Back on May 26, Wired magazine released a version of their publication designed specifically for Apple’s iPad. I promptly bought a copy for $4.99 to see what the brave new world of tablet-specific media content would look like. The app is pretty impressive. Though there are some complaints — like trying to tell the difference between [...] Found here. Interesting video. Two days ago, the Hayabusa, a Japanese unmanned spacecraft, finally returned from its seven-year, 1.25 billion-mile trip. It plunged to the earth in a beautiful blaze, which NASA astronomers captured on video. That clip has since become a viral hit on YouTube. The Hayabusa launched on May 9th, [...]
Apple has this to say about their Design Award: The Apple Design Awards 2010 recognize iPhone OS applications that demonstrate technical excellence, innovation, superior technology adoption, high performance, and outstanding design.

Some insightful observations that are even more true today: 1) More features isn’t better, it’s worse. Feature [...] Google recently announced it was venturing into the crowded waters of television by producing a gadget called Google TV. From what I can gather, this will be a set-top box that will allow you to use Google to search for fun online video content that you’ll be able to show on your television. Here’s Google’s video [...] Who doesn’t love a good gadget? I know I certainly love mine! It’s almost comical how these executives — schooled in the art of war and talking strategy — can turn into your every day gadget freak when talking about the iPad. But here’s the real kicker. Ralph de la Vega, the CEO of AT&T’s [...] Nice addition to an already cool application. Apparently streaming films and TV shows from Netflix on an iPad itself isn’t enough. So Netflix has gone ahead and revamped the application with some video-out support. Via ZDNet. |
