hiten: iPad Camera rumor becoming a reality? We think so. « Mission:Repair Blog
Not surprising, and somehow still cool :)

At the same time, the bashers should be careful, too. As we enter Phase 2, remember how silly you all looked when you all predicted the iPhone’s demise in that period before it went on sale.
Like the iPhone, the iPad is really a vessel, a tool, a 1.5-pound sack of potential. It may become many things. It may change an industry or two, or it may not. It may introduce a new category — something between phone and laptop — or it may not. And anyone who claims to know what will happen will wind up looking like a fool.
I wasn’t fully convinced during the presentation, but the more I’ve thought about it, the more niches it seems to effortlessly fill, the more creative apps I can imagine, the better it seems for ANY form of non-movie-night media consumption (Which means other movies, tv, books, magazines, web-content, etc).
To beat a dead horse, it’s not about features, it’s about experience, and the combination of a touch-educated public, developers who are motivated and enabled to continue capitalizing on that, as well as accessible pricing creates scenarios we aren’t capable of fully predicting.
I am willing to establish a base-line however: a successful hit by Apple sales definitions.
We at DoInk.com recently ran a customer development survey to gain some insight from our users; word on the street is that if greater than 40% of surveyed users would be “very disappointed” if your service no longer existed, you’ve achieved product/market fit.
At greater than 75%, I’d say we have something special on our hands! Now that I’ve shared that minor success, back to the task of helping more discover the great tools & community we’ve built.
Good developers share a lot in common with super-villains: both are highly intelligent, incredibly confident, and completely unable to estimate the chances of success.
(Also, don’t forget the shared love of sarcasm)
A friend of mine gave me a *unique* opportunity to run the Boston Marathon this April, and I’m (overly) excited about it.
While I can’t share the details (yet), it’s going to be a memorable & highly visible experience.
So please pardon the temporary increase in running-related posts, hopefully you’ll find my 3-month journey from runner to ‘Marathoner’ interesting & entertaining.
PS: Did I mention I plan on running it barefoot?

AOK Apple Calendar
Here, the German agency, Serviceplan has exploited the concept of “an apple a day for better health” on behalf of the insurance company AOK and has come up with an amazing wall calendar shaped dispenser that holds up to 31 apples in a Plexiglas tube resistant UVA and UVB. The AOK insurance company has very well brought the saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” To life in a very attractive way. In the beginning of the month there are 31 apples in this UVA-and UVB-resistant Plexiglas. You remove one apple from the tube and eat it each day and give a boost to your health. The rest of the move up and reveal the date on a calendar fastened behind the apples. Same goes on each month depending on the number of days, the number of apple varies. Hanging smartly on the walls of your room the apple calender will remind you of having an apple each time you look at it to know the date.
<sarcasm> Mmmm, I love 30 day old apples. So delicious! </sarcasm>
I think I’d be better served by the 7-day version as well. Nice kitchen/office concept though; anything that automates success = win.
The averages are uglier. Median filtering on the top %0.000001 of faces will likely produce a better result.
The average face of these people famous in part because of their pretty faces is more attractive than the slightly androgynous average.
Fascinating. On an objective, scientific note: Fox-Bellucci-Portman-Johansson merge is a total hottie.
PoketyPoke is like Tripit for conference calls. Once you sign up you just forward any free form email or calendar invite to calls@poketypoke.com. At the time of the conference call PoketyPoke calls you (on the number of your choosing) and bridges you into the conference call. PoketyPoke does all of the deep dialing so that you do not have to remember all of the bridge pins, etc.
Doesn’t just solve a pain point for me, but for those on the other end of the call :) Cool.
