RCPopoverView
I recently open sourced RCPopoverView, a simple cocoa class that presents a generic or custom UIView that slides in horizontally. It uses gesture recognizers to allow the user to pan the view as well as dismiss it by sliding the view off to the right.
This functionality was inspired by Sam Vermette’s work on the Shows app.
Everpix
Highly suggest mac users check it out. I like using Everpix, but my biggest gripe is having to keep my photos in 2 different libraries. It still feels unorganized.
My only hope: Apple + Everpix. Please happen.
Netflix's "Big Data" Programming
David Carr for NYT:
Netflix, which has 27 million subscribers in the nation and 33 million worldwide, ran the numbers. It already knew that a healthy share had streamed the work of Mr. Fincher, the director of “The Social Network,” from beginning to end. And films featuring Mr. Spacey had always done well, as had the British version of “House of Cards.” With those three circles of interest, Netflix was able to find a Venn diagram intersection that suggested that buying the series would be a very good bet on original programming.
Doesn’t this just reek of Firefly also making a comeback? I alluded to all of this a couple of years ago. And now it’s playing out…
I would definitely love to see the return of Firefly
Sony fails to show PS 4 console at PS 4 event
A great headline by Sam Byford for The Verge for a true farce of an event. Sony rushed to reveal basically nothing.
I stand by my prediction that Apple eats their lunch later this year. At the very least, Apple seems to have the basics down: reveal when ready. Don’t waste peoples’ time. Ship.
There’s nothing more invigorating than being deeply involved with a small company and a young team of founders out to do something incredibly special. And everybody’s betting against us. It’s another mission impossible.
