App store analytics provider Distimo yesterday published its latest report, once again zooming in on the pricing of mobile applications across a variety of platforms.

[This one is, as they say, wonkisk.] As James Bullard noted in the previous post, we "have one of the world's experts on the question of the dynamics" of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models here at the University of Oregon, particularly models that involve learning.

There has been considerable controversy recently about the dynamic properties of DSGE models near the zero bound, in particular whether raising the federal funds rate target can help to avoid falling into a deflationary trap. So I asked George to explain this on video, and he graciously agreed to do so. The bottom line is that in these models, the type of policy discussed by Minnesota Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota increases rather than decreases the chance of a deflationary spiral.Here's George Evans

Are you looking for a basic understanding of how UIs are created on the web or who wants to brush up outdated UI development knowledge? Or maybe you'd like to learn more about the medium you're designing for and gain basic tools for prototyping designs? Do you want a better understanding of the web and how Google makes the pages that are its face to the world? If so, "HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the Ground Up" is for you.

When we think about the networks that defined modern life in the 20th century -- roads, electrical transmission grids, sewer, water -- it's important to remember that they worked together. The historian David Nye likes to point out that roads and cars may have allowed people to get to the suburbs, but it was the electrical appliances and entertainments those suburban homes contained that made them desirable places to live.

As hundreds of thousands of pilgrims throng the Grand Mosque in pursuit of blessings in the last 10 days of Ramadan, the growing phenomenon of irritating mobile phones is disturbing the worshippers. Arab News reports.

Great news for Europeans and those few U.S. users of music streaming service Spotify. Sonos, creator of the super cool (my descripton) S5 music player, is announcing today that users will soon be able to listen to streaming Spotify music through their Sonos devices. That means users will now be able to listen to music files stored on any computer in their home as well as Spotify, Rhapsody, Napster, Deezer, Pandora and other services.

I've never been much of a fan of incubators. Some have made the model work. My favorite of the bunch is Betaworks, based here in NYC. Betaworks is more than an incubator, but they have shown that they can make the incubation model work with projects like bit.ly and chartbeat.<br />
<br />
But one aspect of incubation that I like very much is the idea that multiple projects are sharing the same workspace. The term for this kind of work setup is coworking. There are various approaches to coworking.

On my current project I was introduced to Behavior Driven Development. When I first heard of BDD, I thought, “Is BDD any more than a new way to name your test methods? What’s the big deal?”

Here’s a simple unit test class that I might have written in the past:

Before we learn to work miracles, therefore, let's take a little time to review how to build web sites that look good both inside and out, and see how JavaScript fits into the picture.

Mbrace version 2.0 still lets drivers unlock their vehicles and, more importantly, find it in a crowded parking lot while adding location-based personal assistance ranging from entertainment, restaurant, directions, and traffic updates via Mercedes-Benz's Concierge service -- assuming you're are an mbrace PLUS customer. Destination information is then fired off directly to your in-vehicle navigation system to get you there. The updated app also includes enhanced Roadside Assistance that transmits the driver's location whenever a call is initiated. Think OnStar with a posh European accent.
