Hello dear readers,
I am currently writing my Master Thesis and are fully focused on my subject “strategic innovation in the experience economy”.
I will update this blog with my findings once I am done end of this year.
Best, skyrocketman.
“If you consider that Apple has said it has sold a cumulative 315 million iOS devices to date, that implies that Instagram is probably on more than 10 percent of all active iPhones.”
The 8 Billion Dollar iPod. Interesting analysis of Rob Reid about the current concerns of copy right mathematicians. Not to be taken too seriously though. There are some number mix-ups, however, the message is valid. ACTA and SOPA are nonsense!

If that’s really the new Windows 8 logo, something interesting is happening. It’s then inspired by Windows Phone new UI paradigm, Live Tiles. Basically Tiles are – similar to app icons – a starting point to dive into the app’s information space. But depending on a devices size they show much more without requesting to touch the tile/icon and by this opening an app. That could be a changed symbol in the weather app (sun, cloud, rain) or information as the headlines of received mails. The paradigm is – at least in my point of view - based on Jef Raskin’s (interface brain behind the Macintosh project in the 70ies) attitude not to hide information behind an abstract thing like an icon. In simple words: Microsoft’s Live Tiles might reduce the amount of timeconsuming tapping and clicking a lot. Because you already see what you want to know without opening an app. In fact there is no app any more. It’s more about how deep you wanna dive into specific information. Live Tiles are seen as powerful by the corporation to affect the logo design of the whole Windows 8 family. Maybe a hint for a revolutionary mobile first approach that can kill the whole outdated desktop/icons/trashcan metaphors. Or maybe just a puff of air.
