Developers begin seeing new Apple iPhone hardware and iOS 7 in usage logs
Currently under development, traces of Apple’s new iPhone and iOS
software have begun surfacing in app usage logs. Developers have
contacted The Next Web to share references to a new iPhone identifier
and the next big operating system update for the smartphone and tablet
devices: iOS 7.
One developer showed us that Apple has been testing hardware relating to
a new ‘iPhone6,1′ identifier, powered b
iOS Do Not Disturb mode fails to turn off for some on New Year's Day
Like clockwork, Apple's iOS devices are experiencing another
time-related bug on New Year's Day. A new Do Not Disturb feature in IOS 6
is failing to disable itself for some today, leaving calls and
notifications muted for longer than usual. Not everyone is affected, but
one of our own iPads with the scheduled Do Not Disturb feature enabled
has failed to turn off at the normal time.
IE10 below 1% market share, Firefox back under 20%, Chrome recovers from three months of losses
December 2012 finished off last year with quite some interesting

Happy 2013!!! To ring in the new year, we suddenly decided to
hop in the car and escape to Palm Springs, relaxing and celebrating an

Tax Bill: Cancelled Mortgage Debt Relief extended for one year in Senate Bill
Taxprof has posted the Senate version of the bill: H. R. 8
It appears that the Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 will be extended

Turning Old Barns Into New Furniture
The furniture pieces you see here all look quite old, but in fact,
they're brand new. They're all made by Furniture from the Barn, a
Pennsylvania-based outfit that gets their raw material, as their name

The family-run business works with a local Amish concern that takes down
dilapidated 18th-Century barns in the Pennsylvania and Maryland areas.

The Design Lesson
I like these thoughts by Andy Rutledge:
In graphic design, nothing is what it actually is. Everything other than
content is representative of something else.
A line isn't a line, it's a boundary. Don't need a boundary? Or is that
boundary already clear by some other means? Don't use a line.
Same goes for boxes, gradients, white space, scale, font, and any other
design element there is.
