Cool Idea from Apple. Iphone movie! Happy 30

What better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Apple's landmark Macintosh computer than by showing just how far its own technology has come? Apple's tribute spot to its revolutionary desktop was shot entirely on iPhones over the course of one day.

As they put it in the beginning of the video, "30 years ago we introduced Macintosh. It promised to put technology in the hands of the people."

http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/219048/pinterest-relaunches-mobile-site-to-broaden-appeal.html?edition=69673

Pinterest on Thursday unveiled a revamped mobile Web site aimed at expanding into international markets where users may not be able to access its mobile app.

The updated version of Pinterest.com on mobile phones has a cleaner look and feel, while offering the same features, such as more useful pins and related pins, found on the desktop site and app. The company’s iPhone app sets a high bar, with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars in the App Store, based on 853,703 ratings.

Mobile apps as the deciding factor in a business choice? Cool
