Why AirPlay just wrecked your responsive media strategy « cvil.ly
10 weeks ago by ohskylab
"We can no longer presume that the content accessed through mobile devices will also be viewed on them. With AirPlay, mobile device experiences can just as easily become 10 foot lean-back experiences, negating all your assumptions about display size and bandwidth. Responsive meda strategies will need to get more sophisticated to take this into account."

The monetisation fetish - QuirksBlog
january 2011 by ohskylab
"This monetisation argument is the fetish of the current age. Unfortunately it is utter and complete rubbish. The fundamental problem, as I calculated months ago, is that there’s just not enough money in the app store economy to support a meaningful number of independent developers." Calculations feel rather back-of-envelope but voices of dissent are useful.

Desert discs: how mobile phones are at the root of Saharan music | Music | guardian.co.uk
november 2010 by ohskylab
"However eclectic your music collection, it would still need to go some way to match the sheer range of tracks shared by villagers swapping songs via Bluetooth and Sim card in the Sahara. Bollywood classics, Algerian Rai, Kuduro, French ballads – this is just a sample grab of the kind of sounds doing the rounds there, many of which can be found on Music from Saharan Cellphones, a mixtape put together by Portland-based blogger Christopher Kirkley."
