As if we didn’t need more evidence that tech corps are as human as the rest…
The Techcrunch Disrupt NY 2016 gathering was this week, a time that’s marked some pretty interesting times in privacy and security. At the start of the week I came across this survey – the CIGI-Ipsos Global Survey on Internet Security and Trust 2016. Everyone loves an unwieldy title, and this report had some fascinating results. 57% […]
HP’s new logo is a simplicity at its best
Beautiful. As seen on Under Consideration. Sometimes a design is so well executed in its minimalism, there’s not much needs saying. HP has always struggled with being seen a stodgy, old and outdated. Their logo, the classic execution of letters in a corporate circle, embodied that. Their new logo, based tightly on work by Moving […]
An encryption battle is brewing…
Apple revealed last Friday that the average iPhone user unlocks their phone 80 times a day. That’s an incredible statistic. That’s 6-7 times an hour in the average 12 hour active day. Or once every 10 minutes. I think I’m falling behind the average. Anyway, it’s a very relevant statistic in the ongoing growth and discussion around the […]
Governance and the keys to the kingdom
Governance. Wikipedia calls it “the way the rules, norms and actions are produced, sustained, regulated and held accountable.” (coincidentally enough, as at April 2016, the entry on governance also notes that the article needs attention from an expert in Philosophy or Business. No shit, it took 3 paragraphs for the Wiki entry to get to that […]
That moment when you realise Kanye West may be a genius…
It’s been an interesting time to be Kanye West so far in 2016. In early Feb, he teased TLOP, the initials for his upcoming album, and the interwebs went wild trying to guess. The idea that it was called The Life of Pablo…I’m sure there’s a subtext in there. Then he went on a world […]
How the chaining of blocks could build a transformation
Blockchain. So hot right now. And misunderstood. Look, I’m not really going to try and explain blockchaining. Go and read the Re/Code article, and try not to get distracted by the other interesting articles that you might…squirrel! It’s incredibly clever in its simplicity by creating security through a distributed network of trust and self-validation, that gets […]
What’s new is even newer. From CX to XD.
At South by Southwest (SXSW) 2016, the big media/tech/art/futurism conference, leading design strategist and thinker John Maeda talked about his second Design in Tech report. I consider Maeda to be one of the most important voices in making design matter as an essential part of our daily lives, and the life of a brand. He […]
Customer Experience.
What, no clever title, you ask? Not this time – it’s not because the subject is so serious, but I think the words are mysterious enough already. Customer experience is a more recent bogeyman (read: buzzword). It’s been around long enough to impact our thinking and strategies, and for people to claim to be gurus, but not […]
Social VR, Facebook, Samsung…oh what a day
It was an eventful day at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. A day that shall be henceforth known as Zuckerday. Samsung has some new phones coming soon. In an exciting move, you can get a Gear VR if you preorder. Nicely played Samsung. Like, Oprah meme nice. Seriously, that shit’s already on memegenerator. And they […]
