Hi this is Drew, PM at Layer. Thanks so much for posting this. We're in pre-release, still developing out feature parity with iOS (github.com/layerhq/Atlas-iOS), but wanted to get the base API out into developers hands to start collecting feedback. We haven't done much in the way of publicizing this, but are looking forward to hearing what people think! Stay tuned for the 1.0, coming soon.

Jobs was far too obsessed with simplifying high-technology to have considered a non-tech physical product. But in reducing a product and its purpose to the simplest form, I think he would have agreed that high-tech is not always the answer.

“I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much,” he said as he pointed out the clean elegance of the [Eichler-style homes]. “It was the original vision for Apple. That’s what we tried to do with the first Mac. That’s what we did with the iPod.”

I've taken the same approach. Also no longer using Facebook Connect to sign up for new services - which is one of the only reasons for maintaining an account.
