All I can say is “WOW!!”. As a way for Apple to show to the developers that was at the WWDC (Developer’s Conference) how popular the top 20,000 apps in the App Store is, they setup a hyperwall. This hyperwall consists of twenty 30-inch Apple Cinema Display monitors. Every time an app is downloaded it pulses on the display. And to top it all, the icons were sorted by their color making a rainbow spectrum. Read the full article here.

Apple gives Microsoft a kick up the arse with an even lower price for Snow Leopard over here.

And last but not least, TomTom and Navigon will be bringing us turn-by-turn GPS navigation to the iPhones using iPhone OS 3.0!!! It’s about time! Woop woop!!!

I accidentally stumbled upon this thing over at Autodesk Labs. It’s called Project Dragonfly. The description on their site says it best:

Streamline your next home improvement project by using Dragonfly's intuitive design tools to rapidly create and furnish your floor plan, experimenting in real time with your ideas in 2D and 3D before making it real!

I gave it a quick try and I must admit it’s not that bad. You can choose your measurements between imperial and metric. Creating rooms are super easy. If you accidentally drag the corner of a room thinking it will keep the walls 90 degrees, the walls will snap back to 90 degrees as you bring the corner closer to where it was. The selection of stuff to add into the room (doors, windows, furniture) might not be uber but it’s not crappy either. This is a great tool for you to try out a new living room couch arrangement without having to strain a back muscle, or to give the master bedroom a new coat of paint without picking up a paintbrush.

Give it a try, you might just find it handy.
