The origins of Instagram style · robinsloan | Storify
'How's that for a tagline? "Instagram: pictures of things that don't mind having their pictures taken."' Robin Sloan on what gets posted to Instagram (but I'd caution that a) you're seeing things your friends post and b) there are some photos of (young, attractive, usually female, often self-taken) people in the Popular tab. Still, worth reading.

Apple's aesthetic dichotomy | Made by Many
"My question is: why does this approach not extend to the devices themselves? Why not make a wooden case for the iMac, like those hideous Sony TVs from my childhood? Or why not a case that makes the computer look like a typewriter? And why, when we have these beautiful, clean, efficient devices, do we put up with this horrific, dishonest and childish crap?"

Galcon - Frank Lantz | ETC-Press
"If you are looking for pleasant distraction and entertainment (which, by the way, is an entirely reasonable thing to look for in a game) Galcon is probably not for you. But if you are looking for a new hobby, one that will reward hard work, deep thought, and patience, then Galcon is a stirring reminder of how videogames have the capacity to transcend pleasant distraction and entertainment and achieve something altogether more complex and wonderful." Having read this, I installed it: I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the leap to three-stripe admiral, but I'm glad I tried.

How to Buy Superman’s Ears | TidBITs
(Ab)using an iPhone app as a mundane superpower. "I tried this out for the first time while standing outside of a Starbucks, and suddenly I could hear the footsteps of anyone walking by. Snatches of a conversation at a 20-foot distance. I heard a siren, and then was shocked to see an ambulance pass by three blocks away." I did this too, and it works (and is slightly odd.)

Smartr preview | intercourse with biscuits
"in Smartr, you add your Twitter details to the app and it pulls in all tweets that include links or photos, displaying an inline image and a nice preview of the content on the other side" Add 'send to Instapaper' and this will be great for when I wake up to hours of stuff from Europe. OTOH: why iPhone, not web? Also, it's sad that links have migrated to Twitter from Delicious (or even Pinboard, but both are probably a losing battle, now).

the Guardian on iPhone and iPad | Today’s News
An unofficial app that takes Phil Gyford's Today's Guardian experience and makes it more iPad-ish.

Coming for the iPhone 3GS, apparently. How are they getting camera data? I didn't think there was an official API call for that. Also, not yet on the App Store, so no idea about the pricing, and what's with the huge black border on the video? (Why is there only video, for that matter?) Probably also more useful for tourists than Londoners. Still, quibbles aside, interesting to see apps like this emerging.

iPhone claims high-ranking spot on Flickr | CNET News
Apparently Camera Finder shows the iPhone being the first mobile to break into the top five cameras. I can't say I'm surprised; although it's damned near awful as modern camera phones go, it comes with a data plan that doesn't make you fret about uploading, nor a UI that makes it feel like hell. It's probably the first decent camera-enabled networked phone in the US, fwiw (Nokia never broke that market).

Rolando Review for iPhone | Touch Arcade
This is maybe the second for-pay app I've bought for my touch, and it's wonderful. My only criticism is of the scrolling (especially in the level I'm currently stuck on, navigating the Prince through the fire canyon), but, frankly, given the fact it costs a fifth of what a DS game does, but has a similar level of polish, that's really picking nits. Recommended.
