Inbox
Ever send yourself an email just so you don’t forget to do something later? Google’s caught on, so its Inbox app will now suggest you set a reminder instead. Anytime you input your own email into the recipient box on the app, A little pop up will appear asking you whether you’d rather set a reminder via the app instead. Personally, I would usually email myself to quickly access a file on another device before becoming privy to services like Pushbullet or using cloud options for larger files. It’s a pretty common scenario, so it would be nice to see…

Did you back Dot, the “world’s smallest bluetooth headset” that made a big splash on Kickstarter not long ago? If so, you may have noticed the campaign is suspended, but the team has turned up on Indiegogo with a new crowdfunding campaign and an explanation. It seems Dot isn’t so unique after all. Launched on Kickstarter July 7, Dot raised nearly $300,000 — or 10 times its goal — before being sidelined. Though Kickstarter doesn’t detail why it suspended the account, the site’s terms of use state that users can’t “post information you know is false, misleading, or inaccurate,” and…

When you want to print a photo book you need a book printer. If you only need to do this once you could just use the cheapest printer you can find. If you’re a graphic designer who specializes in designing and producing photo books it helps to have a relationship with a printer, know their machines and the materials they use and invest in that relationship. When I was graduating from art school and worked with a graphic designer he explained all of this to me. He also explained how inexperienced designers would often go for the cheapest printer they could…

I never thought I’d witness an evocation of try-hard hipsterdom that summed it up for me like LCD Soundsystem’s 4:28 eye roll ‘Losing My Edge’ once did, but I’ve stumbled upon one, thanks to PSFK. It reported on the unveiling of WBBR, a radio station – available via an iPhone app – that’s so exclusive you can only access it on the Williamsburg Bridge. Inevitably, it’s the product of an advertising agency – Sid Lee – and a hipper than hip record label – UNO! WBBR delivers two songs each day for people making the bridge crossing: a motivational one for the ascent and a chill out…

The move to cloud apps and storage can bring a ton of benefits for businesses abandoning their on-site solutions, but there’s one big downside that often goes unnoticed: what will you ever do with all those empty server rooms? Google apparently feels guilty for its role here, so it’s gone ahead and proposed a few designs on its Google for Work blog you can use to redecorate those dark windowless rooms. For example, maybe you’re on a diet, so why not turn them into a hipster salad bar? The scarecrow will come in handy for all those indoor birds But…
