A lot of inspiration in these samples. Thank you for this excellent collection. Some of them seem a little overwrought for digital space, such as the fun toggle buttons (a simulacrum of Inuit Parka closures designed to be manipulated by mitten muffled hands). More than 3 degrees of separation from the original intent I think, but fun. My picks? — the Share Button is great (Patrick Larsson) — as is Zendesk Project Lotus (Jason Wu).

Web startups are made out of two things: people and code. The people make the code, and the code makes the people rich. Code is like a poem; it has to follow certain structural requirements, and yet out of that structure can come art. But code is art that does something. It is the assembly of something brand new from nothing but an idea. More »

The average New York City taxi cab driver makes $90,747 in revenue per year. There are roughly 13,267 cabs in the city. In 2007, NYC forced cab drivers to begin taking credit cards, which involved installing a touch screen system for payment. During payment, the user is presented with three default buttons for tipping: 20%, 25%, and 30%. When cabs were cash only, the average tip was roughly 10%. After the introduction of this system, the tip percentage jumped to 22%. Those three buttons resul...  show all text

Among web designers and developers there is an ascendant group of (highly) literate geeks that have taken it upon themselves to articulate the challenges of and solutions to presenting networked content as they emerge. At the moment, I would say that Josh Clark is topping the leaderboard for bringing all of the disparate threads together into a coherent package. This spring, he has hit the conference circuit with his presentation, Seven Deadly Mobile Myths.

I don't mean aesthetically, why is it ugly, I mean, "How did something like this ever make it out of Samsung's design studio?" I'll tell you how, it was never in the design studio. This phone design was born down the hall, in a room where the door sign reads "Samsung Legal." It was designed by lawyers.
