Posted (seano) in Tech, Video on March-8-2008

The folks over at Common Craft have put together another great instructional video on Twitter — what it is and why we use it. It explains everything about the orange box you see on the right. If you’re on twitter, shoot me an email and let me know!

iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware Update

Posted (seano) in Tech, iPhone on March-4-2008

Apple released the 1.1.4 firmware update for the iPhone & iPod Touch last week.  The update adds a total of zero great new features to your iPhone/iTouch.  However, I’ve noticed that my battery life has increased by about 50%!  And it is assumed this update preps your device for the (finally) coming third-party applications.

My advice: plug into iTunes and update as soon as you get the chance.

iPhone Ready For Business?

Posted (seano) in Business, Tech, iPhone on February-28-2008

Exchange on iPhoneUp until now, the iPhone, like most other iProducts before it, has been purely a consumer device.  But the business world is starting to realize that, “hey, this really could be useful in my company.”  Indeed, I’ve already ported a few of our line-of-business apps to the iPhone platform, and they work pretty darn well, even over the pokey EDGE connection.

The biggest piece of the puzzle is e-mail.  Many businesses run Microsoft Exchange, which is currently not supported by the iPhone’s mail client.  But with the forthcoming SDK release (which will almost certainly be delayed to March 6th from the Jobs-himself-promised February release date), Exchange support may should be just around the corner.  Hopefully, along with a To-Do List app.

This could do wonders for Apple’s stock price (AAPL) as well, which has take a beating these last few months after rising vertically for much of last year.  Market the Jesus Phone as an enterprise utility, and the one-off sales can turn into hundreds, thousands or more overnight…

Wait… what?  A cloth simulator?
The physics of these polygons are dead-on, and the wave of the “cloth” can be mesmerizing.  Adjust the size of the cloth and speed of the fan to see the effects.  For more fun, grab a corner and pull.
