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.

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.

Pricing, Not Content Is King - At this rate,... →
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. Oh, and if they can ever roll...
