Who said that developing isn’t hard work?
You’d better watch this Apple “Safari Technologies Evangelist” running into humid trouble after her presentation about Key Practices for iPhone Application Development…. Quite funny and weird to see that online, they could have recorded it again, no?
Watch out this fun one and other great iPhone SDK presentation videos here: http://developer.apple.com

It’s Friday and I usually post some pictures of scantily clad cats dancing whilst high on coke and mentos, but not today.
Today is about Techcrunch integrating video comments via Seesmic.

Web designers eager to draw people into their sites are keen to understand the processes that lead to games’ phenomenal stickiness. Thankfully, they haven’t gone down the route of creating login forms that will only progress by collecting coins or solving puzzles; instead, savvy designers are deconstructing the mechanics of games and applying those lessons in ways relevant and unique to their services.

Ever wondered what happens to a sticker after it’s been stuck to a wall? No? In case you had Mumbleville lays it all out for you. Just to make things clear.
