A compass for the iPhone?
Ever since Apple (AAPL) shipped the first beta version of iPhone 3.0,
the new firmware scheduled for release this summer, developers have
been mining it for evidence of any new hardware features that might
appear in the next iPhone — widely expected to ship around the same
time.
The latest discovery, via The Boy Genius Report: controls for a digital compass.

A compass, magnetic compass or mariner's compass is a navigational
instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic
poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the
North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The
compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel,
especially ocean travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading,
used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine
chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved
navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by
modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS).Full topic

Perfection is achieved,
not when there is nothing more to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.
 - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
 
Same principle applies to any project, business, startup, software,

That's why posterous simplicity is so attractive...
That's why simple web layouts are so successfull..

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry[1] (pronounced [ɑ̃twan də sɛ̃tɛgzypeˈʀi]) (29
June 1900—31 July 1944) was a French writer and aviator. He is most
famous for his novella The Little Prince, and is also well known for
his books about aviation adventures, including Night Flight and Wind,
Sand and Stars.
He was a successful commercial pilot pre-war, joining the Armée de
l'Air (French Air Force) on the outbreak of war, flying reconnaissance
missions until the armistice with Germany. Following a spell writing
in the United States, he joined the Free French Forces. He went
missing on a reconnaissance flight over the Mediterranean in July
1944.

shirt
O.E. scyrte "skirt, tunic," from P.Gmc. *skurtijon "a short garment"
(cf. O.N. skyrta, Swed. skjorta "skirt, kirtle;" M.Du. scorte, Du.
schort "apron;" M.H.G. schurz, Ger. Schurz "apron"), from the same
source as O.E. scort, sceort (see short). Formerly of garments worn by
both sexes, but long in modern use only for men; in ref. to women's
tops, reintroduced 1896. Shirt-sleeve in ref. to "without a coat"
first recorded 1566. Bloody shirt, exposed as a symbol of outrage, is
attested from 1586. To give (someone) the shirt off one's back is from
1771. To lose one's shirt "suffer total financial loss" is from 1935.
To keep one's shirt on "be patient" (1904) is from the notion of
stripping down for a fight.

A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body. Originally an
undergarment worn exclusively by men, it has become in American
English a catch-all term for almost any upper-body garment other than
outerwear such as sweaters or coats, or undergarments such as bras.
The term "top" is sometimes used in ladieswear. In British English, a
shirt is more specifically a garment with a collar, sleeves with
cuffs, and a full vertical opening with buttons. This is known in
American English as a dress shirt.

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of
life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at
That goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

Ixquick is a metasearch engine based in New York and the Netherlands,
and has provided over 120 million searches since 2004. [1] Ixquick was
founded by David Bodnick (currently Ixquick's lead "Technologist") in
1998, from New York. It is now owned by a Dutch company - Surfboard
Holding BV, which acquired this search engine in 2000. [2]
 
Ixquick returns the top ten results from multiple search engines. It
uses a "Star System" to rank its results - by awarding one star for
every result that has been returned from a search engine. Thereby, the
top search results are the ones that have been returned from the most
search engines. Ixquick also can search in 17 languages, including
Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Each language version
includes local search engines.
 
Ixquick was re-launched on March 23, 2005, with many new features
including a re-engineered metasearch algorithm, and an international
phone and lowest-price directory. [3]
On June 27, 2006, Ixquick.com became the first search engine to delete
private details of its users [4]. IP addresses and other personal
information are deleted within 48 hours of a search. [5] Ixquick also
does not share its users' personal information with other search
engines or with the provider of its sponsored results. [6]
Ixquick was awarded the first European Privacy Seal (EuroPriSe) for
its privacy practices on July 14, 2008. This European Union-sponsored
initiative guarantees compliance with EU laws and regulations on data
security and privacy, through a series of design and technical
audits.[7]
As of January 29th 2009 Ixquick no longer records users' IP addresses at all.[8]
