Yesterday I received an email from Panic, a Mac software developer and was so impressed by the attention to detail that I wanted to write a post about it. Turns out that the folks over at CampaignMonitor.com did just that so here it is.
Panic has always impressed with their clean and functional design, and they just took it to the next level with Transmit 4 (the ftp application) and this latest email campaign announcing the software upgrade.

CBS 60 Minutes reported this story about Boeing building a security surveillance system along the US and Mexican border, sounds like a total fiasco, partly because Boeing didn’t ask the border control what they needed.

“I’m just kind of amazed that they’re building this, what’s gonna be a multi-billion dollar system for the Border Patrol, and nobody asked the Border Patrol. What… they needed or wanted, or what would be helpful,”

Crazy.. I cannot imagine building a website or designing a brochure without checking in with the client – duh! Isn’t that like one of the most basic ideas of providing a service?
