Great read!
These ideas are the result of 14 flights, 14 boarding passes and one, simple question: “How could this experience be better? The solution is by no means perfect and further iterations will see greater levels of refinement. However, as designers our aim should be to question what is otherwise accepted – a relentless mission to better, simplify and improve the experiences of other people.

One of the most amazing parallax effects that i’ve ever seen! Awesome
Nice read on Vintage Zen
Jobs finally came around to the campaign and it went on to be one of the most successful in Apple's history. It's interesting that at the time they wanted to have Robin Williams read the "Crazy Ones" speech for the commercial, but he refused and they went with Richard Dreyfus instead. Now over 15 years later Robin Williams' voice is being used in an Apple commercial.
Also check out the story behind the 'Think Different' Campaign
The track mat has an ink that is embedded with a code. That tells the car where it is on the track and where it is relative to other cars. Each car also a tiny camera under it that can read that information. (Yes, this is why the game costs $200.) The cars have a 50-megahertz processor, a multicolor LED, and Bluetooth low-energy radio to communicate with the smartphone.
So why basically hand Apple several thousand dollars of your own money? Because the top paid charts aren’t organized by the number of sales, but by the amount of money earned. So for a few thousand dollars, a developer can essentially buy a top spot on the App Store charts. A total transfer of $10,000 costs the developer $3,000 in fees, but that can take an app from obscurity to the top 20 list.
Breaking the system for the top spot.
There is a trend among Turkish users who feel like their comment is the best comment of all time and must be seen by wider audience so they rate the games 1 star and game the system.
So much to be seen. Very interesting read. Here is the full article.
A new user interface from Tactus brings real physical buttons that dynamically appear and disappear into a flat touch screen
Tactus provides a new dimension of user interface with a fundamentally unique solution: application-controlled, completely transparent physical buttons that rise up from the touch-screen surface on demand. With the buttons enabled, users can push and type or rest their fingers as they would with any physical button or keyboard. When the buttons are disabled, they recede into the screen, becoming invisible and leaving a smooth, seamless flat touch-screen with maximum viewing area.

The trend of less focus on UI doesn’t mean the UI that is there is less important or easier to make. Quite the opposite.

Yep.
iPhone/iOS tricks which I use a lot
1. Instead of typing a period, just double tap the space bar at the end of the the statement
2. While typing on the keypad, if you want to quickly add a few numbers or special characters (mostly during passwords); press 123 and slide to the key of your choice. The keypad will automatically return to alphabets after that
3. On safari, long press the period to get the .com, .net extensions
4. Want to cache maps for offline use in Google Maps? Type ‘ok maps’ in the search bar
5. Turn off flash light quicker! Imagine you have started the flash light and after some time the phone goes into sleep mode while flash is still on. To turn off the flash, wake it up from sleep mode and just press the camera icon. (No need to bring up control centre and tap on flash again)
6. Use the + volume button on your apple compatible earphones to click snaps via camera app.
7. While using the calculator, swipe across the numbers on the top (left to right or right to left) to delete the last number input
8. Long press the compose icon in mail app to check your drafts
9. Swipe left in Messages app to check the timestamp
10. And the most used feature is: Scroll back to the top in any app (which has a list/feed) by tapping on the status bar (or top of the screen)
Do you know of any other tricks which you use often?
Oh my god! Circles are coming! Why so many circles!
The general sentiment among moviegoers is that this is an uber-advanced version of the iPhone’s Siri, the virtual assistant that more often functions like a bumbling intern. Siri — or her programmers at Apple — clearly got wind of this comparison, and seemingly decided to have some fun with it. Or, Siri is actually really smart and is super mad about the bad publicity. Either way, her responses to questions about the movie Her are a real treat.
That was a quick update to Siri's responses!
Typographic Time Capsule: Exmouth Market Print
Here is the final letterpress version of my print, capturing the colourful history and present-day character of Exmouth Market. This vibrant little street is one of Central London’s hidden gems, packed with independent shops, restaurants, cafés and market stalls.
Researched over several months, this snapshot aims to preserve the street’s unique identity, recording each of the street’s current ‘establishments of note’ and regular market stalls. It also delves into its shady 400-year history, that includes blood sports, a disreputable Victorian tea garden and an atrocious graveyard now buried under the adjacent park.
The decorated initials, spelling ‘Exmouth’, have been inspired by the rich assortment of lettering found on the street or designed to represent its past. (you can read more about them here) The text is also full of little typographic details, such as historical and ornamental characters, which were great fun to add.
