Some time in 2008 I heard about 12seconds TV, a site where people can upload short clips of videos of themselves of up to 12 seconds. It was like the Twitter version of YouTube, everything had to be short and concise. It was a neat idea.
Apparently the site shut down today. Notice was given on October 4, so it was a pretty short one. Startups come and go, business models don’t always stick. See you around, 12seconds, I never got to check you out.
Apparently the study was funded by the We Love Comic Sans It’s Cool So Leave It Alone Foundation
How Google’s Andy Rubin defines open. If that is indeed Andy Rubin’s Twitter account. For context, see this transcript of Steve Jobs’ tirade on Google and RIM from Apple’s Q4 financial conference call.

…design at Apple is at the highest level of the organization, led by Steve personally. Design at other companies is not there. It is buried down in the bureaucracy somewhere… In bureaucracies many people have the authority to say no, not the authority to say yes
John Sculley, interviewed by Leander Kahney for Cult of Mac. It’s a compelling read for those who want to delve into how Apple operates from the beginning. There’s a lot of gem to be found in that interview, from his thoughts about Steve Jobs, Apple back then, Apple now, advertising, design, mistakes he made during his time as Apple CEO, and many other things.
Must read.
