One major complaint about reading an eBook is the experience; holding an iPad is just not the same as holding a book and thumbing through the pages.

The interface uses the private Apple...

Google+ Is Going To Mess Up The Internet
I am fed up with Google+ on Mac OS X. If I try to assign someone following me to a circle I get the error that I have reached my daily limit. This is even if I haven’t assigned anyone to a circle in days or even weeks. Adding to circles doesn’t work on Mac Desktop browsers. It has rarely if ever worked, all they have done is change the error message. If I can’t assign people to...

Obamacare to the Rescue | The Health Care Blog
By Spike Dolomite Ward I want to apologize to President Obama. But first, some background. I found out three weeks ago I have cancer. I’m 49 years old, have been married for almost 20 years and have two kids. My husband has his own small computer business, and I run a small nonprofit in the San Fernando Valley. I am also an artist. Money is tight, and we don’t spend it frivolously....

Google Currents is above app. The ability to share is great but I am not sure about some design choices in the UI. You have to flip sideways to move from page to page in an article. This probably takes a design cue from traditional magazines but on an iPhone it means a constant flipping from page to page when the natural tendency is to want to scroll down the page with a flick of the finger.
