Top 10 Luxury Brands’ Sites Fail To Work On iPad
Happy to say that Au Lit Fine Linen’s website works great on an iPad. Yes I’m putting Au Lit Fine Linens on a luxury brand list. If you don’t know now you know, get familiar. via Kottke.org
P.S. I didn’t design or code Au Lit’s website (I shot the homepage photographs) but I like to think I influence their web strategy (i.e. JavaScript image rotation). Hashtag = #geek.

THR: The episode of Modern Family about the iPad was not a paid placement, but just an idea by the writers
In fact, there was no product placement. This was widely assumed, and everybody was wrong. We wanted to do a show about Phil getting very excited about a new product and it seemed the perfect one to use, since it was debuting [April 3]. We approached Apple about getting their cooperation (using the product, for example, and they are notoriously secretive about their products prior to their being launched) and they agreed and gave us a few other small concessions. But there were no stipulations as with normal product placement, i.e. we give you X dollars and you have to feature our product such-and-such a way and say such-and-such nice things about it. We are not angels — we have made those agreements with other companies. But that was not the deal with Apple. It was all story-driven.
