Wireless LED Lights That Don’t Shine Like LED Lights

Wireless LED Lights That Don’t Shine Like LED Lights | Alt Digital | Scoop.it

Released last fall to the adoration of design blogs, Hue provides enough innovations to the way we light up our homes to make you long for the days when a wall-mounted light switch will be a techological relic.

 

A Hue kit--sold for $199 at the Apple store-- come with four wireless LED bulbs, a wireless hub, and an app that you download for your smartphone or tablet and use to communicate with the bulbs, up to 50 at a time.

 

The LEDs can shine at any color on the spectrum, and, with a click, will absorb the exact color from a photograph on your phone. Or you can rely on Hue’s premixed color "recipes," which are tested to promote relaxation, concentration, energy, or reading.

 

Philips isn’t the only player in the game, of course. About the same time that Hue was announced, the Kickstarter drive for LIFX, another Wi-Fi-enabled LED, knocked it out of the park by raising $1.3 million, more than 10 times its goal. LIFX ups the ante by promising to "visualise your music with animated colors" and integrating with Facebook and Twitter for notifications.

Editorial: Why the Apple iPad Succeeds

Why the Apple iPad Succeeds

 

If you give a child an iPad you don't have to worry about porn. You don't have to worry about a child really doing something to your computer that will cause it to need repair. The iPad has the right balance of function, form and ability. The Apple iPad succeeds as regardless of your age you can use it.

 

The Apple iPad is a great tablet for young and old. I think there's a need for an iPad Pro and I think Apple will give us an iPad Pro for business, for adults and for those who love to do computerish things with a tablet. I think it's coming. I just don't know when. The iPad Pro it would seem to me imho inevitable. 

 

Apple isn't done giving us totally new products or awesome updates. It's what Apple does. Of course if Apple stops doing those things then Apple would be no longer Apple and could fail. So far I think Apple is still capable of innovation and ingenuity. Apple still has it's luster. Tim Cook will polish Apple in late 2013, early 2014. Stay tuned...

10 Reasons Android beats iOS 7 -

10 Reasons Android beats iOS 7 - | Alt Digital | Scoop.it

Six years after the first iPhone launched, Apple has finally made some major changes to the look and feel of its mobile operating system. Most of these improvements — including the new Notification Center, quick multitasking and Wi-Fi direct transfers — have been available on Android devices for years. So, if you wanted to transfer files quickly between phones, you could have done that just by tapping them together as long ago as 2011 . If you wanted to move quickly and easily between open apps, Android has provided a really great task-switching menu since version 4.0.

Perhaps sometime in 2014, Apple will get around to providing support for common Android features from 2012, such as NFC, floating windows and custom keyboards. Fortunately, there’s no need to wait for Tim Cook and crew to play catch-up. Here are 10 ways Android beats iOS 7 today.

Of course Mary Meeker is influential. She's a great cheerleader. I wonder how many have read Bill Joy's "Why the Future Doesn't Need Us"? It presents a more reasonable future forcaste than the rosy Mary Meeker Wall Street angle.....
