Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile
Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile
Facebook today announced a major revamp coming to its signature News Feed every user sees when they launch the Facebook app or login to Facebook on the desktop. The updated News Feed is heavily inspired by Facebook’s mobile app, which was first developed for iOS.
While there are several changes to the News Feed coming, the most obvious will appear in the desktop browser. Now Facebook’s website will feature the same left-side navigation browser that users reveal on its iOS apps by swiping to the right. In addition, significant changes are coming to the way the News Feed is displayed on the iPhone and iPad. From Facebook’s press release today:
Today we’re announcing a new version of Facebook designed to reduce clutter and focus more on stories from the people you care about. You see all the stories you saw in your News Feed before, but with a fresh new look. We’ve completely rebuilt each story to be much more vibrant and colorful and highlight the content that your friends are sharing. Photos, news articles, maps and events all look brighter and more beautiful.
To make sure you’re seeing all the stories you want to see, we’re introducing several new feeds to explore in addition to the same News Feed you have today:
- All Friends – a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing
- Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like
- Music – a feed with posts about the music you listen to
- Following – a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.
The new News Feed rollout won’t rollout won’t go live for everyone for a few weeks. Those wishing to get started early can visit www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed and add themselves to the waiting list.

Robocat's Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo
Robocat, maker of the three iOS weather apps Haze, Outside, and Thermo, had launched a Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo, a physical thermometer that integrates with the iPhone.
While a thermometer for iOS sounds pretty clever, I believe it has some hurdles to jump in addition to getting funded. Thermodo is a tiny dongle that hangs on your keychain and plugs into the iPhone’s headphone jack.
The Kickstarter page states:
"Simply plug Thermodo into your device and start the companion app or any other Thermodo enabled apps of your choice. The temperature reading takes place instantly. Thermodo is powered by your device. No external power is required, it can even run in the background while you do important stuff."
With Robocat's own weather apps and the many other competing apps, why make Thermodo?
The Kickstarter page states:
“The reason we made this hardware actually came from the users,” Robocat told Cult of Mac. “We often got 1-star reviews from users that complain that the temperature data is incorrect or that Thermo doesn’t work indoors. So we are trying to solve this issue with a hardware module. With Thermodo they will get accurate temperature readings from where they are. It’s also just really exciting to work with hardware that can communicate with the mobile devices in a creative way.”
The software is where the magic will really happen for Thermodo. You’ll be able to quickly measure the temperature indoors and outdoors. The dongle will let you track the temperature and see how it rises and falls throughout the day. No network connection is required.
Thermodo will work with Haze and Thermo, and Robotcat will have a SDK available for developers to add support for their weather apps. The idea is that you will have a miniature weather station with you at all times.
My concern is that you will have conflicting temperatures to deal with. Let's say it is 15 degrees outside here in Detroit, but I am in my car with the temperature set at 75 degrees. What is the temperature that I want my phone to report? The external or internal temperature? I contend that you will vary on this, but the man thing is both. My biggest issue is just why? Why do I want to know the exact temperature of my immediate environment? Why would the majority of people want to know this? I am quite sure there are many specialized professions and individuals that will require this, but are there enough to justify this product? Time will tell.

Artfinder is a Magazine Featuring Art You Can Buy
Artfinder is a Magazine Featuring Art You Can Buy
Artfinder is a magazine jam-packed with feature stories, exclusive interviews and beautiful collections; a wish list where you can save your favorite works of art and make purchases with just a few taps; and the art of the day, which will hopefully inspire you and teach you a little something about the creativity in the world around you.
Click “more” to see for yourself.
Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
Getting Around
Artfinder will prompt you to connect to the app using an email address and/or your Facebook account. If you think there’s a chance you’ll want to receive alerts as to when new Art of the Day or special offers have been added, then signing up for an account with your email address is a must.
Artfinder is a magazine all about art — but you can buy the pieces you like! Check out features like Art of the Day, Abstract Art, Photography, Features and others.
Artfinder displays all its content in well-labeled squares that are easy to scroll through. Categories include Abstract Art, Editor’s Picks, Artists to Watch, 60-Second Interviews, Photography, Guides, Gallery of the Week, Style and Trends, Learn, specific artist features, and so many others.
Swipe to the right at any time in order to reveal the menu, where you can access the Magazine, your Profile and Feedback (where you can contact Artfinder directly).
While you’re browsing, click on any individual square of content for more information. Or, to view the menu, swipe anywhere on the screen to the right. A gray menu will be revealed, featuring the following tabs:
Home: What’s new on Artfinder
Magazine: Stories, interviews and collections
Profile: Browse your wish list and manage your settings
Feedback: Let Artfinder know your thoughts
Tap on any work of art for background on the artist and details about the individual piece.

Chrome for iOS Updated BUT it is broke
The Chrome team happily announced Chrome 25 for iPhone and iPad. Chrome 25.0.1364.86 contains a number of improvements including:
- Long press on the back button to quickly access any page in your tab history
- Share a web page via Messages
Along with these new features, over the coming days they hope to make searching on Google even easier:
- See your search term right in the omnibox, instead of the search query URL
- Easily refine your search queries and view more results on the search results page
The update will be rolled out in the App Store over the last three days, but none of us iOS user have been able to use the app since. The Chrome app crashes within seconds of launching.
This happens on all iOS device types. Hopefully Google will resolve this and hopefully Apple will quickly approve the fixed product and get it in the AppStore quickly.

