I call bull.
It seems that a survey company, namely one conducted by Chicago-based consulting firm User Centric, seems to indicate the following: The iPhone’s keyboard is slower than your average phone keypad. How much slower? Roughly 2x as slow, taking study participants almost twice as long to compose messages than it did on other QWERTY-equipped […]

Long-form online content has been usurped by all things bite-size, whether it be widgets, YouTube clips, or micro blogs powered by services such as Tumblr, Jaiku and Twittergram.
Agreed. Another good observation:

Inspired by Khoi Vinn’s and Mark Boulton’s presentation Grids are Good, we’ve decided to take a deep look in the articles about grid-based designs. We’ve read through over 50 articles and selected some of the most important and interesting facts web-developers should know about the grid-based approach. Besides, we’ve listed the most useful references, tutorials […]

Two similar questions posed today on O’Reilly Mac DevCenter and Lifehacker got me thinking. Is there really a competition between .Mac Web Gallery and Flickr? Or, are they instead complementary?I gave the new .Mac Web Gallery a spin last night. It’s fast and very easy to use. Literally within minutes, I created a new event […]
Good rebuke to exactly the mentality manifested in my previous post, .Mac Wishlist.

MacRumors, AppleInsider, AppleGazette, TUAW and I’m sure others are all hinting at a possible .Mac refresh to be announced at the Apple Media Event today, based on a “scheduled maintenace” outage to coincide with the event.I’m hoping to see at least some of these being announced today:
Push email for iPhone and Mail.app, hopefully using IMAP […]
OK, for the life of me I can’t understand how iPhone’s launch caught Google Mail so unprepared.They do have a renewed love for all things Apple. Its top brass sits on Apple’s board. They’ve partnered to deliver YouTube content to AppleTV and iPhone. They’ve been into mobile applications for quite a while. So who forgot […]
