I’ve been hunting around for ways to listen to my favourite radio station from downunder, Triple J, on my new 3g iPhone. Surprisingly all I could find was this post that ends in failure.
Well, after some experimenting I have a working solution and it’s free! The only drawback is at this stage I can only get it working with Wi-Fi (and not 3G), however this means it should also work on an iPod Touch.
Here are the steps:
Smashing Magazine is an excellent web development blog that I only recently discovered. Their articles aim for quality and not quantity. This seems to be a rare approach these days given the constant overloaded of information that bombards us.
Articles on Smashing Magazine mainly focus on design aspects such as Photoshop tutorials, Wordpress templates and photography.
Here are a few articles that I thoroughly enjoyed that you too might find interesting:
The flip-style clock screensaver by Yuji Adachi (9031.com) has been around for a while now, however I reckon it’s just so cool and if you haven’t already tried it out then encourage to download it. I like it not only because retro styled flick-clocks are back in fashion, but also because it’s both beautiful and practical. Best of all it’s free!
If you were offered the following, which would you choose?
Download album $7.99
Physical album $14.99
Download and physical album $14.99
In a recent study it was found that most people would choose the 3rd option. However when the study is repeated with just options 1 and 3, then most people would instead go for option 1.
This is because option 2 is a psychological decoy. It gives the impression that option 3 represents the best value for money, even though it is more expensive than option 1. Pretty smart hey?
It’s Marketing 101, however it’s a strategy that the music industry hasn’t seemed to have caught onto just yet. Follow the link to read the original article.
