Funny, then you should know that Foone hates hacker news, mostly because they're appropriating Foone's content to push Hacker News and Y Combinator importance ("stealing links" is how Foone put it). A skeuomorph (also spelled skiamorph, /ˈskjuːəˌmɔːrf, ˈskjuːoʊ-/)[1][2] is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original. With a turntable and a needle that replicates a vintage record player, this retro toy grows with your child as they develop. The new version is much more suspicable to breakage and hence, a better chance at profits for the company.

I would invite you to submit any examples of how you think modern toys are made of "mostly" standard tooling. I assume all of us here on HN are the type-of-person who as a child would have been fascinated about how mechanical and electromechanical toys and gizmos worked - and probably disassembled the thing to our parents' chagrin and figured out how it works (and hopefully put it back together correctly! compounded over 25 years (to mark your "mid-90s" reference) would be a 64% increase, which lines up with your 50+% pretty directly.One of the worse aspects of growing old is having to watch things previously done well and delivering genuine thoughtful value mutate into illusory branded trash done just well enough to fleece consumers.

And while I didn't look at the pictures extremely deeply I bet they did part and assembly reduction using the following methodology. The sharp steel tines on a music box comb can cause injuries if mishandled (I remember this happening to a child in my kindergarten class back in the early ’70s. The original one required you to crank it up to spin the disc, because spinning the disc was vital to the operation of the original music box.An Android phone is primarily a device for media consumption and the collection of your personal data, but it can be tricked into being more than that. The new one has much better sound quality and a flip-over semicircle that gives it two full circles of things to point to.
