    This article provides a great overview of the new technologies profiled at SXSW and makes the case that it's now cheaper than ever before to bring prototypes to market. The author notes, "The dropping costs of designing and building inventive new hardware products has prompted a wave of creativity and innovation that echoes the software boom a decade or two ago in Silicon Valley." Makes me wonder... what's next?

    This is a great tool for doing mock-ups of engaging user interfaces. The free version is more than adequate. We use it in a course on graphical user interface design at my university.

    Jerry, Thanks for sharing this resource. Coincidentally, my partner and I used this tool for generating a wireframe for a project in another course just two days back. I was not able to find a 'free' version on the website. There is a 7 day evaluation desktop version and a subscription based web version. I have a PC laptop. Is the free version available for Mac?

  • hey test for multiple diseases at once. They also show how severely a person is infected rather than producing only a positive-negative reading
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • solutions to complicated problems often are found in simple, low-cost technologies.
  • he paper may mold in humid, hot climates. And it's still important for people to get access to doctors so they know what to do about their diagnoses,
