The Microsoft Metro user-interface is a perfect complement to Nokia’s design philosophy. Unlike Android, it doesn’t kowtow to Apple’s styling paradigm.

World's Greatest Shave 2012
A couple of the Alltraders gentlemen and myself will be participating in the World’s Greatest Shave this year. I will be shaving these beautiful locks down to a number one and as a bonus I will attempt to grow out the facial fuzz until then (March 15-17) and take it off it at the same time. Please consider taking part and/or supporting in aid of the Leukaemia Foundation.

Calls-to-action
The hard fact is that they just don’t care.
Or more precisely, they don’t care yet. They’re interested, but they do not know enough to care. We have not given them enough of a reason to care. They are not ready to take that step.
A good read on “why you should bury your sign up button”. I’ve considered similar things as of recent. When someone tells me to “make it pop...
