16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 5nha Skylock Is the Bike Lock of the
Future, and Its Awesome -Gizmodo Bike locks, while incredibly
necessary, are way behind the times. Even the best of them will
break under brute force, and then where are you? Bikeless and
alone. The new Skylock, from ex-Boeing and Jawbone engineers, is
about to leapfrog the competition and bring bike protection into
the 21st century. It looks amazing. Skylock has Bluetooth 4.0 in
it. Just like keyless unlock- ing systems youve seen on cars, you
can do the same thing for you bike. Via Skylocks smartphone app,
you can press a button to unlock the lock. Or set it up to have
proximity detection, so as soon as you get right up next to it, it
unlocks. If your phone dies, you can still unlock it via a
combination (pattern) lock on the lock itself. In addition to being
as strong as any U-lock on the market (or so it claims), Skylock
has built-in acceler- ometers and Wi-Fi. It works like this: When
you lock up your bike, you can connect the lock to a nearby Wi-Fi
network. If someone starts messing with your bike, the
accelerometers will detect it, and it will send a push notification
to your phone via the app, so you can run out and thwart any
evil-doers. You can adjust the sen- sitivity, too, so its not
disturbed by a single, accidental jostle. Obviously, if there isnt
a nearby network you can connect to youre out of luck (it works
over Bluetooth, too, but youd have to be within 30 feet of it), but
this is still an awesome feature. Lire le reste de larticle -->

16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 10nha BillGuard Launches Its Personal
Finance App On Android And Adds Data Breach Alerts -TechCrunch
Personal finance startup BillGuard has been working hard over the
last several years to help its users to identify fraudulent charges
on their credit and debit cards, and also to keep track of their
spending on the web and on its iPhone app. Today its expanding its
reach with the launch of an Android app, and also adding a new
feature that will alert users when their cards have been affected
by a Target-style data breach. The company, which was a Battlefield
Finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt a few years ago, launched with the
goal of alerting users to hidden fees that would appear on their
bank or credit card statements. With the introduction of its iPhone
app last year, it expanded to include so-called grey charges i.e.,
recurring fees that users might have agreed to but forgotten about.
Last fall, it added tools to help its users track their spending
and compare outflows in different categories on a month-over- month
basis to give them a better idea of where their money is going.

Again With This Interac- tive App - To use Photoshop like a pro,
you need to know your keyboard shortcutsbut with so many to
remember, you can easily feel more rookie than ever. This
interactive app should help you out, by telling you in a jiffy
which keys will help you get to work. Gizmodo Application Shortcut
Mapper was created by Waldo Bronchart, and its an interactive web
app designed to be a visual shortcuts explorer for popular
applications. So far, it caters for Photoshop, Lightroom and
Blender. The keyboard layout is shown as it would be when you open
the program, telling you what keys will help you out. But it gets
better: press another key, like Shift or Space, and the display
changes to tell you what each key will now do. Its all color-coded,
too, so you know which key brings about what change when youve
chased down a particular keyboard rabbit hole. Lire le reste de

16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 12nha Foursquares Swarm And The Rise Of The
Invisible App - Swarm is a new app from Foursquare out today that
chisels off the check-in and proximity features of the main app and
places them in a sparse, focus-driven new home. The app is nicely
done, though it will be of most use to those in dense urban areas
with lots of friends. TechCrunch The underlying mechanics of Swarm
are whats really interesting here and more importantly what it says
about the next generation of apps youll be using on your
smartphone. Theresafundamentalshiftinthewaythatweuseappsunderway,
and the symptoms are all over the map. From a deeper, more
thoughtful approach to push notifications to the breaking apart of
large, unwieldy apps into smaller more focused components. The
shift were seeing will be the third strata of user interaction
since the iPhone popularized the mobile app in a major way. The
initial offerings for the iPhone and then Android devices adhered
fairly closely to the information appliance model. Using software,
you transformed your phone into a mostly mono- purpose device just
like it said on the tin. Now its a phone. Now its a calculator. Now
its a messaging tool. Lire le reste de larticle --> ici
16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 13nha Tapsule Lets You Create Time Capsules
Of Photos, Video And Text On Your iPhone - A new mobile application
called Tapsule, launching today, combines group messaging with
photo and video-sharing. TechCrunch The concept is not that
dissimilar from a number of other photo- sharing apps on the
market, like Albumatic, Eversnap, Cluster, Bonfyre, and those
dedicated to collecting photos and other media from big events,
like parties or weddings, for example. However, in Tapsules case,
the idea is less about organizing photos into albums, and more
about creating what founder Jeff Jackel describes as collaborative
media, where a group of friends comes together to create stories
which others can find and follow through Tapsule, or by viewing the
posts as theyre shared more broadly across social media platforms,
like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Ive always had a firm belief
that, when anyone sees a piece of social content, what they really
care about is the story behind it. Finding that story requires the
ability to go deeper, says Jackel. Lire le reste de larticle -->

