Really?

This is the new iPhone ad?

Samuel L Jack­son and date night?

Just mediocre. Mediocre shouldn’t be used in the same breath with the name Apple.

IKEA isn’t afraid to step out of it’s com­fort zone.
Yes­ter­day we dis­cov­ered this vid on Google+ it’s going Viral. This is a smart idea from IKEA.  Peo­ple look to them to solve just this kind of prob­lem. For many this will fit the bill for get­ting their small liv­ing room under con­trol. It’s not going to set the world on fire but with the global reach the store has and the num­ber of IKEA shop­pers this could be a nice niche prod­uct for them.

from IKEA:

IKEA intro­duces UPPLEVA, a com­pletely new range that inte­grates smart TV and sound sys­tem with fur­ni­ture. UPPLEVA brings beauty and func­tion­al­ity to the liv­ing room, solv­ing the prob­lem of cable clut­ter and miss-match between TV and furniture.

Not a sur­pris­ing idea from the folks that brought us hyper­card. Hyper­card launched so many edu­ca­tional apps it would make iOS dizzy.
Look­ing for­ward to this being real like iBooks to empower teach­ers, stu­dents, any­one to share. We built numer­ous apps back in hyper­card days.

But hav­ing a Cos­mo­naut is almost better.

We really couldn’t decide which video we should add to our post; so we did both. So excited about this won­der­ful sty­lus for use with our iPad. Excel­lent design and detail by folks with an under­stand­ing of how we really use things. Check out the prod­ucts at Stu­dio Neat. You’ll find some­thing thought­ful that you’ll want to use all the time.

 

Here’s how it’s made:

 

This is how it blasts off.

Respon­sive web design is a com­bi­na­tion of fluid grids and images with media queries to change lay­out based on the size of a device view­port. It uses fea­ture detec­tion (mostly on the client) to deter­mine avail­able device capa­bil­i­ties and adapt accord­ingly.
— Ethan Mar­cotte

Guess what? Respon­sive web design is a trend­ing topic but it’s not a new idea. We can remem­ber talk­ing about the same ideas back in Chicago at an Amer­i­can Cen­ter for Design con­fer­ence in the early 90’s.

It’s the tech­nol­ogy that has changed. Code that could rec­og­nize a device type and ren­der con­tent that remains with­out form until deliv­ery is the holy grail of con­tent viewing.