Sega announces Sonic Dash, an endless runner starring the blue hedgehog
Sega announces Sonic Dash, an endless runner starring the blue hedgehog
Having tried some traditional Sonic the Hedgehog gameplay with Sonic Episode 4 (which didn’t seem to do that well for them), Sega has now moved to the strategy of using Sonic in much simpler, arcade-style iOS games. Sonic Jump came out a little while ago, featuring an endless jumping/Doodle Jump-esque premise, and now Sega has announced Sonic Dash, an endless running game featuring all of the series’ mainstays.
It’s a 3D game, however, so it’ll likely have a lot of similarities to Temple Run, which is certainly a franchise that a lot of game developers have been emulating lately. Sonic Rush is due out “soon” on the App Store, which probably means later on this week. We’ll keep an eye out for it then.

ButtonHide Example in iPhone
In this application we will see how to hide button from the iPhone application. So let see how it will worked.
Step 1: Open the Xcode, Create a new project using Single View Application. Give the application
“ButtonHide”.
Step 2: Need to add new viewController class in the project. Select project -> New file ->
UIViewController subclass -> next -> Give the application name “ButtonHideView”.
Step 3: Now open the AppDelegate.h file and make the following changes:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@class ButtonHideView;
@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>
{
ButtonHideView *buttonHideView;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain)IBOutlet ButtonHideView *buttonHideView;
@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
@end
Step 4: In the AppDelegate.m file make the following changes:
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "ButtonHideView.h"
#import "ButtonHideView.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
@synthesize window = _window,buttonHideView;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary
*)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
buttonHideView = [[ButtonHideView alloc]
initWithNibName:@"ButtonHideView"
bundle:nil];
[_window addSubview:buttonHideView.view];
return YES;
}
@end
Step 5: Now open the “ButtonHideView.h” file and make the following changes:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface ButtonHideView : UIViewController
{
IBOutlet UIButton *button1;
IBOutlet UITextField *textfield1;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIButton *button1;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *textfield1;
-(IBAction) ButtonHide:(id)sender;
//}
@end
Step 6: Double click the ButtonHideView.xib file and open it to the Interface Builder. First drag the
UIButton and UITextField from the library and place it to the view window. Select the button from
the view window and bring up connection inspector and connect touch up inside to the File’s Owner
icon and select “ButtonHide:” method and connect the File’s owner icon to the textfield and select
“textfield1”. Now save the .xib file, close it and go back to the Xcode.
Step 7: In the ButtonHideView.m file make the following changes:
#import "ButtonHideView.h"
@implementation ButtonHideView
@synthesize button1,textfield1;
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
-(IBAction) ButtonHide:(id)sender
{
if([textfield1.text isEqualToString: @""]){
button1.hidden = YES;
} else {
button1.hidden = NO;
}
NSLog( @"%@", textfield1.text );
}
@end
Step 8: Now Compile and run the application on the Simulator

DevJuice: Spellchecking short strings
DevJuice: Spellchecking short strings
A few years ago, xkcd created a crowd-sourced color survey to collected real-world hue descriptions. You’ll find the hilarious results here.
I’ve been working on updating my UIColor utilities as part of building a color sampling app. Stumbling across this survey, I decided to add the xkcd colors to my repository, along with code that matched colors to their nearest xkcd equivalents.
What I found is that as delightful as the sourced color descriptions are, that they were rather full of misspellings, for example “urple”.
So I put together a simple NSString category to find misspellings and “creatively” described colors. I found this approach to be useful enough that I decided to share it on a DevJuice.
Normally, you use text checkers to find misspellings in text view and fields, and to present those items to the user. But you’re certainly not limited to that scenario. This simple string category lets you test whether a misspelled word was found, enabling me to automate my inspection.
I loaded up the xkcd names as an array and searched them to find any potential errors. Out of nearly a thousand color names, it quickly flagged about two dozen issues — saving a huge amount of detail checking.
This doesn’t of course, guarantee the correctness of my results. I know I left in a few amusing misspellings: “Blurple,” for example, plus if any misspellings ended up as a legal English word, they will not have been flagged.
What’s more I had to bowdlerize some entries. Apple does not have any “offensive language” tester that I could find. (Know of one? Please ping me about it!) So I had to update those items by hand.
In any case, I hope you’ll find this useful. Happy coding!

Objective C Tutorials 57 Creating and Using a Car Class Complete Example
Description: Objective-C video tutorials — In these programming video series I’ll go through the basics of objective-c object oriented programming language. Objective-c is the programming language of Apple Mac OSX Operating system and the language of iOS. So if you want to develop applications for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch then you have to master objective-c programming language. It’s one of the best programming language and it’s easy to learn. It is derived from the C language but it’s Object-oriented which makes it better. These video tutorials are for beginners and gradually we’ll discuss the advanced part of objective-c as time goes on. If you have any questions drop a comment. And don’t forget to rate and like all the videos to allow others to benefit from these objective-c video tutorials.

