disruptomatic:

There are loads of children’s book-apps available on iPad, but FarFaria is bringing a more Spotify/Netflix vibe to the idea. How? By charging parents $3.99 a month for unlimited access to its catalogue of illustrated stories.

The idea is that parents pay, then their children navigate the virtual FarFaria world looking for new tales to read. “No advertising. No hidden fees,” promises its App Store listing, which also notes that new stories will be added every week.

The app is aimed at 2-9 year-olds. Fun, although I’m not sure it’ll tear mine away from Peppa Pig and other familiar book-app brands.

heyamberrae:

What are you working on and how does it make you feel? Mental states based on skill and challenge level.

This is so true, and probably varies depending on what you’re doing or working on any given moment.

Just after the release of Lion, Apple’s latest desktop operating system, I was catching up with Gabe when he made an observation that’s been rattling around in my head ever since.

As we talked about how his migration to Lion had gone he noted that after decades…

Very interesting observation!

The internet is a fad

A stupid conversation between a friend an I:

Stephen: U may wanna invent a program that spell checks.
me: ha
Stephen: I don't know if they have that yet.
me: nope
Stephen: Check the "internets"
me: the tubes?
Stephen: No, no. They call it "the world wide web." It's a passing fad. But it's the hot thing now
me: i heard of that.. .it'll never last
in fact, i'm going to bet my career on it's failure
Stephen: Agreed. I mean really. Who would sit in front of some screen mindlessly & watch short streaming clips of cats all day?

“All the effort we put into technology might not matter that much if we kept technology off to the side in some sort of R&D department, but we don’t take that approach. Technology infuses all of our teams, all of our processes, our decision-making, and our approach to innovation in each of our businesses. It is deeply integrated into everything we do.”
