Mac vs. PC Infographic

Great looking, amusing infographic from the Hunch blog comparing survey answers of Mac users to PC users. Don’t read the comments on that post if you want to continue thinking humanity has a chance.

Responsive web design trending, mobile first still lagging

Jason Grigsby of CloudFour has posted an interesting (as always) article on the latest trends in mobile first responsive web design and the numbers show the majority of responsive designs provide very little, if any, file size savings for their mobile versions.

Bypass Lane: Skip the concessions line with an app

Bypass Lane is a service that lets you use your phone to order food and then skip the concessions line at ballparks. It’s a great looking app and well designed website too. There’s an HTML5 web app along with native apps for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. I originally saw it advertised at the Ballpark in Arlington. I didn’t get to try the app at the game (the service isn’t available up in the cheap seats) but it seems like a great idea to avoid long lines at a big game.

A QR code on a cup from Taco Bell. The explanation text on what to do with it is six times as big as the QR code itself and requires two URLs for help. This is way easier than just showing a simple URL to type in.

Toyota releases, pulls down iPhone theme for jailbroken phones

Toyota Scion theme for the iPhone

Toyota Scion theme for the iPhone

There are lots of reasons to jailbreak your iPhone. Getting this official Toyota Scion theme is no longer one of them. It wasn’t actually good looking or useful, but it was interesting to see a big company like Toyota putting something out of Cydia. Of course Apple didn’t like that, and has forced Toyota to pull the theme down and it is no longer available. (via MobileCrunch)

Whoops. Chrysler tweets that people of Detroit can’t drive.

Don’t know how I missed this when it happened, just found this errant tweet from @ChryslerAutos about how Detroit people can’t drive via CNNMoney’s article on painful social media screwups. This is why I don’t link my work-related accounts to my phone or any app I use for personal tweets.

Whoops.

Looking for new bags for my MacBook Air

Tom Bihn Ristretto bag for 13-inch Macbook air

Heard good things from Dan Benjamin on both the Tom Bihn Ristretto and STM bags. Might order one this weekend as a larger, more functional bag for my laptop. My current one is nice but I can’t even fit the power cable in their comfortably.
