Change the Lights

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about the soon to be released digital Rubik's Cube.

We’ve seen the Rubik’s Cube, the Rubik’s Cube iphone application, and now, an update to the cube itself.

Now there’s a cube for the digital age, a touchscreen style puzzle will be released this year. The cube is touch sensitive, but only on the top side so there’s no confusion during play. It also comes with a hint and an undo option (how convenient). I like the rotation of the original cube, but the touchscreen may be the only way I can ever come close to solving the thing.

At $149 it’s quite a bit more pricey than it’s classic brother, but hey, with that hint option it may be the price you pay for eventual success.

A New Set of Directions

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read about the awesome application on the iPhone that helps you solve the ultimate challenge; the Rubik's cube.

iPhone applications are everywhere now (as is the iPhone) but some just catch your interest more than others. The Rubik cube solver is one such application.

I’ve wanted to solve a Rubik cube forever, that desire was heightened after I saw The Pursuit of Happyness. Well, no only is that all now possible, and personalized, setting up the program is half the fun.

Basically you can pull up the app and color the faces yourself or you can take pictures of each side of the cube on your phone and the application can analyze your situation that way. Either way, the program then will give you step by step directions to solve this six sided conundrum in 3D. Rubik cubes have never been so cool.

Technological Alliance

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about Seadragon, the first offspring of the joining of Microsoft and Apple.

Microsoft has finally caved to the dark side (or seen the light, depending on how you look at it).

Seadragon mobile is the first (of hopefully many) Microsoft iphone applications. (When did you ever think you’d hear that combination. It’s a super zoom abled image browser in case you’re wondering what Seadragon does. To me it doesn’t really matter that apps purpose, just the fact that it exists.

Imagine the possibilities of Apple and Microsoft together? What other unimaginable alliances can you see aiding the world?
