We started by finding the best apps for every platform: Android, Windows, macOS, and iPhone/iPad. Research for these pieces was exhaustive. So, just as I chose twenty years ago to focus my attention on the tiny NeXT platform (which sold fewer systems in its entire history than Apple’s iPad sold in its first weekend), we’ve now chosen to focus our collective attention on what that platform has become-Apple’s Mac OS X, iPhone, and iPad platforms-platforms where we feel we can make our software the best it can be.To that end, we've been hard at work researching the best to-do apps, trying to find the right ones for various use cases. And again, our goal is not to make the most money-it’s to make the best software. But I don’t think that software would be any better than what we’ve already made, and it would distract us from improving the software we’ve written. The development environment and user experience have continued to improve over time and are now better than ever.Īre there other successful platforms out there? Certainly! Could we make more money by bringing our software to those platforms? Maybe. Fast forward a second decade: now, in 2011, that same NeXT development environment is not only the basis of the Mac platform, but also the wildly successful iPhone and iPad platforms. I decided I could guarantee that I would always be able to run those apps by buying my own NeXT (a significant investment at that time)-so I bought one, left my job, and started working (with Omni’s co-founders) to try to help the tiny NeXT platform survive and flourish.įast forward a decade: in 2001, NeXT’s development environment became the foundation for the new Mac OS X platform, and we considered its survival relatively assured. I realized that I had a choice: I could spend five years writing an app with a so-so user experience for a broader audience, or I could spend those same five years writing several much more polished apps for the NeXT platform-with its much smaller audience and less certain future. When I encountered the NeXT platform in 1989, I realized that it not had only a much more polished user experience than all the other UNIX platforms, it also had a much more productive development environment. I started my career developing software for the broadest possible set of UNIX platforms in the ’80s: I figured that would guarantee that I’d always be able to run the code I was writing. ![]() To do that, we’ve chosen to focus our attention on the development platform which we feel makes us the most productive. Here’s how our CEO Ken answered this question on our forums when someone asked this a while back:Īt the Omni Group, our goal is not to make as much money as we can our goal is to make the best software that we can make.

It's where it started, and it's where people are most used to consuming news, but if I wanted to say what the real pulse of the whole brand is, it's even beyond any platform.

So that's why a lot of people were reaching out to them and doing stories on it, because they were like, "Well, what should publishers do? You could just get deleted and whatever, you know!" So I think that was the situation, but it helped us. So then you have all this digital that had a heavy presence on social media, and people were nervous.

Just like drugs of abuse, romantic love - “a normal altered state” - starts with euphoria and ends with craving. In follow-up papers, Brown and her frequent collaborator, the biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, have argued that “romantic love is a natural (and often positive) addiction that evolved from mammalian antecedents by 4 million years ago as a survival mechanism to encourage hominin pair-bonding and reproduction,” which can be seen across human cultures around the world. ![]() “Signs of lack of emotion control” happened for weeks or months after the initial breakup, the authors found, including “inappropriate phoning, writing or e-mailing, pleading for reconciliation, sobbing for hours, drinking too much, and/or making dramatic entrances and exits into the rejecter’s home, place of work or social space to express anger, despair or passionate love.” (And there you have the shape of every romantic narrative.)īrown says that when she tells heartbroken reporters about her research, there’s often a sense of relief about all this happening at a neurophysiological level, so it’s more real. Indeed, in the 2010 paper that came from this tearful inquiry, all 15 of her crestfallen participants reported thinking about their beloved for over 85 percent of their waking hours, and all reported a yearning to rejoin in emotional union with their former partners. “We crave the other person just as we crave nicotine or pain pills you want to be near the other person, you’re constantly thinking about them, we even do dangerous things sometimes to win them back - we don’t eat or sleep.” “In retrospect, it’s not surprising that the same areas of the brain that were active in the brains of cocaine addicts were active in these people who were heartbroken looking at a picture of their former romantic partner,” Brown tells Science of Us. The brains of the forlorn study subjects looked a lot like drug addicts fiending for a fix. The flyers had one sentence highlighted: “Have you just been rejected in love but can’t let go?” Soon enough, Brown recalls, she had college students - who were asked to bring a photo of their beloved with them - crying in the brain scanner. If you ever wondered about the psychology of breakups, we’ve got you covered.Ī few years ago, Yeshiva University neuroscientist Lucy Brown and her research team distributed flyers across several campuses in the New York area to recruit participants for a brain-imaging study.

Last Light’s plot weaknesses are readily visible, too. The only time you ever actually hear him speak is during load screens when he verbally explains what’s coming up next. In a clever twist, these weren’t written by others when found, Artyom will write notes to himself in his journal, working around his silent posture and providing players with one of two ways you get insight from the protagonist himself. You can even see things from Artyom’s point of view in the form of journal entries strewn around the tale’s various chapters. You can spend a great deal of time listening to these conversations, building context for and understanding of the plight of the metro’s survivors, holding on to life by a mere string.

Some of the better locations successfully transport players to this fictional place and time in question. Exploring the various outposts and settlements you encounter conjures up tangible thoughts about what a post-apocalyptic situation would be like. The mood and atmosphere pad gametime with something more meaningful than loading screens and bad dialogue (though Last Light’s dialogue is littered with sometimes-abysmal Russian accents). The latter are what make Last Light truly shine, for it’s here that you get to experience the careful attention to detail that 4A Games has packed into its dystopian adventure. Last Light presents itself linearly, but it does a wonderful job of setting up plenty of context for your actions and goes to great lengths to make itself more than just another shooter as it alternates between missions that are action-packed and those that are slower and more deliberate.

According to the manufacturing company, the balloons also conform to multiple US, EU, and Canadian safety and regulatory standards. BadassballooncoĪccording to the brand website, the company’s biodegradable balloons are made from 100% natural latex sustainably harvested from rubber trees.

Are There Real Biodegradable Balloons Out There? ![]() When you blow up a biodegradable balloon and leave it out in the sun, for instance, it will begin to decompose at a slower rate than other kinds of balloons and can take years as these materials slowly degrade over time. The major problem with biodegradable balloons is that they can leach chemicals into the air when exposed to sunlight and heat.For example, biodegradable balloon manufacturing has been linked to air and water pollution due to the level of chemicals used in this process. These additives aren’t just harmful to humans they’re also harmful to the environment.They’re also manufactured with preservatives to extend their lifespan and include plasticizers and colored dyes that make them look like real balloons when inflated. Unfortunately, as much as it might sound like they are really degradable when you watch those attractive adverts, most “biodegradable balloons” contain more than just latex.It’s also water-soluble, which makes it easy to deflate and dispose of.Īlthough these balloons are often referred to as biodegradable, this term is misleading because they don’t biodegrade in the natural environment - they break down only when sunlight and air.
