Not this time. Why? What could be the explanation to this? Well, first, let's face it, even after eight developer betas, iOS... Continue Reading →
I took the train yesterday to go see one of our clients. It is a two hours and a half trip. Early in the morning, some of the scenes outside can be inspiring. Here is a photo showing surrounding fields with the fog still on the ground. I wish I could have stopped by for... Continue Reading →
Thought of the day: Imagine if we could replicate in real-world what it looks like to be tracked online.
