Paper: the next great iPad app, from the brains behind Courier
Great article from The Verge about this free iPad drawing app. I already downloaded it and it’s something special. I will say it’s a “free to use” model. If you want to to get more features like additional drawing tools and what not, you gotta throw some cash into it. But it looks like it could be worth the additional scratch. Here’s an excerpt from their review:

The tool Petschnigg and his company FiftyThree thought up is the aptly named Paper, designed exclusively for the iPad. It’s essentially a blank slate of paper devoid of settings panels, menus, and adjustable line widths. If Paper looks familiar, it’s probably because the team behind it had an interesting history: a handful of them spent several years at Microsoft, with a good chunk of that time focused on the Courier, a dual-screen, digital notebook which had the tech world salivating. That device and its software was very publicly killed by Microsoft, but you can see threads of it that survived in this new project.Read More

This is crazy. These guys use Microsoft AR tags to create a truly engaging, fluid experience that wouldn’t be possibly with any other tagging technology out there right now. Color me black impressed.

Fascinating! A good explanation of what’s going on here comes from commenter on the story “CaptainJack”:

“I think people are forgetting the big reason that HTC is paying Microsoft to License Android, and that is indemnity. Apple started going around suing everyone that made an Android phone with multi-touch, for various patent infringements including HTC. Google failed to step up to the plate to defend these manufacturers that were being sued for using Google’s operating system (Apple wasn’t targeting Google directly as they have much deeper pockets and a tenuous working relationship with Apple)

Microsoft saw this and stepped in with the various multi-touch patents they have in place as well. They informed any manufacturers that anyone licensing their OS would be provided indemnity from IP lawsuits, as Microsoft would pay their legal defense and come to their aid in patent suits that came as a result. HTC saw this as a cheap way to license patents and protect themselves from Apple’s lawyers and they have been paying for a Windows Phone 7 License for every Android device ever since. So ultimately Android was infringing on both MS and Apple’s patents. It became cheaper to just pay MS and have them reduce your risk from Apple.”

Interesting indeed.

I actually sat down and watched all 10 minutes of this. It was actually pretty interesting. The guy was able to play DOOM on all versions except 2000 (but everyone likes to pretend 2000 didn’t exist)

Oh wow, someone's actually reading this? OK, this is happening. My name is Alex and I'm a designer with slight anti-social tendencies. I'm black, live in the DFW metroplex, work at an ad agency, and drink alone in the dark on week nights. While being black, I write this blog as a creative outlet when not starting flame wars over the best episode of Battlestar Galactica (Gaeta's Uprising or The Final Five Revelation of course). I share interactive & design inspiration, the latest in pop culture, movies, and general nerdery.

I am currently unmarried and live alone. I make egg sandwiches and have no pets. I like eating tacos with no pants as well.
