The First Six Months Developing For The Computer On My Face

The First Six Months Developing For The Computer On My Face

By on May 25, 2013 in Android, Applications, iPhone

Editor’s note:  Jon Gottfried is a Developer Evangelist at Twilio, Co-Founder of the Hacker Union, and a StartupBus Conductor. Follow him on Twitter  @jonmarkgo . Being one of the first cyborgs in the world, I have been privy to a unique set of bizarre experiences that have led to some early observations and theories about the future of Google Glass and wearable technology. At Glass Foundry SF, among the likes of Twitter , Facebook , Tumblr, the New York Times and Hearst, was a rag-tag group of independent developers building Ice Breaker : myself, Song Zheng, and Rajiv Makhijani . When I pitched the idea of creating a Google Glass version of the dorm-room game Assassins, I thought it would be an interesting tongue-in-cheek jab at the Terminator-esque form of this new piece of technology

50M Matches Strong, Hot Mobile Dating App Tinder Is Ready To Go Global, And Move Beyond Flirting

50M Matches Strong, Hot Mobile Dating App Tinder Is Ready To Go Global, And Move Beyond Flirting

By on May 25, 2013 in Android, iPhone

Digital dating is nothing to scoff at; it’s a big business, and it’s changed a lot of lives — mostly for the better. Yet, while dating has seen enormous progress during the Digital Era, there’s still a lot garbage out there, and the space is still mostly dominated by a handful of old names. A gaggle of dating sites and apps have appeared over the past five years, but few have had real staying power, and many have gone the way of the dinosaur. While it’s still too early to make any pronouncements, it’s looking more and more like Tinder could buck the trend. Created by Hatch Labs — an LA-based startup backed by IAC , the same Barry Diller-led digital media giant that owns Match.com and OKCupid — Tinder has grown like a weed since it launched in October.

Google Now’s “Topics” Page Returns And Shows You How Much Google Knows About You, But It Only Works On Android

Google Now’s “Topics” Page Returns And Shows You How Much Google Knows About You, But It Only Works On Android

By on May 25, 2013 in Android

A few weeks ago, Google briefly made a “Google Now” topics page available on the web and then took it down again. The page showed a list of topics Google believed you were interested in, based on your search history. Now this feature is back, but it’s a bit different from the leaked page. A few days ago, it seems, the company quietly (re-)launched this feature with the latest Google Now update.

Gmail For Android Could Soon Get A Navigation Drawer

Gmail For Android Could Soon Get A Navigation Drawer

By on May 24, 2013 in Android, Video

The folks over on Android Police must have spent some of their time rewatching I/O videos. While they were doing that, they spotted a potential leak during the “ Structure in Android App Design ” session. In it, it seems, Google quietly leaked screenshots of what looks to be a revamped interface for the Gmail app. If this turns out to be a real product, and the presentation sure made it look like that, the app could soon get a new navigation drawer that should make using it quite a bit easier – especially for those of us who like to use lots of labels in Gmail.

CommonKey Brings Password Management To Small Teams

CommonKey Brings Password Management To Small Teams

By on May 24, 2013 in Android

There are a number of password management solutions on the market today, but CommonKey , a new browser extension out this week, has a different take. Instead of focusing only on the needs of the individual user or offering a complex solution for the enterprise, it provides a password management system which allows small businesses the ability to share passwords securely across a team. The bootstrapped, Baltimore-based startup was co-founded this October by Andrew Stroup, a civilian engineer who currently works at the Department of Defense, and Michael Cohen, whose programming background is in the medical sector. Obviously, both of these industries involve a deep awareness and understanding of security and privacy. Stroup today works in the realm of countering weapons of mass destruction, and no, he can’t talk much about his work there.
