Responding to feedback because I love you and you were right.

It really sucks. In fact, I wholly believe that many people will turn away from Hack Design because there's essentially a paywall right out of the gate. I don't regret my choice to start with this film, though.

Objectified had a profound impact on me as a designer. I first watched it in a slump of disenchantment that my "web design" skills would never amount to anything valuable or earth-shattering. This film gave me perspective. It showed me that, in extreme cases, design can make the world a better place.

There are moments in this film that give me the shakes. It resonates so deeply with what I believe, and what I want to achieve during my career. I can't think of any better way to help put hackers into the mindset that I believe is most conducive to learning the basics of design.

I hope you figure out a way around paying an exorbitant amount of money to watch the film, and hopefully see you next week for Lesson 1.

Not implemented yet. You'll have that functionality once we launch.

On it, fellas. We weren't expecting so many beta signups... didn't think we needed more dynos until launch ;)

Check back in a few minutes, we're already working on it.

Agreed. Apps like Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, and AfterEffects would be amazing with Retina compatibility.

I think everyone is anxiously awaiting an updated Photoshop, but I'm just not sure how they'd do it. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, but it's a pretty major problem. Ps is all about mapping an image to exact pixels, but that's not practical on a Retina display. A 1x image would appear too small (or pixelated, just as it is now, at 200%), and 2x images would be too small at 100% (Retina actual size) to do pixel perfect detail work.

Maybe there's an obvious solution I'm overlooking.