16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 15nha Team Collaboration And Closing
Efficiency Gaps In Responsive Design -Smashing Magazine Responsive
design ushers in complexities that require a more involved design
and implementation process. Because of this, the effort has piled
up on the front end. Working in silos, where you talk to each other
only occasionally or during scheduled meetings, has too many
unknowns. Lets look at how these new challenges create
opportunities to work together better. We have to kill the
mentality that there is an assembly line of workers waiting for it
to be their turn, and instead embrace more focused collaboration
across the projects entire team. Four or five years ago, before
responsive design was a thing, I was asked to make a comprehensive
checklist that our team could follow when building any website.
Inevitably, an unexpected task or two would come up, along with a
tightrope of a deadline, and we never looked at that checklist
during the build. These days, the thought of making a step- by-step
checklist for a responsive design build sounds like a cruel joke.
Ive been on a small team building a large media website over the
last year. It did not take long after the project kicked off to
realize that our design teams best work is done in tandem. Wed
solve small problems, create momentum and then solve bigger
problems. Lire le reste de larticle --> ici
16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 16nha Let It Go: Say Farewell To These 5
Web Design Trends -Forbes Tech Trends come and go, especially in
the fast-paced world of web design. Yet sometimes we hold onto old
trends for too long when we should really be letting go and moving
on. As technology evolves, its easy to fall into the trap of
repeating old patterns. The web design industry is constantly
moving forward. Holding on to old trends can only weigh you down,
putting you behind the competition. Here are five design trends its
time to bid adieu and the new design elements taking their place:
Goodbye: Mobile Versions of Websites Instead of building
mobile-switched sites (i.e. m.websitename.com), many innovative
designers and developers are now focusing on responsive design. Its
not enough to detect devices and switch users anymore. Mobile users
are looking for a more fully integrated experience. With 55% of
Internet usage in the U.S. coming through mobile devices, the best
shops are doing mobile-first design and treating desktop and laptop
design as secondary. Responsive design allows the layout to adjust
based on the contextual experience of users. This means site
designs need to be built so they respond to the width of the
device, regardless of the gadget type. In more extreme cases,
functionality itself can even switch, providing an even more
contextually optimized experience. Lire le reste de larticle -->

16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 19nha The startup emerged at a time when
the industry was questioning whether or not Facebook commerce, or
f-commerce, as some had abbreviated it, was actually worthwhile.
Soldsie, which first launched in May 2012, found that Facebook
commerce could work, when it wasnt just some other tab for users to
click into, but could instead leverage the social activities
already taking place across these retailers, sellers and businesses
Facebook profile pages. On Facebook, sellers were sharing photos of
their items for sale, which fans would then comment on, like and
re-share. Soldsie then added another layer to that ongoing activity
allowing visitors to comment SOLD in order to make a purchase.
Consumers would only have to register one time with the Soldsie
application, which allowed the business to access their personal
data, including their email address. On the backend, Soldsie
provides an interface for managing the invoicing process, with
tools for tracking sales, invoices, inventory and more. Lire le

16 MAI 2014 - Pira- 24nha PDC Markets Smart Tablet RFID Reader
The tablet will enable hotels, resorts and amusement parks to read
a visitors RFID wristband in order to provide access or services
based on the ID encoded to that bands passive tag. RFID Journal
PrecisionDynamicsCorp.(PDC),aproviderofIDwristbands and related
products, has begun marketing a tablet reader known as the Smart
Tablet, designed to allow users to capture the ID numbers encoded
to high-frequency (HF) 13.56 MHz passive RFID tags at such
locations as resorts, hotels and water parks, thereby enabling
faster check-in, payments or other services. The tablet, which PDC
debuted last month at the RFID Journal LIVE! 2014 conference and
exhibition, acts in the same way as a kiosk with a built-in reader,
but enables a companys staff to be mobile and thereby go directly
to people wearing the RFID bracelets, rather than requiring them to
seek out a kiosk. PDC partnered with software company Kioware,
which provides the tablets software for capturing and interpreting
read data. The tablet can then forward the collected data to a
back-end server via a Wi-Fi connection or GPRS. The device could
also store that information and upload it to the server at a later
time. Lire le reste de larticle --> ici
