iPhone Pull to Refresh - Leah Culver's Blog

Ever since Tweetie 2, the pull-to-refresh paradigm has been a hot feature for iPhone applications. The idea is that you can pull down on a list of items to refresh them. This saves you from needing some sort of "refresh" or "reload" button. Nice!

For the upcoming V2 of the Plancast iPhone app we really wanted to replace the current "reload" toolbar item with the pull-to-refresh style. However, the existing open source pull to refresh examples such as Three20's Pull to Reload and EGOTableViewPullRefresh are a little too complicated for my taste. Heck - this should only require one file!

Eco-Chic Vegan Shoes From Recycled TVs | greenUPGRADER

Thanks to our obsession with television and the recent switch from analog to digital broadcasting, there are plenty of old T.V. sets hanging out in closets and garages, waiting to be recycled. Sending them off to an electronics recycler could put some cash in your pocket, but it's not very creative. That's why vegan footwear designer Olsenhaus is making a switch of its own—by cladding its entire Fall/Winter 2010 collection of pumps, wedges, stiletto booties, and knee-highs in an innovative polyester microfiber made from trashed television screens

Toyota and Tesla Really ARE Going to Make Beautiful EV Babies | PriusChat

 
 

Just when Toyota looked like it was beginning to be beaten at its own alt-fuel game by the likes of Nissan and GM, they make a daring move by partnering with Tesla Motors to develop future Electric Vehicles. With an investment of $50 million and the sale of the NUMMI production facility to Tesla, Toyota is in exchange getting a partner with a start-up spirit and a much-needed fast track to electric vehicles. In a statement from TMC President Akio Toyoda he said,“Through this partnership, by working together with a venture business such as Tesla, Toyota would like to learn from the challenging spirit, quick decision-making, and flexibility that Tesla has. Decades ago, Toyota was also born as a venture business.  By partnering with Tesla, my hope is that all Toyota employees will recall that ‘venture business spirit,’ and take on the challenges of the future.”
