Design Driven Software
I have been working as a designer with web development since 1996, and over the last decade I observed a trend with software companies that abandoned traditional media and eventually design based branding altogether. Google being the front runner. Part of it makes sense, why advertise on outdated and overpriced platforms, when you can make your own? I think this trend was fueled and...

".brands" approach with Internet name shake-up →
infoneer-pulse: Brand owners will soon be able to operate their own parts of the Web — such as .apple, .coke or .marlboro — if the biggest shake-up yet in how Internet domains are awarded is approved. After years of preparation and wrangling, ICANN, the body that coordinates Internet names, is expected to approve the move at a special board meeting in Singapore on Monday. » via Yahoo! News

The overall success rate is 44%, but for 90 day projects (our max) it’s 24%. We can’t say for certain why… continued

Apple Moves To The Cloud →
Steve Jobs admits that syncing data between all the devices he sells you is driving people crazy, so Apple wants you to pay to have your data stored on it’s servers.

"Eyes for your Eyes deux" (part 2)
Summary: In my last post I talked about my ideas for tomorow’s software development. I did not talk about programming languages, I talked about devices, plugins, and visualizations that are changing the face of software. I also made the challenge to developers to set high standards, to use open development, and to recognize the value of your IP. While my post had favorable response and a...
