Big news overnight is the launch of Square, a mobile app supporting multiple devices that enables anyone to take credit card transactions without the hassle of merchant accounts or complicated fee structures. It’s the brainchild of Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey and with the likes of Buzz Andersen involved, it’s going to be huge. Impeccable website design by Bobby Andersen.

We live in the future.

Tiger Woods’ accident via Japanese CGI.

This is amazing. I want all my inane celebrity news delivered in this fashion.

I don’t think that is a Nike-branded rugby shirt that Tiger is wearing. Just sayin’.

Today I discovered that if you type in googlegooglegooglegoogle.com, you get one page with four different Google browsers, and they all run independently. I have no idea how this is useful in any way but that's not going to stop me from doing it. MLIA

iPhone now 50% of all smartphone traffic worldwide

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:53:49 -0800

iPhone now 50% of all smartphone traffic worldwide:

infoneernet:

Apple devices now represent exactly half of all smartphone traffic on the Internet, AdMob said today in its report for October. The iPhone has gained 10 percent of absolute share since August to reach 50 percent while Symbian has fallen again to 25 percent. Apple has identical share in the US.

Google’s Android platform also made large strides in the period. It leapt from 7 percent to 11 percent of world traffic in the two-month span and gained even more sway in the US, where it now represents 20 percent of all smartphone traffic. The gain is owed to the launch of different Android phones and through different carriers; the HTC Magic and myTouch 3G were the biggest helps in the US, but the HTC Hero and other devices have also played a small role.

Ten things mobiles have made, or will make, obsolete:

infoneernet:

The history of mobile phone technology reads like the plot from Highlander. A variety of standalone devices have been decapitated and absorbed into increasingly complex handsets. To highlight how powerful mobile phones have become, here’s a list of things that the mobile phone has made, or will make, obsolete. As Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez would say, “In the end, there can be only one”.

Could "i" be the future of newspapers?

A great article from Editors Weblog:

Portugal’s newest daily newspaper, i, was launched in early May and has attracted a significant amount of attention due to its rising circulation figures and innovative approach. It recently won a design award from the Society of News Design. The Editors Weblog spoke to editor-in-chief Martim Avillez Figueiredo, managing editor for online Mónica Bello and art director Nick Mrozowski, to find out more about i’s approach and the reasons behind its success.

I’s circulation in August was over 16,000 copies, up from just under 11,000 in its first month, May. As a comparison, the country’s top selling papers, Público and Diário de Notícias, sold 36,000 and 30,000 respectively that month. So for a new paper, i seems to be doing well. How, when the newspaper industry is struggling worldwide from falling income as readers move online and advertising rates fall, is a new newspaper seemingly thriving?
