetic Apparatus work in the wild. Especially on an iPad.

Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg.
Comic Sans responds to the haters.
