Best practices when adding single sign-on to your app with the Live SDK - Windows 8 app developer blog A few months ago I wrote about how to bring single sign-on and SkyDrive to your Windows 8 apps with the Live SDK. Since then we made the Windows 8 Release Preview publicly available and we’ve begun to see some inconsistency in the design patterns forming in how apps expose entry points for users to sign in, connect accounts or sign-out of their experience. To help you with these design patterns, we put together some guidelines for apps that want to use a user’s Microsoft account. In this post I share those guidelines with you and show you some code for how to get started. There are three primary scenarios where your app might need to integrate authentication with Microsoft accounts: Your app requires the user to be signed in to work. Now let’s dive into the details of each of these. Guidelines for apps that require a user to sign in If the user isn’t signed into their PC with a Microsoft account, the app displays a standard sign-in dialog. Sign-in dialog. Permission dialog.

Laws Of Subtraction Matthew May Human Connectome Project, Science, March 2012. Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz has developed a successful behavioral treatment for people with OCD based on neuroplasticity — that you can change the wiring of your brain by altering the way you think. Relabeling: Changing how you identify certain thoughts. Reattribute: Understand why you're engaging in a certain behavior, so you can change it. Refocus: Systematically engage in a different behavior. Revalue: See the old patterns as distractions, rather than compulsions. Source: The Laws Of Subtraction

Robert Greene Mastery Daniel Everett, a gifted linguist, was failing to learn the language of the Paraha tribe in the Amazon, which stumped researchers for years. He failed because he approached it as a linguist and Christian missionary, from a position of superiority. He didn't master the language until he learned it like one of the Paraha's children, dependent on the tribe, and subject to the same restraints, inferiority, and need for support that they were. Entering a new place or path you need to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible. Lingering prejudices and feelings of superiority hamper that. Source: Robert Greene's "Mastery"

Best Android apps for pet lovers There’s no denying that no (wo)man is an island. But, sometimes we don’t want another human being to keep us company. That’s why there’s the saying, a dog is a (wo)man’s best friend. You don’t have to have a dog, of course. There’s a whole score of other pet companions you could have with you. Some prefer cats, others birds, another group of pet lovers prefer rodents. A number of apps geared towards pets and pet lovers have cropped up in the Google Play Store, so we’ve put together some of the must-haves for pet owners. Rate My Pets If you’ve got a pet and you want to show it off to the whole world, download Rate My Pets for your Android device today. Be creative and dress up your pets to make them extra cute and get more votes. You don’t have to be a pet owner to enjoy just how adorable these little critters are, but we highly suspect you’ll be longing for a cat, dog, or bird of your own once you’re done rating pet pictures.

“Imamo gotovu aplikaciju, šta sad?” Lansiranje i promocija mobilnih aplikacija Dugačak je put od početne ideje preko zamornog kodiranja, dizajniranje interfejsa, alfa i beta testiranja do finalnog proizvoda. Međutim, na kraju tog puta čeka vas još jedan, jer nije dovoljno samo postaviti aplikaciju u App Store ili Google Play. Kako se postarati da aplikacija stigne do krajnjeg korisnika? Pre svega, postoje dve vrste korisnika koji mogu instalirati vašu aplikaciju: organski korisnici (koji sami pronađu vašu aplikaciju) i “plaćeni” korisnici (koji instaliraju aplikaciju nakon pregleda reklame). I jedan i drugi izvor korisnika je podjednako bitan, pošto i plaćeni korisnici mogu bitno uticati na rang vaše aplikacije i samim tim povećati broj organskih korisnika. Optimizacija ključnih reči – “App Store SEO” ili “ASO” Prvi i osnovni način jeste da se postarate da korisnik što lakše pronađe vašu aplikaciju na samom uređaju, u odgovarajućoj “prodavnici” – bio to App Store u slučaju iOS-a ili Google Play u slučaju Androida. “Inbound” marketing Lansiranje aplikacije – PR
