| Fun With Fonts: Type:Rider Is A Beautiful Puzzle-Platform Game On Typography Posted: 06 Nov 2013 03:00 PM PST  “Which tab do I click on to get different font styles?” Steve Jobs asks, turning to look at his team. They have plenty to do before launching the Lisa and one employee dares to say that typeface isn’t a priority issue. With menacing eyes, Jobs fires him on the spot, yelling, “Get out!” Fonts matter. That scene from the new Jobs movie showed that. The Lato font by Google is what makes MakeUseOf such a pleasure to read. Can you imagine a computer that won’t let you switch between Times New Roman and Arial with one click? Type:Rider is a...

| 5 OS X Mavericks Quirks, And How To Deal With Them Posted: 06 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST  It’s hard you get things right the first time around. The same is true for Mavericks, the latest iteration of Mac OS X. The new OS adds a host of new features, all for the very economical price of zilch. Alas, like a lot of new software, it has it’s quirks as well. If the operating system does a commendable job for most people, it acts haggardly for others, with some applications working differently than expected or not at all. At that point you can cross your fingers and wait for an update, or you can take matters into your own... Read the full article: 5 OS X Mavericks Quirks, And How To Deal With Them |
| Who Do You Follow On Twitter? And Why? [We Ask You] Posted: 06 Nov 2013 01:30 PM PST  One talentless celebrity (Katy Perry) recently overtook another even more talentless celebrity (Justin Bieber) to become the most popular person on Twitter. They both surpassed one Lady Gaga (I think she’s related to the British Royal Family) earlier this year. The number of followers these people have amassed is mind-boggling, with Perry having 46 million at the time of writing. Why? God only knows. This sparked the question for this week’s We Ask You, which sees us exploring why people follow who they follow on Twitter. With Twitter preparing to go public with its IPO this could be a rather...

| How To Use Video To Promote Your Freelance Work Posted: 06 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST  $2500 for the crew. $500 for the equipment rental. $1000 for the editing. And that? That’s cheap.

| Microsoft Aims To Lure Gmail Users With A Blunt Comparison Website Posted: 06 Nov 2013 12:30 PM PST  As the old saying goes, when they start insulting you, you’re obviously doing something right. And judging by the comments being thrown Google’s way by Microsoft about Gmail, it’s pretty obvious that Redmond is worried. He’s worried enough about Gmail to build a new website and start a public smear campaign. On the Microsoft-owned and built “Keep Your Email Private“, Microsoft fires the first blunt salvo right away by declaring in big lettering : Think Google respects your privacy? Think again. And with hardly a moment to catch their breath, they charge : Google goes through every Gmail that’s sent...

| 6 Ways Enhanced Steam Makes Valve’s Steam Store Even Better Posted: 06 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST  The Steam store is great, but it isn’t perfect. It lacks quite a few useful features that would make it even better and save you time. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait for Valve to add these features — and they would never add some of them, because they compete with Steam too much. Enhanced Steam is a browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera. It enhances the Steam website when you visit it in your web browser. You probably already use Steam in there anyway, as the built-in Steam store is rather slow and lacks useful features...
