– Give Your Employees Unlimited Vacation Days
Some look at business management techniques like this and think they are pipe dreams or flat out silly. I disagree: I think it’s a shift in our culture and a necessary one. Just as sales commissions train salespeople to focus on the wrong results, so do...
We Are The 0.6% →
parislemon:
Hard to pick the most ridiculous element of these updated numbers.
Is it that just 0.6% of Android users have Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) two months after it launched?
Is it that of the remaining 99.4%, only 55% are upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3), which came out over a year ago?
Is it that over 30% are stuck on Froyo (2.2) which is 20 months old?
Is it that 8.5% (something like 10...

Believe me, I’m usually the last to defend Facebook or Google, and I completely agree that the Gmail app is a half-assed disappointment, but I think this is a pretty glib take on “web vs. native.” I’ve been a Cocoa developer for a long time now, and my...

From an Open letter to T-Mobile
Moreover, Android offers consumers the freedom of choice. You can choose from a variety of colors, screen sizes, slide-out keyboards, price points and customization options, as well as enjoy the numerous benefits of open source innovation, cloud services and amazing apps.
Having worked on apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Nokia and Windows Phone I can tell you...

Why Photoshop may only get worse
Apples decision to completely rewrite Final Cut Pro has been met with a lot of mixed opinions. John Gruber has a summary of the backlash here -http://daringfireball.net/2011/06/final_cut_pro_x_backlash
It seems clear to me that it was done in order to ultimately progress the app, extend it’s future and no doubt update what was a legacy code base. It will have been this update in legacy code that...

Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Labeling the Back button →
Makes complete sense - have already sent this over to the rest of the guys over at The App Business
mrgan:
Most “deep” apps require some amount of navigation, moving the user deeper into child views and then back out to the parent view. That navigational backtracking is typically done with a “Back” button, positioned in the top-left corner, and denoted by a pointed left side. You’ve all seen...

Build: Announcing Ghostbusters! →
Don’t think I’m going to make it this year but here’s one more reason to bag a ticket if you can. ( I also watched this last weekend, so I’m just a tiny bit less gutted for not going)

Pretty stoked to announce that we’ll be screening Ghostbusters as the headline feature at this year’s Build Film, taking place on Monday evening in the Black Box.

dbox: Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions →
Very handy for that faux vintage camera effect.
dbox:
I recently did a google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close.
Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me…

Pretty cool pics in this post…

Growing up I was a huge apple fan-boy (fine, still am.) The first NY apple store in Soho opening was probably the coolest thing that happened to me between the ages 6 and 12. For a while I would spend almost every weekend there. Every year for halloween I was a mac, and I made a habit of shaving…

Interesting point. I can still see success for Project Meteor if it extends to be a UI design app. Deisgning natively in the browser is one thing designing natively in Objective C and Java is another.

Lately there’s been a campaign for a better web design app. Photoshop and other editors just aren’t cutting it when the web is so flexible. Different screen sizes and mobile device...
