How to remove the dust under your iPhone glass
Last evening I dropped my iPhone on the floor. OMG! Ouf! It’s ok, but what the heck are those white spots on my screen?
It is inevitable, at some point in time, it will happen to you also, if not already. The glass of the iPhone 3G is in two parts and dust will find its way in through the edge of the glass. After a drop, those particles of dust will move their way under the glass. Annoying...

Swoopo Auctions →
eBay should re-invent itself. What about making $2000 for something that is sold for $300?
Swoopo is a new type of auction where the price of all the products are very low. Each time a user bids on a product, the price is increase by $0.12. The catch is that each time you bid, you pay 0.60$.
The idea is just amazing. The idea is so amazing it’s just killing me!

Let me start on a side note: Dear netbook makers, whoever you are — I don’t know your names because we don’t pay any attention to you, but we know you’re out there, polluting the world with your cheap, ugly, underpowered machines — but here is my command: Surrender and prepare to be boarded.

MarcoPolo - Context Aware Networking Preferences →
Since a couple of months, my Airport at home stopped detecting my MacBook and I had to force my network preferences to manual configuration with a static IP.
Going each day at the office and back home in the evening with the same computer, it quickly became a pain to switch each time the location in the network preferences.
MacoPolo saves the day by allowing your computer to determine its...
Designing Type With Cars →
When two type designers, an interactive artist, and a professional race car driver got together… a font was born.
The project made use of a new Toyota iQ specially outfitted with 4 color markers, used for tracking its position. The software used the car’s motion paths to create the vector outlines which were then used by the type designers to create the free iQ Agility Font.

Chuck Norris Facts →
I always wondered where the Chuck Norris Facts came from:
In late 2005, Norris became the object of an internet phenomenon known as “Chuck Norris Facts”, which document fictional, often absurdly heroic feats and characteristics about Norris. The phenomenon originally started with the Vin Diesel Fact Generator, and Chuck Norris Facts were created as a by-product, often using the same...

Feel like you can’t proceed until you have a bulletproof plan in place? Replace “plan” with “guess” and take it easy. That’s all plans really are anyway: guesses.

Few people take the time to tell their personal story about how life sometime can be difficult and share their pain.
Pain and joy are universal and they are the ones that touch the people the most, specially when joy emerges after a series of painful moments. I didn’t read the first and second part of this story yet, but I certainly been touch by this last one and felt Emily’s...
