My thanks to Lanbito for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed. Lanbito is an online form builder optimized for creating forms that look great on the iPhone and iPad. They’ve built two terrific user experiences. On the one side, their drag-and-drop form builder lets you create and design your forms easily.

They’ve got a bunch of great themes to choose from, shortened URLs perfect for tweeting, and the data from the forms is saved to Google Spreadsheets.

AnandTech Reviews Apples New Thunderbolt Display

post from Daring Fireball on 23 September 2011 07:04:19 PM. © Daring Fireball

Anand Lal Shimpi:

The real improvements here are obviously those enabled byThunderbolt. Apple is turning its line of displays into docks forits mobile computers rather than just external displays. Itstarted with integrating MagSafe and has culminated in GigE andFireWire controllers now a part of the display. For MacBook Airowners who don’t have options for these high speed interfaces tobegin with, the Thunderbolt Display is a must-have. If your MBA isa secondary or tertiary computer that only gets taken on tripsperhaps the Thunderbolt Display isn’t so life changing. For thoseusers who have moved from older MacBook Pros to the 13-inch MBAhowever, the Thunderbolt Display is a wonderful companion.

Heres the Thing About Apples Recent Success

Grant Huhn:

Apple is doing, and has been doing, things much different thanany company?in any industry?for at least the past ten years.Apple?s products and operation are vastly superior. Manypeople have recognized this all along. Some people will neverrecognize it.
It?s just now the numbers confirm it.

I think it started as soon as Jobs took the helm in 1997. Everything that’s happened since is epitomized by that bondi blue original iMac.

Business Insider, Over-Aggregation, and the Mad
Grab for Traffic

Ryan McCarthy on Business Insider’s Huffington Post-style practice of regurgitating the original work of others:

And, of course, Business Insider isn?t alone in the practice ofrepurposing content for no other reason then keeping pageviews.But surely, in each case, Business Insider is actually keeping usone click away from interesting, original coverage, not bringingus closer to it or informing us about it.

Sites like The Huffington Post and Business Insider are the inevitable result of an advertising model that counts page views. CPM is a corrupting revenue model; sites like HuffPo and BI are what you get when you’ve mastered that model.