Lunatik unleashes four tough iPhone 5 cases
Lunatik unleashes four tough iPhone 5 cases
Lunatik burst onto the Apple accessory market in 2010 in one of the early successful uses of Kickstarter, coming out with a pair of iPod nano watch cases called the TikTok and LunaTik. Now the company is introducing a line of iPhone 5 cases that feature rugged designs to protect your investment.
Lunatik designs are the brainchildren of Chicago-based designer Scott Wilson and his design firm Minimal. The company has more than just a handful of Kickstarter projects behind it; Minimal has been involved with design work for Microsoft, Nike and other big-name corporations.
Lunatik provided TUAW with four of their latest iPhone 5 case designs. We’ll take a close look at all four, then give you a chance to win one of the cases to keep your iPhone 5 safe and stylish.
Flak
Flak (US$34.95) looks like a fairly minimalist iPhone 5 case, but uses a deceptively simple dual-layer interlock construction method to protect your phone from impact with a tough outer impact shell and a shock absorbing inner core.
That external impact shell is made of a glossy polycarbonate that comes in either white, black, red or pink, while the inner core uses soft TPU to cradle your iPhone 5 without scratching it. The Flak flexes just enough to make inserting the iPhone a piece of cake. The Flak has pass-through buttons for volume control and sleep/wake/on/off, while the mute button is left open for easy access.
If I have one complaint about the design of the Flak, it’s that the polycarbonate really attracts dust, fingerprints and smears easily. After a bit of handling to try it out, I had to wipe the Flak down before taking photos and still ended up with a lot of dust speckles…
Seismik
I started my professional career a few centuries ago as a civil engineer, so I understand the power of the truss to stiffen structures. In the Siesmik ($34.95), Lunatik is using a truss design to stiffen a flexible TPU material. The result is a case that can use the cells in the flexible truss to cushion drops, but it’s stiff enough to not feel like the typical “gummy” TPU case.
The Seismik comes in five different color schemes: all black, gray and cyan, gray and yellow, gray and clear, and gray and magenta. If you’re looking for a case with a good grippy surface, the Seismik is it. This would be perfect for carrying a phone around in your hand on a hot, sweaty day; it’s not going to slide out of your hand unless you deliberately drop it.
Taktik Strike
Now we’re getting into the amazing cases. The Taktik Strike ($79.95) has been designed to provide protection against shocks and drops, and it is built like a tank — literally. The Taktik Strike takes the truss design of the Siesmik and wraps it in thick polymer bezels held together with steel and aluminum hardware.
It’s not designed to protect your iPhone 5 from the weather — we’ll get to that case in a minute – but it will definitely keep it from being damaged from most falls except for one that takes it face-forward onto a metallic object. All of the buttons on the device are covered, and ports are given the plug-and-cover treatment.
Anyone who is a fan of minimalist iPhone cases won’t be thrilled with the Taktik Strike, as it is definitely chunky and built for rugged protection of your phone investment. The bezels come in black, gray, green, white and pink to match your personal preference.
Taktik Extreme
If you’ve made it this far, you’ll notice a theme — these cases are getting more and more protective as we go along. The Taktik Extreme ($124.95) is the ultimate in iPhone 5 protection. There’s seriously no case like it around, as it takes the Taktik Strike’s design even further with a cover over the iPhone’s lower bezel and Home button and Corning Gorilla Glass over the entire screen.
The plugs on the Taktik Extreme are water and dust resistant, providing weather protection. It’s not advertised as being waterproof, but it should be able to handle being rained on or getting the occasional splash.
That Gorilla Glass provides shatter protection for the screen in those rare cases where you drop the iPhone right onto a hard edge. All of this protection does come at a price, and I’m not talking about the $125 price tag. The Taktik Extreme weighs in at 4.1 ounces, significantly more than the lightweight (1.3 ounce) Seismik.
Conclusion
Lunatik has brought a nice combination of savvy design and rugged engineering to the crowded iPhone case market, and the products will go far in attracting fans. The two Taktik cases, Strike and Extreme, could be fierce competitors to the likes of OtterBox and LifeProof
Giveaway
It’s your chance to win one of these four awesome cases from Lunatik. Here are the rules for the giveaway:

Open Source Control For Creating Custom Image Based Indicators For Ratings, Gauges, Progress And More
Open Source Control For Creating Custom Image Based Indicators For Ratings, Gauges, Progress And More
Previously I mentioned a great control for creating customized bar indicators and the popular MBProgressHud for creating custom progress indicators.
Here’s a control called DPMeterView from Pierre Dulac that you can use to create custom gauges with any image. The control provides methods so that the gauge can easily be used as progress indicators or rating indicators. The gauges are animated, and there’s even a way to set up gravity for the gauges so the indicated fill adjusts for the tilt of the phone.
There are a number of examples providing included a star rating indicator. You can follow the included examples and create your own custom indicators using core graphics.
Here’s an image from the readme showing the included example indicators with gravity on a tilted device:
You can find DPMeterView on Github here.
A great control for creating custom gauges.
