The Physical Memory
When we use a Phone, touch or other, we get used to the physical actions within its environment, physical or digital, much like how we get used to the manual or auto shifts in a car. They are one and the same. Our mind remembers a position for a particular intended output in an environment [...]
My Smoking went down after I got addicted to Instagram, it got worse when I switched from Android to iPhone
It’s simple. Spend the time doing something else!
What are you selling?
Are you selling what people are searching? Or are you just pushing things. Most common thing in today’s e-commerce is that when a product is not available, we put a Big Large Block with a JS Scroller and fancy jQuery saying “People who saw this product also saw this”. But is it really what I want [...]
Groceries are not exactly E Commerce
Post ZopNow many people have asked me why the website does not really adhere to the many basics of e commerce that we have come to expect over the last few years. The answer is simple, Groceries are not exactly E Commerce, in other words Retail. Let me put this in much more simpler words. Groceries are not [...]
Usable Data / Lots of Data
Often its is said that Google creates the most usable of Apps and I constantly try to find a reason behind it. A simple display on of information on their Maps App on iPhone (or Android, since I use both) presents the user with a lot of Data. A restaurants name and address and phone [...]
My Phone usage has gone more social after switching from Nexus S to iPhone 5
Although its not pure and analytical data but it’s thereabout. After switching from the Google Nexus S to iPhone 5 in November 2012, my usage of Social Apps has seen a definite increase overall. Use of Instagram has gone up by more than double and Facebook should be up by 6 times. Add to this [...]
Going Responsive – ReaderBlocks
After a long time I have touched the Blog. Partly due to lack of time, partly due to patchy hosting service, more due to general laziness. Finally got around to creating the version 1.0 of my first responsive theme. Made for browsers across phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. This is still an “alpha” and I [...]
Mavn – Social Shopping
New site mavn.me just went live with app attached for iPhone. Mavn is a social shopping environment targeted at the urban user in motion. It allows you to smartly spot stuff that you want to buy or have and neatly organize them in bags complete with tags. Kind of like an Instagram for products. On [...]
MSI Dualscreen Netbook
YouTube – MSI Dualscreen Netbook with Multitouch Display. Now this is exactly what I was hoping would come up when there was a buzz around Apple’s iPad. Sadly the iPad did not go all the way and still has tremendous scope for improvement in terms or becoming a proper computing platform than a media display [...]
Black and White / Color Photos
A generic study of how Black and White / Color Photos behave when viewed. Just an observation on how a Color Photograph compels us to look at color where as the same in Black and White emphasizes more of the Structure and Form. Idea probably is to use each judiciously where necessary!
Is this the Future?
This is the result of TAT’s Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few. Well actually I would expect more. For instance the Keyboard and Mouse sure look redundant with a display and touch sensitive table surface. [...]
YouTube – Driving My Tractor (Barefoot Books)
YouTube – Driving My Tractor (Barefoot Books). Found this video while hunting for Nursery Rhymes for kids on Youtube to entertain a toddler. Barefootbooks was created by two moms and their books and videos do pack a punch.
Apple’s new ones
The new iPod touch is many shades better than the last one. It has 2 cameras and allows video chat over wifi. Something which the iChat always did. The rests is probably just upgrades of the old stuff and not as much interesting as the camera bit. Then there is the new iPod Nano. This [...]
Some interesting bookshelves
Have been on the lookout for the best and most innovative bookshelf and came across these. Very inspiring. Will post my own version in a few days, either a sketch or a 3D mock. (Via funniez.net)
Philips got a great way to view 2.40:1
The ultrawide Philips LCD displays movies the way they were meant to be. In 2.40:1 ratio. The TV comes in 56″ size and has ambilight to ease contrast in dark rooms, much like how a silver screen diffuses and disperses the light around in a theater. The ambilight feature also changes color depending on the [...]
