Nizo app teaser

Well you’ve been working in the background on developing a great app and you need to create a little pre-launch buzz and intrigue around it. Here’s what the folks behind the Nizo app for iPhone have done: dynamically assembled ‘parts’ literal parts as clues to generate a teaser that is both indication of what the app will do, although clouted in mystery, and also the intricacies of the what the app functionalities will be. Smart!

Objective met! I’m intrigued.

So what do you think it is?

Diacarta

Diacarta is a such a well-design app! Luv the icons and how it creates a visual of your ‘day’ scheduled activities which you can access with just a touch of a finger.

Syncs with iPhone native calendar too.

WURM app

a href=”http://wurmapp.com/”>WURM is an iPhone / iPad app to create dazzling abstract wallpapers with just your finger. Using any movement, fast or slow and see what happens. Pick up a color palette, shapes or drawing forms and next thing you know – you have relaxed.

Brought to you by Anna O. programmer. Making algorithms for art. Lover of patterns (no doubt about that). The very first woman that I know of – who has created an app.

Know more who did? Please suggest here.

Foxconn’s Lies

The Truth of the Apple iPad Behind Foxconn’s Lies

In 2010, Foxconn was under the spotlight of the media due to the suicide tragedies. At least 18 workers committed suicides and 3 survived. One year on from the spate of suicides..

Rampant labour rights violations and harsh management remain. Workers always have excessive and forced overtime work. Sometimes, they have to skip meals if they cannot accomplish the production target. They have to stand for over 10 hours on shop floor and cannot talk with each other. They are exposed to chemicals aluminium dust but do not have adequate protection..

_______

Shocking! Appalling! Unacceptable. I hate to see so much pain and danger bestowed on some for the pleasure / privilege of others.

After watching this video, what are you reactions?
