Our thanks to Sortpad for sponsoring this week’s RSS feed. In today’s day and age, almost everyone takes photos. Be it the continuously falling prices of Point-n-shoot cameras or the ever-increasing megapixels in cameraphones that everyone is carrying around these days, one thing is certain — managing these photos is a task in itself. There are apps like Picasa or iPhoto that make this task easy, but there are quite a few people out there who are looking to achieve this with a manual approach. They want to manage their photos the old-fashioned way of filing them in named folders.…

If you have a website, tracking or measuring the traffic the website receives is an obviously important step to consider. Not only does it give you an idea of what kind of traffic your site receives, but it also helps you plan the future of your site and keeps you motivated. There are a large number of different solutions our there — both self-hosted and SaaS — that let you track and analyse the traffic your website receives. One of the most popular solution is Google’s own Analytics. But I’ve had one major issue with Google Analytics, and I know…

You are probably aware of the contents of the screenshot in the image above. That’s the vanilla desktop you get after a fresh OS X Lion installation. Why’s that up there? Because it has been recreated in HTML5 and CSS3 by Alessio Atzeni, a web designer and front-end developer from Rome, Italy.

The desktop features draggable windows, menu items and even buttons. Unless absolutely necessary (like user…

When I was first sent a link to this app, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I was told the app had something to do with cars, and me being more of a Streetfighter guy, that didn’t sound very interesting to me at first. But when I did land up on the app’s website and happened to see its promo video, the sheer brilliance of the app blew my mind. Let me just say right off the bat that Road Inc. is a phenomenally good app and that you should go ahead and buy it. Road Inc. for iPad…

No, it’s not a Dribbble week here on Beautiful Pixels. But we can’t really help it when the fine folks in the iOS developer community keep churning out one beautiful app after another, can we? In the previous post, we told you about Balllin’ app — a beautiful app for both iPhone and iPad to browse the different shots on Dribbble. This week, we bring you Pick’n’Roll. Pick’n’Roll was released only a few days ago and comes from the Icon and UI design studio Ramotion. A quick gander at the portfolio on their website and you’ll know that all their…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably already know about Dribbble. It’s a lovely community of all of designers that share the work they’re either currently working on or have just released to the public. It’s a great place for designers to tease their work and get feedback from other designers and at the same time, generate curiosity towards the design. It is also one of our recommendations for sources to follow for design inspiration. While the Dribbble website works great on the iPhone and iPad, a native experience is always preferred. Using their API, a lot of…
