Look back at the career of Steve Jobs through this extensive collection of videos. Some of them are kinda funny to watch now – like how excited the audience was at the announcement and demonstration of WiFi on the clamshell iBooks back in the day.

Remove your Google web history easily (before the March 1st deadline)
Google announced back in January that on March 1st, your Google web search history will be made available to all Google properties (YouTube, Google+, Gmail, etc.) as part of their new privacy policy. If you don’t like that idea, you have about a week left to delete your search history. Here’s how you do it.
Log in to your Google account, then visit your Google Web Search History page. You’ll see all your searches and site visits listed. Click the box at the top labeled “Remove all Web History” to remove everything, or tick the checkboxes next to the list items you wish to delete and click the Remove button.
Generate QR Codes with analytics
Delivr offers QR Codes in a variety of formats, as well as a clickable link
I’ve mentioned QR Code generators in the past, but none can touch the usefulness of Delivr. Delivr doesn’t stop with generating QR Codes in a number of file formats, including vector. It’s a useful marketing tool that helps you track the results of your QR Code via detailed analytics.
With Delivr, you can log in to your dashboard to view detailed analytics on your QR Codes, including how many views your code generates and weather or not it was a web click or mobile scan. Other useful information includes time of scan, city, location coordinates the scan took place (plotted on a map!) and more.
iPhone 4/4S case with tripod mount, sun shade and more
The DiffCase offers tripod mounts, sunshade, and more
DiffCase: A different kind of iPhone case, indeed. One of the things I wish the iPhone had was a standard tripod mount built-in – but that would completely ruin the look of the beautiful phone. But since most of us tend to buy a case for the phone anyway, the DiffCase not only offers protection for your phone, but a dual tripod mounting system, and a sunshade/face cover as well.
Is Pinterest facilitating copyright infringement?
There’s a lot of internet buzz these days about new “social media” site Pinterest.com. I’m on Pinterest, and I find it to be a great service. Pinterest is a site that allows you to “pin” images and text for sharing with followers, and acts as a bookmarking system for interesting things. It’s a great place to find recipes, and DIY projects, among other things.
The question is, “Does Pinterest infringe upon copyright with its service?” Sean Locke Photography weighs-in on the issue in great detail.
Are you ready for IPv6?
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the language that computers and devices use to communicate with each other on the Internet; it works much like phone numbers, which let us connect one telephone to another.
IPv6 is the new version of the Internet Protocol. The addresses used by the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4, are nearly all used. At Google, we believe that IPv6 is essential to the continued health and openness of the Internet – and that by allowing all devices on a network to talk to each other directly, IPv6 will enable innovation and allow the Internet to continue to grow.

Easily create vector format QR Codes – and know when to use them
I’m not a huge fan of QR Codes, I think they’re a great idea that just hasn’t taken off. Regardless, if you have a client that wants to use them, you’ll need a way to create them. There are more than a few iPhone and OS X apps that can create them for you, but most only allow you to save a JPG or PNG version. Not very flexible.
Simple QR Code creation with vector file output
I set out to find one that allowed me to save a vector version so I could edit the colors freely, and scale the QR Code to any size I needed. Here’s what I found. (more…)
