Bits & pieces
The new iTunes
What's that traffic light on the new iTunes window? And, it's nice with that new icon but couldn't they have rethought the entire thing? iTunes feels like an unfitting name for something that does so many different things (you don't go to the "Music Store" to buy a book, do you?)

Pictos, the Icon Font
The normal practice among web developers for icons have always been to embed them in images and use CSS to display. We do this so much, we hardly think about it at all any more. Pictos, however, is a clever way of taking a step away from this. Instead of using images, you embed the Pictos font and use that instead.

Simplenote gets an update
My favorite note taking app, Simplenote, has just been updated — or perhaps upgraded is a better word. Along with a new more visually appealing graphical reform, we're seeing tons of new features and updates to the service itself.

Camera Phone Lenses
Fisheye, macro and wide angle lenses available for use with camera phones.

High quality short about the chaos that a little lottery ticket can set about.

My iOS Pet Peeve

August 18th, 2010

For me, there’s one thing missing when it comes to the conceptual design behind Apple’s iOS. That for devices which are clearly made for media consumption (although certainly not exclusively), there’s still no simple way of actually getting the media onto the device.

Say I have a tube map in PDF format for example. Shouldn’t I just be able to easily copy over this file from my computer? It bugs me that there’s still no easily accessible file system structure in the OS. I’m not saying I need root access, I just want to be able to save stuff. It’s equally (if not more) frustrating that you can’t save a file (for example a video) from Mobile Safari straight to the device.
