Early design of laptops still intact!

Laptop back in 1982
It's incredible that the Grid Compass computer—created way back in 1982—still retains its industrial design dreaminess. It's clunky, sure, owing to technical constraints of the time—but the matte black finish and tight anglesare still enough to get us all hot and bothered. By computer design standards, at least. And it was tough, too—built well enough to be taken into space on NASA missions.It's also worth noting the obvious—that 28 years later, the thinnest, fastest, and most overall advanced components in the world are still inside Moggridge's basic clamshell form factor. Great design doesn't just workwell—it sticks around.

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just l...

iTunes Connect is down!

Something is wrong in Cupertino. A number of developers today turned to Twitter to complain that iTunes Connect, a hub for iOS and Mac software makers, was logging them into the wrong accounts. The service appears to be matching log-ins with the wrong accounts, showing apps and usernames from completely different people. When developers try to access one of the apps, they receive an error message leading them back to their own account. iTunes Connect has since been taken offline as Apple’s engineers presumably set off to fix the problem. We’ve contacted Apple and will update if we hear back. Culled from: The Next Web
