Midnight Marauder

A Tumbler [sic] dedicated to the art of Criterion Collection covers.

Downright gorgeous cover art in this curated collection. The jacket for Scarecrow is particularly excellent.

Who Said Android Apps Can’t Look Good?

Sep
30

Bump releases Bump 2.4 for Android, and it looks much better than just about any other Android app (save for Gowalla). Droid Sans is still an odd typeface, though. It doesn’t suck, but it looks awkward.

Amazon Looking to Buy Palm

Sep
30

A well-placed source tells us that HP is currently looking to rid itself of Palm as soon as possible, and that Amazon is the closest to finalizing the deal, among a handful of contenders.

Not much to say, really. This is an interesting turn of events.

Another Whopper from Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch

Sep
29

We have put Mike Lynch’s PowerPoint slide sales-pitch up on the Oracle website – Oracle.com/PleaseBuyAutonomy – with the hope Mike Lynch will recognize his slides, his memory will be restored, and he will recall what he and Frank Quattrone discussed during their visit to Oracle last April.

This isn’t an opinion article, or a comment on a blog. This is an actual press release from Oracle. Via Gruber.

iPhone 5: This is our Design Prototype

Sep
29

Based on CAD designs, hardware components, several leaked hints, cases and recent, believable mockups we created a three-dimensional computer model. This virtual model was then used to build a very detailed, true prototype that you can hold in your own two hands.

This is ridiculously cool.

A Safari extension worth installing. At long last.

The Upcoming Crash Of Apple And Amazon

Sep
28

Apple’s stock price (AAPL) is going to collapse, and Amazon (AMZN) may in fact go bankrupt. There, I said it.

No timeframe for these predictions, mind you. Total linkbait. What a dumbass.

Amazon Silk: Just Like AOL Used to Make

Sep

Mark Wyner, via Cameron Moll:

Professional web designers take great care to build websites which are optimized for speed while retaining as much quality and visual integrity as possible. When there’s a middle man degrading our work, it causes problems.

Wyner hit the nail on the head here.

It’s weird to see Amazon becoming a tech company after starting as an online bookstore.

Amazon’s Kindle Fire Unveiled

Sep
28

Android-based, but with a more usable skin, a 7-inch IPS display, a dual-core processor and WiFi, for $199. That’s a hell of a deal.

“Grossly Underpriced”

Sep
27

Marco Arment:

If the free-update offer still stands when TextMate 2 ships, I will not take you up on it. I’m buying TextMate 2 as a new customer at full price. And I bet many other developers will gladly do the same.

Macromates offers a simply ridiculous plethora of discounts on a €30 piece of software. I will also buy TextMate 2 at full price. It’s stupid good.
