Exclusive Interview Questions: Ballast Lane Applications, LLC for Master Pieces: The Curator’s Game
We love Master Pieces: The Curator’s Game iOS app here at theappwhisperer.com. The games within the app are based on over 350 details from 54 masterpieces. They challenge you to identify the artist of a detail with help from clues and the ability to view the full work. There are three ways to play. The first two do not require any background in art history while the third is for those who know (or, think they know!) all about the classics. We are currently reviewing this app but in the meantime we wanted to interview the developer, Larry Ehrhardt to find out how this app came to be materialised and…

The iPhone Tab Bar – Lessons From Reality
Over the last couple of years, the iPhone has greatly popularized the tab bar navigational model for mobile handsets. Apple has put together a design rationale for the tab bar in their Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) along with lots and lots of other information — they do however leave some question unanswered. Having worked with interaction and graphical design for iPhone applications during the last couple of years I’ve managed to pick up some lessons the hard way, and in this post I would like to share my thoughts on a couple of do’s and don’ts. So says Petter Silfver within his blog on Significant Pixels where he compares different…

Wozniak was attending the SQLbits conference to present awards to winners as his position as Chief Scientist for storage company Fusion-io affords.

Apple Chastises Best Buy
It appears that Best Buy will not be the best place for you to buy your Apple products in the future, if the latest rumors are to be believed. MacRumors are reporting that Apple are not pleased, in any shape or form at the way Best Buy have been selling their products. It seems that Best Buy were limiting the quantity of iPad 2’s for sale as they had reached their sales quota for the day and actually were telling customers they were out of stock. This type of sales practice is definitely a big no no if you carry Apple stock and it seems that Best Buy has had…
