Microsoft Edge

New Logo for Microsoft Edge


Microsoft Edge will replace Internet Explorer as the default web browser for its latest desktop and mobile operating system, Windows 10. Internet Explorer has long been the butt of many jokes and the frustration of any living designer, coder, and developer, and its e-planet icon is one of the most well-known internet logos so for someone like me who has made many jokes at Explorer's expense and has been frustrated by it as a living designer and light coder I find it interesting/perplexing/unexpected that Microsoft would want any kind of affiliation with its browser's past. If the idea is to signal that this is a whole new kind of browser — and based on the video it sure looks like it — communicating that this is sort of like the old one is a bad strategy. What I see in the new logo is an evolution of the Internet Explorer experience not a revolution on the Windows 10 web browsing experience. Strategy aside, the new logo is kinda wonky. I will admit that the curves and actual execution are pretty good — it's well constructed — but the core idea and structure feel unbalanced and makes the "e" appear as if it's about to fall backwards. I also keep thinking "hipster hairdo".

Sony Xperia

Sony Releases Android M Developer Preview for 12 Xperia Devices Sony has shocked a few people this week, including myself, releasing an  Android M Developer Preview  build for a total of 12 Xperia devices. In a blog post, Sony goes over the importance of preparing for the official Android M launch, giving developers time to test apps and play with new APIs. To be exact, the Android M preview has been released for the Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact, Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z2 Tablet, Xperia Z1 Compact, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia E3, Xperia M2, Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia T3. In terms of device support, this is pretty impressive considering you don’t see any other OEM allowing for this.  Flashing Android M does not look to be overly complicated. All you will need to download is the file itself, binaries, and then verify your apps upon completion. Do note, Sony stresses that these builds are not meant for daily usage. You will need an unlocked bootloader,
