iPhone, any colour you like as long as it’s….

The next release from Apple: a Model-i car.

The next release from Apple: the Model-i family wagon.

The iPhone is almost unheralded in its brand recognition and the ubiquity of its appeal. In a world where individuality and setting oneself apart by having your own ‘style’ is almost an obsession with early adopters, the iPhone somehow manages to cut across every strata of society and sub-culture, to remain an object of intense desire amongst trend-setters worldwide. From the ultra-chique nightclub set in their little black dresses, to the tweed-wearing, moustachioed steampunk enthusiast pedalling to work on his ‘fixie’ bicycle, everyone wants an iPhone.

Which is strange, considering the uniformity of the design. They come in two colours: black and white. The iPhone 4 did not even have detachable covers available on release, with which you can apply your own mark of individuality to the device, but that didn’t stop Apple moving over 3 million units (in the USA alone) in their first three weeks of sales.

As reported recently in The New York Times, the U.K. Telegraph, and many other sources, Google have recently launched their own ‘App Store’. This has been described as an “attempted to sound the death knell for desktop-based computing”, and Google aren’t pulling any punches.

They sat down over 5,000 of the world’s top developers at their conference in San Francisco, and announced the forthcoming Chrome App Store, where web users will be able to buy fully online applications which will have uses across business, social networking, management, and games.

So what is all this ‘Cloud Computing’ stuff, and what does it mean to your business? Fortunately for you, Komodo CMS is a perfect example of it, and we have been working in the concept for years already.

Change your font and save dollar$

Category: Corporate,Designadmin @ 12:48 pm

A US study has found that you can save money on ink cartridge costs by using size 10 font Century Gothic. (And let’s face it: NONE of us work in the completely Paperless office yet.)

Printer.com conducted the test with the Canon Pixma MP 210 for home users and the Brother HL-2140 laser printer to test business use.
They found that Century Gothic returned 31% savings in both printers.

“For the average private user, printing approximately 25 pages per week, this will easily generate a net reduction of US $20 in a year. A business-user, printing approximately 250 pages per week, could save $80,” wrote the Printer.com blog.

“If your organization uses multiple printers, you can save hundreds of dollars per year doing nothing more than picking a more economical font.”

Thom Brown, an ink researcher at Hewlett Packard told the Associated Press that a font with “”narrow” or “light” in its name is usually better at saving ink than its “bold” or “black” counterpart.typeface

FONT SAVINGS:
1. Century Gothic
2. Ecofont
3. Times Roman
4. Calibri
5. Verdana
6. Arial
7. Sans Serif
8. Trebuchet
9. Tahoma
10.Franklin Gothic Medium
