Great news.
I always refused to use the app, no matter how many of my friends were “reading” stories from it. The Guardian Facebook app seemed to only exist to spam my Timeline.
I’m glad it can no longer do that.
Speaking of Samsung’s extremely poor taste, here’s one of most inappropriate Christmas adverts I think I’ve ever seen.

In a fun piece for The Industry, I take a look at a concept for a “smart-watch” which actually appeals to me. I think the ideas presented by designer Lennart Ziburski are tasteful. They hold up well to scrutiny.
Times must be hard.
