Mobile Site vs. Mobile App: WHat
http://brolik.com/blog/mobile-site-vs-mobile-app/
As an agency executive, marketer or business decision maker, you’re probably considering your mobile marketing strategy and how much time and attention you’re devoting to mobile products and initiatives. The debate is no longer “should we” create a mobile site or optimize for mobile users, it’s now “how should we?”

Let’s start by looking at the options when it comes to mobile marketing, and clearly define the differences between each. (You may be surprised how often people confuse them.) I sat down with Chuck Sacco, VP of Client Strategy at Movitas to help shed some light on mobile technology and what you need to know.

Its 2012 - Nobody cares about your website

Great Marketing information about the new way we're using the web.
Show HN: Phraisely.com, look up words by their description
https://phraisely.com/
My writing process is a constant back and forth between jotting down a few words and a [insert] placeholder, as in the "I'll-complete-that-sentence-later-once-I-remember-the-correct-word" note.

So, I built phraisely.
It is a reverse thesaurus: you input a detailed description, and the app returns its best guesses.

Compared to the existing solutions for this task, phraisely attempts to better understand the full context in your query, making it more accurate when looking up words using long descriptions.

For example, if I search for "being home at night watching Netflix on the couch", results can contain "relaxing" and "unwinding" but also "binge-watching" since I mentioned Netflix. Bonus points when I get some slang in the results (e.g. couch-potatoing).

The aim is to have an assistant that writes with you. But it doesn't do it for you. Overall, I believe that writing is a frustrating process. Frustration stimulates creativity. And creativity is precious.

It is the first functioning version of the app.
I'm regularly reviewing the output's quality and am working on tailoring it better to user needs. Also, my long term plan would be introducing languages other than English in the results. Although, the app can already understand some input text from other common languages, like Spanish.

Boring things that keep production apps reliable.
http://developers.freshbooks.com/blog/2011/04/21/the-boring-things-that-keep-production-apps-reliable/
Over the years, Freshbooks has grown from a monolithic PHP application to a complex ecosystem of numerous Pylons and Sparkplug apps that support the main app our users interact with daily.

Show HN: The Jeff Bezos-Washington Post Conflict-of-Interest Crayon

Tested and works in Chrome and Safari; doesn't work in my Firefox but I'm too ignorant to know why. Any help with that would be appreciated, as would any and all contributions to the wiki.

The REAL value of Kinect and why it matters

Why Kinetic matters:
http://www.memo.tv/kinect_why_it_matters

Small part of the article:

What the kinect does, is nothing new. There have been depth sensing cameras on the market for quite a while, and some probably with better quality and build. What sets the kinect apart? Its price. At £130 it isn't something everyone can go out and buy a handful of, but it is a consumer device. It is a device that most people who want it can either buy it, or will know someone who can get hold of one or they can borrow. It is a potential common household item. Whereas anything else on the market that comes close to its capabilities costs significantly more (starting at £2000, jumping up to £4000-£5000+), and not to mention being aimed at industrial businesses, robotics, military etc. they are considerably more complicated to acquire and use.
But why does this matter?
For me it's very simple. I like to make things that know what you are doing,...

Bypass the iPhone 4/4S passcode security lock
http://edi.budimilic.com/2012/05/07/bypass-the-iphone-44s-passcode-security-lock/
I’ve watched a video on YouTube where some guy bypassed the security lock on his jailbroken iPhone by viciously pulling and inserting his SIM card; some crazy method to bypass the lock and see the phone contacts :) definitely not worth a try if you found a locked iPhone in some bar ;) By watching that video, a thought came to my mind, actually two of them. Why this guy didn’t tried to tap the “contacts” button while on an emergency call, and why he didn’t try to launch the multitasking by double tapping the home button. I have tried both methods and it worked!

Double tapping the home button while on a Emergency call screen showed all the previously used apps, you could easily switch between them but not go to the home screen; so I tried the other method. Call the iPhone from your other phone if you know the number, answer it, tap the “contacts” button and now hit the home button; that’s it! You’re on a home screen with full control over device. Don’t forget this only works on jailbroken devices, I have tested it on iOS 4.2.1 and iOS 5.01.

In-App Product Placement Or The Future of Mobile Ads
http://subprint.com/blog/in-app-product-placement-or-the-future-of-mobile-ads
Ask nearly anyone if they want ads in their mobile experience and most of them will respond with a stentorian "no". The late Steve Jobs even stated in 2010 that mobile ads "suck". Yet the dollar spend in mobile "ads" is going up exponentially and is predicted to soar over the next few years, from $3.3 billion in 2011 to a whopping $20.6 billion by 2015.

Yet therein lies the rub. If consumers are so turned off by mobile ads then how does mobile ad-based revenue increase over 600% in the next few years?
