Realizations of Rounded Rectangles by Teebolt
http://teebolt.com/2015/06/25/realizations-of-rounded-rectangles
Innovation advocate, and outdoor enthusiast. Realizations of Rounded Rectangles. Great article from UI and Us:. Nänni confirmed my theory: “You are absolutely right. A rectangle with sharp edges takes indeed a little bit more cognitive visible effort than for example an ellipse of the same size. Our “fovea-eye” is even faster in recording a circle. Edges involve additional neuronal image tools. The process is therefore slowed down.”. Uses nearly-straight edges throughout its UI components.

Innovation advocate, and outdoor enthusiast. 5,200 Days in Space. Fascinating article on the lives of astronauts onbord the ISS:. Sleep position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often drifting out from your body, giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a wacky ballet dancer. I’m an inside guy, Hopkins says. I like to be cocooned up. Larr; Back to blog.

Testing Critical Software by Teebolt
http://teebolt.com/2015/06/16/testing-critical-software
Innovation advocate, and outdoor enthusiast. In the late 1980s, around the time the Airbus A340 was introduced (1991), those of us working in software engineering/safety used to exchange a (probably apocryphal) story. The story was about how the fly-by-wire avionics software on major commercial airliners was tested. Well that’s one way to do it. Larr; Back to blog.

BlackBerry CEO Wants Legislators To Make Developing BlackBerry Apps Mandatory by Teebolt
http://teebolt.com/2015/01/24/blackberry-ceo-wants-legislators-to-make-developing-blackberry-apps-mandatory
Innovation advocate, and outdoor enthusiast. BlackBerry CEO Wants Legislators To Make Developing BlackBerry Apps Mandatory. BlackBerry CEO John Chen, however, thinks this is unfair. In fact, he thinks it is so discriminatory that he wants legislators to widen the definition of net neutrality to include application neutrality. In other words, if a company makes an app for iOS and Android, they must also make a version for BlackBerry and all other operating systems. Call him out of “touch.”.
