We got back from SXSW on Tuesday night (this year turned out much better than last year - in terms of panels attended, friends caught up with and food eaten) and I’ve been doing my darndest to catch up with some work that turned into a pile the size of our all-you-can-eat meat plate [...] -

Design in the Wild: Using real-world data to augment the design
I wanted to highlight Apple’s subtle way of enhancing their data presentation. The iGoogle themes that change according to the time of day is another great example of this. What can you do to make your design feel more “alive”?

Steve Jobs speaks about Apple’s approach to the iPhone, hiring, process and other things

Controversial article on Apple’s big miss with the iPhone: social networking
Philip Elmer-DeWitt explores an argument by a Swede named Peter S. Magnusson about how he sees a huge missed opportunity for Apple with regards to the iPhone. This goes beyond the run-of-the-mill wishlists (copy and paste, MMS, user-replaceable battery, etc.) that have been bandied about since the launch.
