The Pathway explores how systems responsive to behaviour patterns and sensor data enable new experiences better suited to individual user needs. It aims to solve specific design challenges around the self learning process, balancing dynamic and consistent interface elements, approaches to privacy management and making it easy for users to correct contextual mistakes. • In which scenarios do real-time sensor data and behavioural patterns combine most effectively to reveal user context?
• What is the right balance between dynamic, contextually responsive elements and consistency in the user interface?
• How can contextually responsive experiences respect privacy yet learn user behaviour quickly enough to deliver benefit?
• How do graceful failure techniques allow users to correct inaccurate contextual guesses and reassure the system is learning from mistakes?

Bertrand Serlet is widely considered to be the brains behind Apple's Mac operating system. He was even mentioned as a possible successor to Steve Jobs at one point. So it came as a shock to some when Serlet decided to step down in March, 2011 after 22 years with the company. At the time, Serlet offered a vague explanation for his decision, noting that he wanted to "focus less on products and more on science." He didn't mention any specific plans at the time and has effectively dropped off the radar, until now. Business Insider has learned that Serlet has spent much of the time since his departure from Apple working with at least two other former Apple employees to launch a cloud computing startup in downtown Palo Alto called Upthere. The startup is still in stealth mode, so information about it is scarce, but we've uncovered a few details about the company through job postings, trademark requests, domain name registrations and tweets from employees.

"...Nous avions la technologie, la capacité de miniaturisation apprise avec l'iPod. Nous avions le système d'exploitation du Mac. Personne n'avait pensé à mettre dans un téléphone un système d'exploitation aussi sophistiqué que Mac OS X, et c'était justement la vraie question. Nous avons eu un gros débat en interne sur notre capacité à y arriver ou pas. Et c'était l'un de ces moments où j'ai du trancher. On y va, on va essayer. Les meilleurs ingénieurs en logiciel disaient que c'était impossible alors on leur a donné le feu vert. Et ils ont reussi." -- Steve Jobs en 2007

ZangZing had been cleverly standing out as a possible "after MobileMe" solution for those who cannot wait for iOS6 "share from Photostream" feature unveiled at WWDC. Joseph Ansanelli's team had designed a superior user interface, a clever ingestion mechanism including fetching albums from other sites, along with comprehensive privacy settings while sharing albums with others. The email below is therefore a total surprise for subscribers as well as a strong disappointment, and we don't understand yet what motivated it. Now that two consumer photosharing services are gone, which of the remaining ones will stand out and take care of the rest of us ? -- Hi Philippe, Unfortunately, we have some sad news to share. On July 2nd, ZangZing will no longer accept new users to join or new photos to be uploaded. On August 31st, we will be shutting down ZangZing and permanently deleting all photos, contact information, and account information. To download your original photos, please follow these steps:
Sign in at www.zangzing.com/signinMouse-over the album you would like to downloadClick the "i" menu and choose Download. This will create a Zip file of all the original photos in that album. Once each album is completely downloaded, then begin the next album download as simultaneous downloads can become corrupted on some web browsersRepeat this for all your albums If you have any problems, please refer to this Help article, http://zan.gy/Gzv1Qd. Thank you for sharing our same passion for design, privacy, and group photo sharing. You inspired us. The ZangZing Team ____________________________ ZangZing

RIM is considering selling its handset business, according to a report in the British paper The Sunday Times.
Fair warning though, the report does not cite any sources, so treat the news with some skepticism.
The Sunday Times says Facebook and Amazon are two potential buyers for RIM's handset business. RIM would keep its enterprise services if such a deal went through, according to the report.

Shortly after Apple dumped Google Maps for iOS, Google announces it's time to dramatically cut the price for others using the online service. Google also gives a plug for its map-based ad service.

Evernote, the popular note taking app, released data about average annual revenue per user across different platforms. Evernote has more than 34 million users so it's a pretty good window into monetization trends.
Apple's iOS platform, on the iPhone and iPad, generated some of the highest revenues per user. Blackberry was surprisingly high, but this is likely because many of them are enterprise workers (whom a note taking app would appeal to). Android was at the bottom, even below Windows Phone.
Evernote's data reaffirms that Android has a major monetization problem with app developers. Flurry recently found that for developers with apps on both platforms, Android apps generate only 24 percent of the revenue generated by iOS. App Annie was a little more generous, finding that Google Play (the main Android app store) generates about 40 percent the revenue for developers as Apple's App Store. However, AppAnnie also found that revenues were growing at the same rate on both platforms. In other words, the monetization gap is not closing.

