Sen Durbin Interviews Mark Zuckerberg
Hello All
This post is a bit late, though still interesting to see what we have learned in the weeks since about Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, and Privacy. Protect your data before your data is taken from you. For Sketch users who like to share designs with team members using Windows, the Lunacy editor does more than InVision may do. Interesting to see what is shaking out here with Bohemian’s Sketch app. Several design based links, along with a great post by Tony Fadell’s call to Apple to tackle smartphone addiction.
Have a great week.

2. After Cambridge Analytica, Privacy Experts Get To Say ‘I Told You So’
“The scandal swirling around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica has begun to usher in a new era for this once-ignored community of privacy researchers and developers. After years of largely disregarding their warnings about exactly what companies like Facebook were doing — that is, collecting enormous amounts of information on its users and making it available to third parties with little to no oversight — the general public suddenly seemed to care about what they were saying.”

3. Lunacy Editor 3.0: Free Sketch For Windows Is Here
“Sketch is a default standard for design, but it exists exclusively for Mac. We were often annoyed that our teammates on Windows were unable to work with our Sketch files, and that we had to employ numerous conversions and half-baked tools. We never stopped working on it–and now we are developing a full-fledged editor that supports the features of the original Sketch for Mac, resolving tons of bugs and performance optimizations.”

5. A Look At New York City Before The Cars Totally Took Over
“In 1911 the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern made a movie of a visit to New York City; the Museum of Modern Art has adjusted the speed and added a bit of a soundtrack and released it on Youtube. I do not live in New York but have spent a lot of time there, and recently have been writing about the conflicts between people who drive, bike, take transit and walk.”

9. Former iPod Chief Tony Fadell Believes Apple Should Tackle Smartphone Addiction

In an editorial with Wired UK, the former Senior Vice President of the iPod division said Apple can solve the problem at the software level by “empowering users to understand more about how they use their devices.””
