A new blog about the little design features in software that makes them all the more better. The first two posts, about the tabs in Google Chrome and the new mail behavior in iPhone Mail, are great.

Apparently the ABC News Online team have been nomads since evacuating their Milton office due to flood waters. You wouldn’t know it from their excellent online coverage, including their before and after photo presentations. Well done, ABC News Online.

Basically it’s a mostly-automated dashboard of all your Apple products, purchases, and service interactions. It’s like Amazon’s order history crossbred with a 2011-friendly update feed.

Zapped in the alarm clock
After my reblog comment yesterday, my wife asked if iOS alarm clock failings in the wake of the new year counted as being “zapped in the arse”.

Marco.org: There really isn't much of a "tablet"... →

marco:
There’s an iPad market, and the iPad could be classified as a tablet, from a hardware-centric viewpoint. But the market for non-iPad tablets is about as big today as it was before the iPad, which isn’t nothing, but it’s close enough to nothing that Apple doesn’t need to worry about it.
A great piece from Marco Arment about how solid Apple’s...
