'It just works'
It may have escaped your attention, but Apple did something significant yesterday. It admitted that MobileMe wasn't very good. Actually, Steve Jobs went further than that. He described it as 'not our finest hour.' But did that put Apple off? Did it 'eckers like. Which is the reason for the other significant thing they did yesterday: launching iCloud.

Everything seems to be dying these days: print, TV, banners, destination web, creativity… And Kurt Cobain is already dead.

Are you a Valery or a Fry?
It was the French symbolist poet Paul Valery who remarked that he could never consider writing a novel because he could not conceive of writing something as arbitrary as 'the marchioness went out at five o'clock'. I don't know about you, but that's how I feel about Facebook and Twitter. I find changing my status on Facebook, or tweeting at all, among the most arbitrary things on earth.

Wallpaper made on the iPhone
Textile designer Ella Doran has just released a range of wallpapers with a difference. It features an image taken on an iPhone. As she explains 'Normally with photographic prints, it's all about the sharpness of the image. With this one it's about the blurriness created by the iPhone.' It's a brave move in an industry obsessed with high-definition resolution. You can judge the outcome yourself at Clerkenwell Design Week for the next couple of days.

How to achieve great things
Obviously, one doesn't achieve great things in a haphazard way. It takes organisation. More precisely, it takes a list. This is the list that Benjamin Franklin gave himself every day. Perhaps we should give it a try ourselves.

Important (relatively)
Our friends at We Are Social have carried out a super-speedy analysis of how Twitter reacted to the news of Osama bin Laden's death. Not surprisingly, it all got very busy, as this graphic shows, with more than 5,000 tweets a second. That's a lot of tweets, but not as many as on New Year's Eve in Japan last year. I wonder what that makes you think about social media...
