Gig review: Warpaint @ The Leadmill - Sheffield,...
When I first heard Warpaint, a few months back on 6Music, I instantly took a liking to their first single release, Undertow.

My favourite:
Enable ‘X-Ray Folders’ in QuickLook
The QuickLook feature of Finder is great, but if you use it on a folder, you won’t see anything except a folder icon. Using this hidden setting, you’ll be able to see the contents of the folder when you use QuickLook.

To turn off, replace the ’1′ with a ’0′.

How TV advertising increases online brand searches

Why this weekend's Twitter announcement makes...
Twitter may have angered the developer community yesterday by announcing that they will no longer be supporting third-party apps that just replicate the official client’s functionalities but this should not come as a surprise to anyone and makes perfect sense. Here are some of the reasons why:

Legend has the police smashing them with sledgehammers and hurling the...

E-consultancy has just published a very interesting post about their methodology to measure the impact of twitter on their referral traffic and e-commerce transactions.
It is preceded by some caveats such as:
