Check the logs. It is downloading another 3GB of stuff.

Is it going to download stuff for every different image? If not then it's dumb to not download it in the beginning.

Framer is “just” HTML/CSS/JavaScript. This means you can also do things like embed (moving) GIFs, videos and use (almost) all browser APIs in Code Components.

That'd heavily limit the perfomance optimizations that can be done, which is pretty crucial for a product like this.

It still works, Beamer uses a different part of the AirPlay protocol ‘suite’. We’ve tested with the betas to ensure it would. (I’m one of the developers.)

So, in the EU and US the average amount spent is above the average amount earned. I'd be more interested in more data on that than what OS was on their phones.

That's the first thing that struck me too. What magic is present in Toshl's ecosystem that allows people to spend more than they earn?

Stay away from this financial assistance software written by people who can't do math.

Credit cards? Large purchases like homes and cars?

I don't think the same people are simply accruing more and more debt. So maybe this shows that more people are entering debt every year?

The partially unusable screen acts nicely as an easy to hit back button offering context about where you'll go back to. The spatial organization and animation showing the menu adds even more context, making this way of implementing a 'global' menu a pretty clever design all in all.

My only gripe with it that it might make it too easy to bring the complexity of big menus of the desktop to mobile device. As programmers we're (hopefully) all aware about the power and dangers of using globals.

That's not an option button on iOS. It leads to a menu of 'secondary' menu items, that are hierarchically on the same level as the other tabs.

For iOS/Mac development, Ole Begemann's http://oleb.net/ is invaluable, especially for the monthly link roundups.

Awesome, I wasn't aware of that one.

Other good ones I know of are the already mentioned Cocoa with Love

I completely agree with you, but the user might have been trained by his iPhone to relate the speed of the spinner to the data transfer speed. (The spinner in the status bar of the iPhone indicating network activity has a different speed when you're on EDGE or GPRS versus when you're on 3G).

You raise an interesting point. That throbber does have (exactly) two speeds — but if you are experiencing EDGE-speed transfer rates over 3G for some reason (low connectivity), it still spins at the normal (3G) speed. So it’s not quite the same as what’s being suggested here, as I understand it (a variable speed throbber tied to current transfer rates). Certainly an intriguing design decision though.

I have to imagine the slow speed of the EDGE throbber is saying, “Expect this to take awhile. Look, I take 6 seconds to even spin around once…”

Thus if we were to take the concept to the Web, it might make more sense to tie rate of revolution not to speed, but rather to expected time to complete (based on speed and file size) such that we expect the spinner to make exactly (say) 15 revolutions before the upload completes (with a min and max cap on revolution speed, of course).

I still maintain that if we know this much information, though, we ought to just show a progress bar and optionally text as well.

Utrecht, a whole city to buy your art supplies.
