Foto Find: Angry Birds breakfast

This is super cute — a breakfast styled to look just like the popular Angry Birds app. A woman had some complications during her pregnancy, and she was bedridden and restricted to only eating certain types of food during childbirth. So, her husband started making food art, using the various foods that she could eat in the morning, and he eventually came around to this little tribute to one of the most popular games on the App Store.

It’s wild — those are pickles and carrots along the bottom, whole grain Eggo waffles in the middle, halved hard boiled eggs for the birds, and I’m not quite sure what the pigs are; they’re probably some kind of veggies. But he even got the eyes and the eyebrows just right. Very impressive! Parenting magazine says she’s due in December, and we definitely hope that everything works out all right.

New Apple TV firmware: iOS-based and available now

Just slightly ahead of the new Apple TV’s arrival at purchasers’ doorsteps, Apple has posted the restore firmware for the new device (download link). The firmware’s filename and .ipsw extension both confirm what practically everyone already knew: the new Apple TV runs on a flavor of iOS, the same operating system running on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. That, combined with the Micro-USB “service port” on the Apple TV’s backside, means it’s only a matter of time until it gets jailbroken.

Apple TV running iOS also means it would be relatively trivial for Apple to introduce an App Store for the device. In fact, with a more general-purpose version of something like Apple’s Remote app, Apple could very easily allow existing iOS devices to act as a universal remote for virtually any existing app, thereby giving the Apple TV access to the more than 250,000 apps already available on the App Store. This would also be consistent with the “ship first, add features later” paradigm Apple’s followed so far with devices running iOS; remember, the first iPhone and iPod touch both shipped before there was such a thing as an App Store, and look where we are now.

TUAW Review: Tagalicious for iTunes metadata, artwork, and lyrics

Tagalicious is a $20 Mac application from the The Little App Factory (best known for their excellent DVD ripper RipIt), which will clean up your iTunes library metadata, fetch artwork, and even find lyrics. So far, it’s been extremely impressive both in accuracy and price.

I had a Guns N’ Roses song “1-01 Sweet Child O’ Mine.mp3” with existing metadata saying it was the song “Sweet Child O’ Mine” from their Greatest Hits album. Tagalicious said it was “Welcome to the Jungle.” I played the file in iTunes, and sure enough, my metadata was wrong. It was “Welcome to the Jungle.” I have no idea how Tagalicious figured that out, but I suspect it is guilty of practicing witchcraft.

The current version 1.0.1 shows a great deal of promise, although it lacks some more advanced features. Then again, that is what version 1.x releases are all about: get a solid foundation started, and then see where you need to grow.

Read on for more details and information.

Developers like Android, Google and Apple unite, plus more in today’s news.

A survey indicates that 58.6 percent of respondents to a recent survey believe Android has a better long-term outlook over iOS. I wonder how many of the developers they surveyed have sold an app in the Appstore.

The European Union has dropped two iPhone Related antitrust cases against Apple. Even the EU doesn’t want to mess with Apple.

Apple and Google have extended the deal that brought Google search to the iOS. I am surprised Apple has come out with their own search engine, iSearch anyone?

Here is a video of someone comparing the iPhone to a phone running Windows Phone 7. I keep hearing how nice WP7 looks but honestly, I think the design of the OS is terrible.

That is it for today. I hope everyone had a good Monday, see you tomorrow.

Finger Tools

In my spare time, I sketch (and sometimes build) user interface concepts, to see if they actually work in real life. Most of them exist only as private tools for my own use, but I created one recently that I’d like to show you. One annoying thing about desktop UIs that has also appeared on […]

Touch Notation

Within the last twelve to eighteen months, I’ve crossed a threshold whereby the vast majority of my work is now aimed at touch-screen devices. I often have to sketch out feature specs, interaction designs and so forth, and I enjoy working on paper whenever I can. I quickly encountered a problem: touch-screen gestures are difficult […]

MGSplitViewController for iPad

MGSplitViewController is an open source replacement for UISplitViewController, with various useful enhancements. Here’s a demonstration video hosted on YouTube. It’s better if you watch it in full HD. Donations I wrote MGSplitViewController for my own use, but I’m making it available (as usual) for the benefit of the iOS developer community, because I care about […]
