Nick Farina - An iOS Developer Takes on Android
We decided it was important to keep the native stuff native, and to respect each platform’s conventions as much as possible. Some conventions are easy to follow, like putting our tabs on the top. Other conventions go deep into the Android Way, like handling Intents , closing old Activities , implementing Search Providers, and being strict about references to help the garbage collector. Now, our platform leverages HTML5 (buzzword, sorry) in many places for branding and content display, so we got a fair amount of UI for free.

We've discussed setting up a home surveillance system with Apple's FaceTime before , and it's even easier with Google+ hangouts (and cross platform, too).

Digital Oxytocin: How Trust Keeps Facebook, Twitter Humming | Fast Company
The most surprising takeaway from the recent Pew Research Center study, " Social Networking Sites and Our Lives ," wasn't that 80% of Americans regularly use the Internet or that 60% of web users have a social network account--double the number in 2008, with the vast majority on Facebook (52%) and Twitter (33%). Nor is it that people have gone gaga over smartphones, with one in three Americans owning one. Rather, it's the idea that the Internet, in particular social networks, engender trust, and the more time you spend on them the more trusting you become. As the report put it, "The typical Internet user is more than twice as likely as others to feel that people can be trusted," with regular Facebook users the most trusting of all. "A Facebook user who uses the site multiple times per day is 43% more likely than other Internet users and more than three times as likely as non-Internet users to feel that most people can be trusted."In Design , Technology on 15 July 2011. When Google+ launched last week, one of the most discussed features was Circles. In case you haven’t read a single blog, Tweet, or Google+ post in the last week (and yet, somehow stumbled into this dark corner of the internet), Circles is Google’s way of allowing you to group people. You can put anyone into a one or more Circles such as “Friends”, “Acquaintances”, “Co-workers”, “People I Eat Brunch With”, “Cyclists”, etc.

What Kind of Maintenance Do I Need to Do on My Mac?
Dear Lifehacker, I'm a new Mac user and would like to know what sort of maintenance I need to do for this computer. Should I be defragging the drive or running something like scandisk like I did on Windows or...something else?
We're all about creative cable management here at Lifehacker, so we were instantly drawn to reader Seandavid010 's rain-gutter cable management setup. Granted, you can find other cord-wrangling solutions, like the one I used when I made my cordless workspace , but the rain gutter approach yields impressive results. Sean was nice enough to send in his entire step-by-step, so here goes (everything below was written by Sean): I recently purchased a new table from IKEA to use as a computer desk. I liked it because it was really long and narrow (78"x23") and would work perfectly for my wife and I.

Les Fab Labs, ou le néo-artisanat » OWNI, News, Augmented
Fabriquer soi-même ce dont on a besoin, réparer, au lieu de consommer des objets que l'on jette au moindre dysfonctionnement : tel est le programme des FabLabs, nés au début des années 2000 au MIT grâce au physicien Neil Gershenfeld. Dans Tintin et le lac aux requins , le professeur Tournesol invente un engin révolutionnaire : le photocopieur en trois dimensions. On met un objet d’un côté, un peu de pâte de l’autre et en un tournemain l’original est reproduit à l’identique. Une telle machine existe depuis quelques années sur un principe pas très éloigné de ce qu’avait imaginé Hergé.Washington Post Review of Piracy ...