Le 30 juin 2012, en même temps que le réseau Transpac, s’arrêtera le trafic Minitel. Si ses usages ont été éclipsés par ceux de l’Internet dans la seconde moitié des années 1990, le Minitel a joué un rôle essentiel dans la diffusion sociale des technologies de l’information et de la communication en France. Sa conception technique (notamment le système Télétel), son approche économique (modèle du kiosque), son design et son graphisme, son interface homme/machine, ses messageries, ont construit une approche de « l’industrie de l’information et de la communication », qu’on interrogera de manière interdisciplinaire. Ce colloque reviendra sur les évolutions, continuités, ruptures entraînées par la pénétration rapide et massive dans le grand public de ce système interactif. Il s’agira de penser son appropriation, ses enjeux et les usages de cette technologie par ses différents acteurs : acteurs des télécommunications, monde professionnel, éditeurs de services, grand public... Si la genèse du Minitel et les premiers usages sont bien connus, il est nécessaire de replacer cette technologie de linformation et de la communication dans le temps long de l’histoire des médias et de l’innovation, des sciences de l’information et de la communication, de l’histoire des entreprises, etc.

Déjà présente l’année dernière, la Pecha Kucha revient à Futur en Seine ! Le concept ? Un designer présente son projet en vingt images pendant vingt secondes chacune. L’objectif ? Rendre dynamiques des présentations souvent ennuyeuses. Le bruit de la conversation. Voilà ce que signifie Pecha Kucha en japonais. Initiées pour la première fois à Tokyo en 2003, ces soirées se sont depuis propagées dans 532 villes à travers le monde. Débarquée à Futur en Seine et organisée par Benjamin Girard, Cédric Ingrand et Alexis Tourn, Pecha Kucha a été l’occasion pour douze professionnels de présenter leurs projets.

Twitter data is potentially lucrative for the global communications business. It can inform when to serve up advertisements on the site and for what kinds of products. It also produces cool graphs and charts.

It's important to note that this chart only shows PCs vs. Macs--full-fledged computers that Apple actually doesn't sell that many of. (Mac sales are growing nicely, in stark contrast to the PC market, but they aren't blowing any doors off). If the chart included sales of iPhones and iPads, the ratio of PCs sold to Apple products sold would look quite different. And given that the distinction between "a PC" and a tablet or smartphone is becoming ever more blurred, the latter chart would actually be more meaningful.

"The iPhone turns five this week. One of the most impressive things about the iPhone's five year run is that the average selling price of the phone has remained just about the same around $600, notes Horace Dediu of Asymco. Meanwhile, Apple's rivals pull in less than $400 per device. Think about that for a second. Apple defined the modern smartphone market with the iPhone. It then faced an onslaught of competition from Google, Microsoft, Palm, and Research In Motion. Despite their various efforts to dethrone the iPhone, Apple has managed to stay on top. This is evident by the fact that since 2008 Apple has never had to slash its prices. With all the competition, and pressure from carriers, if Apple was losing the smartphone battle, you'd expect it to cut the price of the phone. Instead, it's been steady."

Often considered the eventual successor to flash, phase change memory has had a tough time getting to the point where it would truly take over; when it takes longer to write data than conventional RAM, there's clearly a roadblock.

T-Mobile USA subscribers with smartphones capable of accessing the carrier's HSPA+ 42 Mbps network consume an average of 1.3 GB per month. The figure is almost double the 760 MB per month that T-Mobile said its overall smartphone user base consumes, and it highlights the fact that users generally consume more mobile data if they have access to a faster network. Click here for Ray's full presentation. (PDF) According to Chetan Sharma Consulting, roughly 30 percent of all U.S. smartphone users download more than 1 GB of data per month. T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray disclosed the carrier's figures during a presentation at the NGMN conference in San Francisco. Ray also said that video accounts for almost 50 percent of T-Mobile's overall HSPA network traffic. Currently, T-Mobile offers an HSPA+42 network covering 184 million POPs in 185 markets, and its HSPA+21 network covers around 220 million POPs. The carrier advertises the network as "America's largest" that provides "4G" speeds. Indeed, independent tests have shown that T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 network offers download speeds of around 8 Mbps, similar to what Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) provides via its LTE network.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2012.
