The Inside Story of Reddit's Redesign
Goodbye, dystopian Craigslist. There's a new Reddit, and it's all grown up. Reddit’s team of 20 designers—yes, it has a design team—spent more than a year reworking the look and feel of “the front page of the internet.” The new design contines to feature the site’s venerable mascot, Snoo.Reddit On a rainy day in San Francisco, a dozen or so designers sat crammed around a conference table inside Re

The Equifax Breach Exposes America's Identity Crisis
One of the most shocking things about Thursday's announcement of the Equifax data breach is the sheer scale of the numbers involved. Particularly the Social Security numbers. Yes, there have been plenty of large data breaches before—5 million SSNs revealed in a Kansas Department of Commerce leak in July, 80 million in the notorious 2015 Anthem health insurance breach—but with Equifax's revelation
Russians Engineer a Brilliant Slot Machine Cheat---And Casinos Have No Fix
Digging through slot machine source code helped a St. Petersburg-based syndicate make off with millions. In early June 2014, accountants at the Lumiere Place Casino in St. Louis noticed that several of their slot machines had---just for a couple of days---gone haywire. The government-approved software that powers such machines gives the house a fixed mathematical edge, so that casinos can be certa
All About Lady Gaga's Super Bowl Halftime Show Drones
This year's Super Bowl halftime show featured hundreds of swirling, swarming drones. The best Super Bowl halftime shows leave indelible memories, be it a notorious wardrobe malfunction, that goofy Left Shark, or every last second of Beyoncé's two appearances. It's too soon to say whether anything Lady Gaga did tonight will resonate, but at least she offered something new: An army of dancing drones
Let's All Obsess Over This Intricate Map of Alt Music History
It started with the Sex Pistols. Specifically, with the Sex Pistols’ June 4, 1976, show at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. The concert now ranks as one of the most influential performances of all time, up there with Woodstock. But the audience, not the band, made the show famous. Around 30 or 40 people showed up (although thousands would later claim to have attended), and rumor
Instagram Is Ruining Vacation
Eating, praying and loving may be a stated goal of travel. In reality, we seem more obsessed with nabbing the perfect photo. The scalloped outline of Angkor Wat had a way of making itself known in the darkness, and only sharpened as the sun peeked over the horizon. It was January, and I stood at the edge of a lake north of Siem Reap, Cambodia, wielding a paper cup of stale instant coffee in one ha
The Epic Story of Dropbox's Exodus From the Amazon Cloud Empire
If you're one of 500 million people who use Dropbox, it's just a folder on your computer desktop that lets you easily store files on the Internet, send them to others, and synchronize them across your laptop, phone, and tablet. You use this folder, then you forget it. And that's by design. Peer behind that folder, however, and you'll discover an epic feat of engineering. Dropbox runs atop a sweepi

The Future of UI Design? Old-School Text Messages
Texting is easy, familiar, and ubiquitous, so it makes sense that it could become the main channel of communication. If you want a glimpse of how we'll interact with computers in the future, watch Justin Kan use his iPhone. Then you'll see how Kan was able to: 1. source a playlist of southern hip-hop; 2. change his Virgin America ticket to an earlier flight; 3. book a helicopter taxi to make the n
Jobs
It’s impossible to imagine the web as it is today without Steve Jobs in the story. Even something as seemingly simple as proportional width fonts might not exist were it not for Jobs and Apple, to say nothing of the WebKit project and dozens of other contributions. Through it all Jobs and Apple always managed […] It's impossible to imagine the web as it is today without Steve Jobs in the story. Ev
