Is a remarkably well put together app. It's one of my favourites.
The in-app purchases of lenses and film is genius. A killer feature left unchallenged by the other 1,000,000 camera apps on the app store. http://hipstamaticapp.comIs a remarkably well put together app. It's one of my favourites.

Parkinson's Law is the bane of project scheduling. In simple terms, the law is explained thusly:
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.

I'm currently reading "The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs".
It's much less the cheesy, DIY Keynote manual that you might think it is, and much more a detailed, stalker-like analysis of all things Steve. Which, if you're a fanboy like me, is kinda great. It's full of classic Steve moments. Here's one of my favourites.In 1983, Jobs was aggressively courting then PepsiCo president John Scully. Apple desperately wanted to bring in someone with Sculley's marketing and managing experience, but despite Steve's charm, Sculley failed to budge. The position would require that Sculley relocate his family to the West Coast, and it paid less than he wanted.
Sculley recounts the conversation that would lead to his decision to take the job. "We were on the balcony's west side, facing the Hudson River, when he finally asked me directly: 'Are you going to come to Apple?' 'Steve,' I said, 'I really love what you're doing. I'm excited by it; how could anyone not be captivated? But it just doesn't make sense. I'd love to be an adviser to you, to help you in any way. But I don't think I can come to Apple.'"
Sculley said Jobs' head dropped; he paused and stared at the ground. Jobs then looked up and issued a challenge to Sculley that would "haunt" him. Jobs said, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?". Sculley said it was as if someone delivered a stiff blow to his stomach.

It's official - Japan is frothing at the mouth for the Apple Tablet.

The Tablet, I say, is going to be Apple’s new answer to what you use for personal portable general computing.

I'm finally reading "Free" by Chris Anderson.
In Zeno's dichotomy paradox, you run toward a wall. As you run, you halve the distance to the wall, then halve it again, and so on. But if you continue to subdivide space forever, how can you ever actually reach the wall? (The answer is that you can't: Once you're within a few nanometers, atomic repulsion forces become too strong for you to get any closer...)
