Slide show: Solving the enigmas of everyday design - style - International Herald Tribune

Why do manufacturers load them up with so many functions that recording a television program is infuriatingly difficult? The answer is because it costs so little to add each function to a VCR that is cheaper to install them on every machine - just in case anyone wants them - than to "edit" models for different customers. ^{link »}

Macworld: News: Notes from DevCamp: Developers tackle iPhone apps

It only took a week after Apple released the iPhone for its new owners to need to get together and share all they’d learned about hacking their phones. ^{link »}

More than 300 people showed up to Adobe’s offices in San Francisco last weekend, ready to push the iPhone’s limits. ^{link »}

There were frequent shouts of “Could someone help us debug some JavaScript?,” “Does anyone know how to tell when a phone is rotated?,” and most commonly of all, “Can we borrow an iPhone for just a moment?” ^{link »}

The conference climax was Sunday afternoon with the 48 demos showing the results of the hack contest . Applications ranged from the useful (such as gOffice , a word processor, and TeleMoose , a low-bandwidth way to shop Amazon) to the fun ( PickleView , a way to combine baseball play-by-play information from mlb.com with twitters from friends, and Tilt , a “game in 1.5 dimensions”) to the merely silly ( WinPhoney , an attempt to make a Windows iPhone emulator). ^{link »}

Firebug for iPhone ^{link »}

Basically, it is a little Python web server which acts as a bridge between your iPhone and the Firebug console running in the browser on your computer. When you call console.log() on the phone it sends your log message to the server, which reflects it back to Firefox (or Safari or whatever), which displays it in your nice big Firebug console. You can also enter JavaScript commands in the command line in Firefox and have them sent to the phone, evaluated, and sent back to Firefox. It all works surprisingly well! ^{link »}
