This looks so interesting but it won’t work in many places because it doesn’t support the EMV standard .
Q. Will my Coin work outside the U.S.? A. Not in all cases.
U.S.-based customers: Coin will work overseas, but we recommend that you bring a backup card when you travel.
Customers located outside of the U.S.: Coin does not support EMV yet. If the country you live it requires it we recommend holding off your purchase for now.

The iQi Mobile easily plugs into your iPhone or iPod Touch then slips into the back of any soft protective case. Once fitted to the iPhone, it can be charged on any Qi compatible charging pad.
Maybe this would make me go back to using a case with my iPhone

When Apple was confronted with the antenna-gate situation back in 2010 everybody was amused by Steve Job’s response :
Just avoid holding it that way.
Steve’s response was eventually turned into a catchphrase: “You’re holding it wrong”. But Apple eventually fixed the problem and moved on.
Similar to Apple, Lululemon also had its stint with public outcry because of too-sheer yoga pants back in March. And today Lululemon’s founder took that same page from Steve’s book:
Quite frankly, some women’s bodies just actually don’t work
Or in catchphrase mode: “You’re wearing it wrong”
Lululemon has always struck me very similar to Apple in the sense that they provide above market quality at premium prices. But this answer makes me doubt that assessment, specially considering the report that the issue was because of too lax quality standards :
Fabric is the key factor and while the fabric involved may have met testing standards, it was on the low end of lululemon’s tolerance scale
Which is the great difference between Apple and Lulu, one prides on the ever raising standards of production and finish , the other one seems to be starting the race to the bottom by lowering the quality.
Don’t get me wrong, Lululemon’s still better that many of the other yoga/sports wear company’s but that small difference in their culture will make the difference in the long run.
This of course applies to anyone trying to sell anything.

Just launched my first iOS application for the iPad:
Tiny Furniture is a very simple application made to answer just one question: this idea that I have for this room, will it work?
It’s very easy to use.

I’ve been hearing a lot on twitter about how good and inspiring XOXO was this year.
They’ve published the videos and I’ve finally started watching them and many are rally good.
I created a youtube playlis t and been adding them in as I watch them.

My new job started 2 weeks ago, UI Developer. One task I’m assigned to right now is choosing the typography for the new redesign underway.
This it got me checking old bookmarks including this one. This article is a good introduction to the main typeface families and how mixing them in contrasting combinations can be use to great effect.

The secret is reading…
But_how_ you read matters too.
You need to be critical and always thinking. You need to do the mental work required to hold an opinion.

http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.ca/2013/05/introducing-actions-in-inbox-powered-by.html?m=1
Actions allows developers to embed quick actions to allow users to execute directly from their inbox in response to an email. For example, add a movie to a queue, review a movie already watched or check in to a flight.
I checked the API and the most flexible one is the Go-To Action because it allows the email to start a complex process directly from an email. But I love the power of the simplicity of the One Click Actions.
Wonder if these will be supported by other email clients.
