Say hello to Amazon Stream, a Pinterest-like endless shopping experience

Image
It appears that Amazon has been working on a new shopping experience based on pinboards. Stream tempts you with an endless list of products for men, women and the home, in an easy-to-browse format. The products shown are all sponsored, said to be updated daily and only list their prices. You do have an option to save items to your wishlist, but they stay separate from your standard Amazon wishlist. That’s really all there is to it at this point. Amazon doesn’t seem to have shared additional info via a press release, as it usually does. The company also doesn’t yet mention… This story continues at The Next Web from The Next Web » Insider http://ift.tt/1csH3A6 via IFTTT

The psychology of simple

Image
This post originally appeared on the Crew blog. For a concept that we all understand, ‘simple’ is deceivingly difficult to pin down. We may ‘know it when we see it’, but there’s more to what makes a product or website feel simple than just gut reaction. In the words of Steve Jobs: “Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” If there’s so much power in creating things that are simple why do… This story continues at The Next Web from The Next Web » Insider http://ift.tt/1RBXI3S via IFTTT

Apple says Watch OS 1.0.1 records heart rate irregularly on purpose. Thanks, Apple

Image
In the latest update of Apple Watch OS 1.0.1, users are reporting that their heart rates are being recorded less frequently, thus providing a less accurate picture of heart activity. Previously thought to be a bug, Apple has now confirmed that this behavior is actually intentional. Huh? In Watch OS 1.0, the user’s heart rate is recorded every 10 minutes. Now, Apple has clarified to say that in the latest version, the Watch will still do the same, but won’t record anything if the arm is not in motion or is the arm is moving. Which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,… This story continues at The Next Web from The Next Web » Insider http://ift.tt/1SJG7sc via IFTTT

Le CBC retrouve Berck en finale

Image
Vainqueur de Vitré ce samedi 30 mai (95-83), Berck défiera le CBC ce dimanche en finale du Final Four de Nationale 2 à Vannes. Il y a un, Berck comme le Caen Basket Calvados était resté bloqué au premier tour des playoffs. Leurs espoirs de monter en Nationale 1 s'étaient alors envolés. 12 mois plus tard, les deux équipes ont grandi et ont obtenu leur billet pour l'étage supérieur il y a 15 jours. Qualifiés pour le Final Four de Nationale 2 qui se déroule cette année, à Vannes, les Berckois poursuivent l'aventure grâce à une probante victoire sur l'Aurore Vitré (95-83).

Image
Jason Zook is the founder of IWearYourShirt and author of Creativity For Sale. This post originally appeared on his blog. I’ve never heard of a highly creative or successful person being too busy. Let me rephrase that: I’ve never heard of a highly creative or successful person that I respect being too busy. The most creative people of our time are doing more things in a day than most people do in a week (or even month). But you know what you rarely hear a highly creative or successful person say? “I’m too busy.” Think about the people who you hear say “I’m… This story continues at The Next Web from The Next Web » Insider http://ift.tt/1KECRfu via IFTTT

Google’s Gmail API officially gets push notification support

Image
At last year’s Google I/O developer conference, the company launched its official Gmail API. One year later, it’s adding a small but important feature to this API: Push notification support. The inclusion of push notification support means third party developers no longer have to poll Gmail for new messages, which helps eliminate time and extra network costs. As Google puts it, “Just subscribe to a Gmail mailbox and whenever a change occurs, the Gmail API will instantly notify your server.” Although you can still use IMAP, the official Gmail API will support all the features that come with Gmail, such… This story continues at The Next Web from The Next Web » Insider http://ift.tt/1FTFEhT via IFTTT
