Apple turn to Flash for security

By Ben Moss  |  Apr. 1, 2013  |  6 comments

Late on Friday night, Norwegian blogger Ally Tenor posted a number of screen grabs from Firebug that appeared to show Apple’s Norway store running scripts through an eu-ampd.swf file — a format output by Adobe’s Flash Professional software.

Over the weekend several other commentators reported the same thing and by Monday morning...

iPhone 5: the future of the mobile web?

Sep. 14, 2012  |  16 comments

At last, the much anticipated iPhone 5 was finally announced on Wednesday.

After the disappointment of the iPhone 4S, which was really just the iPhone 4 with a slightly better camera, Apple have a lot riding on the successful reception of their flagship product.

The Android platform now represents 68% of the smartphone market while iOS has fallen to just 17%. In addition, sales of the Samsung Galaxy S3 alone were higher than those of the iPhone in August. Although as most commentators will point out, the likelihood is that consumers have simply postponed purchasing an iPhone in anticipation of the new model.

However in recent months niche providers across the USA have started offering the iPhone as a ‘prestige’ option.

Steve Jobs, a designer at heart

Oct. 6, 2011  |  38 comments

We at WDD are deeply saddened by Steve Jobs’ passing… And while the Internet is buzzing with people’s heartfelt emotions about his life’s impact and legacy, we’d also like to pay tribute with this modest homage.

A designer at heart, design was at the core of Steve’s life and that translated to revolutionary and yes we can also say ‘magical’ products. But he says it better: “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

And we can only imagine how many lives have been influenced by his vision and how deep he reached into all the corners of the world…

In this post, we’ve collected some rare photos of Steve as well as some famous quotes that...

Keynote as a collaborative wireframing tool

Jul. 5, 2011  |  8 comments

Some people collect stamps, others spot trains; I have become obsessed with wireframing software.

I have tried and fallen in love with countless applications, from Balsamiq to Mockingbird to FlairBuilder. Although each has felt like true love, over time my gaze has wandered, and I find myself flirting with another tool.

They all look so alluring, but over time I see their shortcomings. Perhaps I am just too fussy. Perhaps my needs are too unusual. What I really want is a tool that fits the way I do things,...
