365psd, a lovely website that publishes one free PSD each day has a brand new offering.
They have released a new freebie which is an awesome set of tiny icons.
As expected, they are in PSD format, 30*30px by default and comes in avery well organized PSD file where each item is placed inside a layer group.
The set is so suitable to be used in web apps considering it has most of the commonly-used web app icons.
DepthJS allows any web page to interact with the Microsoft Kinect using Javascript. Navigating the web is only one application of the framework they built – that is, they envision all sorts of applications that run in the browser, from games to specific utilities for specific sites.
The great part is that now web developers who specialize in Javascript can work with the Kinect without having to learn any special languages or code. DepthJS is open source under the AGPL license.

Reveal is awesome because it’s easy to implement, is cross-browser compatible with modern browsers (with some graceful degradation of course) and lightweight coming in at only 1.75KB. What that means for you is that it’s fast, sexy and just works.

Worrying news for iPhone 4 owners has surfaced. bypassing your lock screen is simply a case of hitting “emergency call,” dialling “###,” presssing the call button, then immediately pressing the lock button. Voilá — one cracked iPhone.
This bug, which will surely cause a cascade of clenching and face palming across the world — or at least the portions of the world that can afford iPhones — seems to only affect the iPhone 4, or the 3GS with iOS 4.1 installed. Apple hasn’t commented yet.
It looks like the bug does not allow the running of applications, but it does allow full access to your address book, call history, and photo album.
Apple update soon..?
Here is a video in Portugese showing how this can be done..
Thanks to downloadsquad.com for the news.

Initial setup for XAMPP Virtualhost gives this error:
“Access forbidden!
You don’t have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. …”
To solve this:
- in \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf, modify:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
to:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
and everything should work ok!
After the popularity of iPhone applications where (web) developers are creating so many new ones each day, it won’t be wrong to expect the same for iPad.
In order to design for the iPad easier, RawApps, a blog focused on mobile application development, is sharing a detailed and free iPad GUI Kit.
The kit is in PSD format, its canvas size is parallel to the iPad’s 768×1024px and includes layers like the keyboard, sliders, icons, the canvas, etc.

simpleCart(js), a very simple but smart shopping cart that was shared on WRD, now has a new version with more features.
The application is an upload & use shopping cart where no database is required and can be integrated into any website so easily.
It works by including a JavaScript file into the webpages and usage of special classes. As an example:
<div class="simpleCart_items"></div>
will display the full cart, no other code needed.
With the V2, it supports both PayPal + Google Checkout as the payment providers & multiple currencies/tax rates can be used.
Matt Legend Gemmell held a 6-hour workshop at NSConference in both the UK and USA recently, focusing on software design and user experience.
Predictably, an extremely popular topic was the iPad, and how to approach the design of iPad applications. He gave a 90-minute presentation on the subject to start each workshop, and he is very kind to share some of his observations of iPad Application Design.
This article is about the user interface conventions and considerations which apply to creating software for the iPad platform and touch-screen tablet devices in general. It is not a technical discussion of iPad-related APIs. This is an excellent article for designers and application developers. I am sure you will find it useful too.

Tutorialzine is sharing a beautiful tutorial (with source) on creating an Ajaxed drag’n drop shopping cart with jQuery & PHP.
It uses MySQL for storing the data & simpleTip plugin for displaying information about the products with style.
It takes advantage of the jQuery UI’s draggable & droppable behaviours to accomplish the flawless experience.
The shopping cart is not a ready-to-go one for an e-commerce website but it is a nice base for creating one by improving the features.
