About Apple’s New App Store

I’ve been meaning to write a review of the brilliant apps created by TastyApps (Mac only), and will get to it very soon.

In the Meantime, their blog has an EXCELLENT opinion about Apple’s new App Store (not the iPhone one, but the one they inserted into their new OS 10.6.6 update). He writes not only of the impact to small software developers, but also addresses the effects on us, the consumers of software. I believe this is something about which we should be wary.

And although this article is Mac-centric, please note that Windows has used a similar (but not as accessible) update model on many products for some time – and as you all know, these ideas propagate…

Cool Color IQ Test

For my design students, you may really get a kick out of this! X-Rite, one of the companies that make great Monitor and Printer color calibration tools, has come up with this test to determine your color acuity.

As it turns out, our ability to distinguish small color variations becomes less acute with age (and other factors)

I tried this about a year ago, and found out that, thankfully, my color acuity was much younger than I am!

Even if you’re not a design student, but you’re into color, this test is really interesting and you may find it fun.

Using Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) in Emails

This was posted to YouTube well before the blog came live, but it’s the first of the tutorials. It addresses that issue so many people have, in which bulk emails display the email address of every person who received them. Find out how to avoid that.

If you visit the YouTube Page, you’ll find a list of links to view the parts of the video that apply to your specific email software.
