Jony Ive's iOS 7 redesign reportedly eliminates 'heavy textures' for a flat, 'black and white' design | The Verge

Jony Ive's iOS 7 redesign reportedly eliminates 'heavy textures' for a flat, 'black and white' design | The Verge:

My issues with iOS are less with it’s design and more with it’s limitations. I’ll write a longer post soon.

But it comes down to the simple fact that certain apps (mail, maps, calendar) on iOS are not best of breed and Apple should let users decide which apps they want to use primarily for these functions. And that is a much bigger deal to me that textures, shading etc. right now.

Okay. Let’s see you keep this promise.

I find tumblr valuable to me for a number of reasons - but the primary one is that I find it to be unexpected. The content is unexpected but so are the people who post the content. And that is what keeps me coming to this site from my desktop, laptop, phone and iPad.

Good luck.

I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!

We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve. Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster.

Tumblr has built an amazing place to follow the world’s creators. From art to architecture, fashion to food, Tumblr hosts 105 million different blogs. With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of thefastest-growing media networks in the world. Tumblr sees 900 posts per second (!) and 24 billion minutes spent onsite each month. On mobile, more than half of Tumblr’s users are using the mobile app, and those users do an average of 7 sessions per day. Tumblr’s tremendous popularity and engagement among creators, curators and audiences of all ages brings a significant new community of users to the Yahoo! network. The combination of Tumblr+Yahoo! could grow Yahoo!’s audience by 50% to more than a billion monthly visitors, and could grow traffic by approximately 20%.

In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!’s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they’ll love. In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!’s media network and search experiences. The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and enhance user experience.

As I’ve said before, companies are all about people. Getting to know the Tumblr team has been really amazing. I’ve long held the view that in all things art and design, you can feel the spirit and demeanor of those who create them. That’s why it was no surprise to me that David Karp is one of the nicest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most perceptive, capable entrepreneurs I’ve worked with. His respect for Tumblr’s community of creators is awesome, and I’m absolutely delighted to have him and his entire team join Yahoo!.

Both Tumblr and Yahoo! share a vision to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas by focusing on users, design — and building experiences that delight and inspire the world every day.

What the Fuck is Brendan Byrne Doing?: Etsy accused me of not assembling my synths by hand, demanded photos, and shutdown my shop (2/2):

Most of the stuff on etsy is crap - the fact that they are picking one one of the few people who actually hand make all their stuff is just one more grain of sand on their scale of “how shitty is etsy? Pretty goddamn shitty”

I love the simplistic, beautiful onboarding experiences that betaworks creates for its apps. The screenshots above are from the first time you open the new Dots game betaworks released. The intro experience for Tapestry was really enjoyable too.

Credit for the beauty+joy of Dots and Tapestry should go to Patrick Moberg

Dots is pretty great.

Cool! rudramakesmovie shared his post:

Went bouldering yesterday. Then when I got home, I painted a shed. I wish I’d worn my HRM for both of them because today I am just WRECKED. My sustained heart rate for the nearly 4 hours I was painting outside was probably around 140bpm because I was trying to get it done quickly under cover of darkness.

It didn’t help that I was painting a shed with oil based primer either. I’ll add a pic too. I look like I’m building Dexter’s kill room or something.

Eerie.
