A year ago, I compared the then-brand-new iTunes 9 against its predecessor. New year, new version of iTunes, so here’s an updated comparison. It’s amazing to see just how much visual tweaking Apple does with each new major version of the application.
The vertical arrangement of the window controls in iTunes 10 is… not so great in my opinion.
This seems like a great starting point for webdesign projects. Takes away a lot of overhead.
Beautiful pixelly artwork by Neven Mrgan. Installing it on my phone as I type this. I’ve had the ‘Surf’ wallpaper on my Cinema Display for months now. Be sure to check out the action packed trailers.

It’s a great improvement over the previous version. I’ve been using the beta since the day it came out. My favorite bits in no particular oder:
Beautiful handprinted lucha libre posters from Mexico.

An absolutely brilliant way to present the content of a newspaper online. Phil Gyford set out to create an online reading experience that reduces friction, increases readability and gives the reader a sense of finishability. Be sure to read his blog post explaining the thinking behind this experiment.
Also: How great is it that the Guardian offers an API that grants free access to their content? This is what makes innovations like Today’s Guardian possible.
Really great title on this review of the Magic Trackpad. I ordered my trackpad yesterday and am confident that it will be magic, not tragic.
