WIRED on iPad: Just like a Paper Tiger… by IA (Information Architects – Japan)
“First, the paper magazine was crammed into the little iPad frame. In form of a PNG slide show. To compensate for the lack of interactive logic, this pretty package was provided with a fruity navigation. In the end it was spiced with in-app links, plucked with a couple of movies and salted with audio files (”interactive”). Then it was off to marketing. And it sold 24,000 copies. Dammit. It’s the Nineties all over again.”

“When buying a new computer most people don’t care about its design. Then we have another group of people. The ones that just can’t live with the thought of being just like the average Joe. They want to be among the select few that stands out in a crowd showing off their designer/manufacturing skills no matter how much money it will take getting there.”

Dang don’t want any of my <stuff> be linked to by and for companies or friends on social networks. Simple Help has made this very brief tutorial available that will show you how to disable Facebook’s latest “has some privacy issues” service, Open Graph.
What is the meaning of opt-in baby? You know, you ask me and I get to choose. Not discovering this after the fact. Made some quick research, to discover that these companies just want to make it easier for us to connect and share.. which they will track with mega server parks.. and a full new wing of tallying geeks to crunch meaning out of our activities.. and all that for nothing?!?!
Because they want to SHARE on the web.. Since when share has become synonymous with profit?!?!
We’re NOT 2 yrs old being taught not to cross the street on the red light here.
Dang. Bang-bang.
