A few months back google switched from their old Image search to a new one where the preview is shown within the search results by opening up a box. It’s a Content First move from google and it works really well. To begin with: It allows the user to stay on the same page and see the [...]
Why sites should try and know their Users?
When we buy a shiny sports shoe for running / jogging / walking / drinking beer or whatever, if you bought it from an E-Commerce store, chances are, they will recommend you other shoes that you can buy! Very few take the route of Often Bought Together and actually show you a Show Cleaning Kit, Socks. After [...]
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 [...]

Vimeo in Couch Mode
A very innovative use of HTML 5
Have been spending a lot of time on Instagram lately
I have to say, the credit largely goes to Instagram’s simple user experience.
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. [...]
Toshiba libretto® W100 Dual-Screen Laptop PC
Toshiba libretto® W100 Dual-Screen Laptop PC. Sometime back when the iPad popped out from Apple’s stable, I kind of wished something like this was offered by Apple instead of the current iPad. I think the iPad is beautiful but it’s just not really a useful device. The Liberto “looks like” it has its basics correct. [...]
Pulse – Alphonso Labs
Pulse – Alphonso Labs. Another interesting product and more importantly a very urgently needed one. Tiring and boring are various other RSS readers which simply allow you to read, this probably allows you to do the same in style and with colors. The product does have a hint of Sweeetcron in it though and the [...]
Animation software, Multimedia software | Adobe Flash Professional CS5
animation software, multimedia software | Adobe Flash Professional CS5. Somehow Adobe has been putting one Axe after another on their foot. 1. The order form for Adobe CS5 is in Flash. Why? 2.
