Nina is a beautiful condensed font from Microsoft, made by Matthew Carter. I discovered it by accident today and it seems that it’s coming with VisualStudio 2005 installation – Pro version, not with free Express editions. Since this font is used on Windows Mobile, it’s probably installed with VS2005 to be used inside its PocketPC emulators.

While the font itself warrants this entry, what really made my day is lucid sample posted on MS Typography site. Instead of generic Lorem Ipsum text, Microsoft people wrote short funny history of how Nina came to be. And then set each paragraph with different font size. Brilliant.

Review: WaterField Ultimate SleeveCase for iPad

I bought this sleeve bag to carry the iPad around from WaterField. Executive summary: I like it a lot. So much that I bought more of their stuff after using this one for a year.

Carefree musings on Apple TV

Thu, Nov 3rd, 2011 · No Comments

While listening my favorite podcasts these days, quite a bit of them are discussing this quote from the Steve Jobs biography:

“I’d like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use. It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it.”

Mouth-watering, isn’t it? Given the fact what was done for phone and tablets, this is beyond interesting. John Gruber, Marco Arment and John Siracusa all shared how they see this working. As usual, I agree with bits from all of the stuff they spoke, but not all of it (and them do not agree on all counts). There’s also an oft-linked NY Times article on Siri as the main interface for this new TV.

Here’s what I believe will be main features of the future Apple TV business.
