Dutch Senate goes digital thanks to iPads →
While the program, including the app development and iPad purchases, cost €150,000 (around $204,150 USD), Dutch Senate Secretary General Geert Jan Hamilton told Reuters it would save the Senate around €140,000 in paper printing costs during the first year alone. After that, upkeep for the program will only be around €35,000 per year, so the Senate will quickly be able to recoup their initial...

Guy Kawasaki: What I learned from Steve Jobs →
Many people have explained what one can learn from Steve Jobs. But few, if any, of these people have been inside the tent and experienced first hand what it was like to work with him. I don’t want any lessons to be lost or forgotten, so here is my list of the top 12 lessons I learned from Steve Jobs.

dbox: Instagram Filters as Photoshop Actions →
dbox: I recently did a google search to see if anyone had “converted” instagram filters to photoshop actions. After not finding any results, I decided to see if I could do it myself. I didn’t get a 100% exact match, but it’s pretty close. Im starting with “Nashville” then will add more soon. Let me…

What, exactly, is a Product Manager? →
[P]roduct management [is] the intersection between business, technology and user experience (hint – only a product manager would define themselves in a venn diagram). A good product manager must be experienced in at least one, passionate about all three, and conversant with practitioners in all.

Did Apple get hacked today? Apparently not.
Right after today’s Apple Keynote ended, apple.com went down. A while later, I saw a tweet fly by suggesting Apple’s domain had been hacked and to check using whois. I quickly performed a whois form terminal and saw some crazy stuff.

Some see the Starz-Netflix negotiation as proof, once again, that content is king. Nope. Pricing is king. The eventual loser will not be Netflix, or its new owner. The loser will be the distribution channels which do not greedily charge $16 per month, but which greedily charge, on average, $80 a month and don’t recommend anything but pricier tiers of service.
