52 Weeks of UX →
matthewb has got it right:
A discourse on the process of designing for real people, from Joshua Porter and Joshua Brewer. I love seeing this sort of project built on Tumblr, and Brewer has included some sweet design details, including the 1–52 navigation in the header, linking to articles tagged for each week.

– AppleInsider | Apple HDTV rumors resurface
I can´t either see why Apple would go into that low margin overcrowded business of HDTVs when the AppleTV is so plug and play already.
Then again, people probably said that about mobile phones as well when the iPhone rumours started popping up, and they...
Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity →
I don´t think this is surprising. I tested it and… ok… Webkit: awesome… but what else ? Didn´t like the GUI, don´t need anymore webkit based browsers, and I work enough already to keep advertisers, spam and spyware out of my browsing experience to actually invite them in. I think this is just a spin-off from the Android development and not really a focus (I hope).

Pods (even iPods) will last
Woz, or Steve Wozniak, the cofounder of Apple, is a smart guy. That´s why I think the quick gossip-like headlines all over the internet the last days (“Apple co-founder believes iPod has about run its course”) is very simplified.
It depends on how you define “iPod”. The iPod Touch is also an iPod, and I can very well see a future iPod Touch with WiFi and perhaps Wimax capabilities,...

How sad. Announcing a new sitewide advertiser. When the CEO doesn’t have anymore exciting news than this I begin to think that a part of Myspace is dying and turning in to just a music store.

fruux - "Just Sync, No-frills!" →
This may actually solve one of my major gripes with macs. With all the work Apple puts down in the seamless experience on syncing iPhones and everything, having a macbook and an imac that you want to have in sync is still a major pain.
And btw, MobileMe is just too much of what I don´t need, and won´t actually sync accounts.

With all the Apple rumour sites and all the speculation around some are bound to get it right some of the time, without it being possible for Apple to prove that it’s illegal use of their info or a leak.

Of course it´s the natural evolution for all handset manufacturers, but it´s strange that it takes newcomer Apple to push the others to develop their far older platforms. Imitation is the...

Well commented. Plus Mobile Safari works just fine without Flash me thinks. I don´t see Apple, which is so “experience” centric, leaving all control to Adobe and Flash developers.

Hack Your Apple TV With Boxee →
Cool frontend for Apple TV based on XBMC which is also available for Linux and Mac OS X. Still needs work but absolutely a promising alternative to Apple´s standard frontend. Especially if you have a lot of non-iTunes media.

Stahlgrau
Stahlgrau is German and means steel gray, or more commonly, gun metal grey, the colour of California designed computers, German sportscars, industrial kitchen appliances, a modern staircase, and so forth. Steel is also rigid and to the point, as we aim to be editorially.
