50 Days Of Logos? All We Can Take Is 1 Day Of Logos.
2010-09-07 22:38:16
Well, power to the people, I guess. Yesterday we announced quite innocently that we'd be changing our logo every day for 50 days to salute a different startup. We thought it would be fun based on doing it last week with an old Twitter logo. Fun it was not. Reddit, it seems, has been doing exactly the same thing for the last eight days. Within moments of our post going up we were slammed for copying them. And then demands were made that we stop, and/or give them credit for inventing the silly idea. I scoffed, and then things went crazy. We get more than our fair share of crazies in our comments, but this was over the top even in our experience. We banned dozens of hateful comments, but they're coming faster than we can stop them. And I certainly have no intention of doing this day after day as each new logo goes up.

Firefox 4 Beta, Now With Faster Graphics And Visual Sound
2010-09-07 22:18:48
Firefox just launched its fifth Firefox 4 beta, which includes a more streamlined interface, faster graphics and a new audio API that exposes raw audio data.

Yahoo!’s User Interface Library Learns To Love Being Touched, Gestured At
2010-09-07 21:49:57
Gather up a group of people who make their living through web design, and they'll probably all agree on at least two things: A) touchscreens aren't going anywhere, and B) designing web stuff for touchscreens sort of sucks. Native apps have, in a sense, spoiled users; with things like drag-and-drop and basic touch gesture recognition almost laughably simple to implement in native apps, web app developers are left to hack in such features themselves or risk having their app seem dated from the get-go. Today Yahoo! is looking to make things a bit less painful with the latest release of their open-source User Interface library, YUI.

2010-09-07 21:15:43
Is it just me or has there been a lot of logo hate going around lately? Apparently hell hath no fury like an armchair graphic designer scorned, if you go by some of the comments on our 'Hate The iTunes 10 Logo?

And in case you want to switch the current iTunes 10 logo out, here's how to do it on a Mac and on a PC.

The New iPod Order: Click Wheel Dethroned, Touch Screen Crowned
2010-09-07 21:09:46
I remember my first iPod very well. Shockingly, I was a little late to the party, waiting until the fourth generation iPod (now called the “iPod classic”) in 2004 to join the revolution. And I only bought one because I was planning to drive out to California (from Ohio) and I wanted enough music storage to last me the entire trip. I remember unboxing it and thinking: “wow, I can store all my music on this tiny device?” Today, six years later, I still have that old iPod. But I no longer consider it “tiny.” In fact, it’s more of a “brick” both in size and weight. It held 40 gigabytes of my music on its miniature hard drive platters. Today, the latest high-end iPod touch holds 24 more gigabytes and is a sliver of the size and a fraction of the weight. And it plays music for 28 more consecutive hours. Oh, and it has a color screen. One you can touch. One you can multi-touch.

2010-09-07 20:39:04
According to recent SEC filings, it appears that Chris Sacca's newly launched fund, Lowercase Capital, has raised over million in funding.

Some of the fund's previous investments include SimpleGeo, Fanbridge, DailyBooth, Posterous and Stickybits.

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Rips “Vindictive” HP Lawsuit
2010-09-07 20:16:59
The dramatic battle between Mark Hurd, HP, and Oracle continues. Yesterday Oracle announced that it was hiring recently-ousted HP CEO Mark Hurd as Co-President and a member of its Board. HP responded this morning by suing Hurd, alleging that he would potentially leak trade secrets to Oracle. Oracle has just responded to the suit, and it isn't pulling any punches: “Oracle has long viewed HP as an important partner,” said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “By filing this vindictive lawsuit against Oracle and Mark Hurd, the HP board is acting with utter disregard for that partnership, our joint customers, and their own shareholders and employees. The HP Board is making it virtually impossible for Oracle and HP to continue to cooperate and work together in the IT marketplace.'

Get used to “3D” TVs – They’re Here To Stay
2010-09-07 19:01:59
We've seen a lot of TVs announced before and during IFA this year. That makes sense — it's a consumer electronics show, after all. And I guarantee that most if not all of those sets will have their 3D capability touted. It's a dangerous move, since so many consumers are wary of 3D — not enough content, bulky glasses, headaches, and so on. So there's been some grumbling: why are they including 3D on TVs when nobody wants it? It's really pretty simple: adding 3D capability to a TV is trivial. It's a freebie feature they get to charge for.

Mozilla Labs Vaguely Announces Web-Based Gaming Initiative
2010-09-07 18:49:51
Earlier today Mozilla Labs — the R&D arm of the company behind Firefox — announced that it was launching a new Gaming section focused on fostering games built on modern Open Web technologies. And to kick things off, it's inviting developers to take part in a contest to develop the best games for the Open Web. At least, it's inviting them to look forward to a competition that will begin later this month (the logistics haven't been announced). The contest itself isn't out of the norm — Mozilla Labs runs challenges every two months for its various projects. But the long-term vision for this new Games project is extremely vague at this point. The main site for the Gaming section states that Mozilla is looking to 'help establish the Open Web as the platform for gaming across all your Internet connected devices', but it doesn't really get into how it will do that.

Leaked Video Of IE9 In Action Shows Minimalist UI
2010-09-07 18:28:18
The video above just hit YouTube showing Microsoft's upcoming Internet Explorer 9 in action. Unlike previous previews, this one shows what appears to be the full UI and chrome around the browser. There is not much to look at because the UI is extremely minimal, getting out of the way of the Websites it is supposed to showcase. There isn't even much of a toolbar up top. There are forward and back buttons, an address bar, and three buttons to the right, which appear to be a home button, a favorites icon, and an arrow which presumably opens up other menu options. The frame is semi-transparent, and the soundless video depicts some IE9 demos which have been seen before which show off the speed of the hardware-accelerated browser.
