HTC’s lead designer resigns from post less than a year after predecessor

There seems to be a pattern when it comes to HTC these days. Shortly after the M9 release, HTC’s Vice President of Industrial Design Jonah Becker steps down from his post. Last year after the release of M8, Scott Croyle, the former lead designer, also resigned from the position. Becker and Croyle were part of One & Co., a company HTC purchased in 2008. Becker will be replaced by another former colleague of his in One & Co., Daniel Hundt. Let’s hope he sticks around.

Vine videos go HD… finally

It took a while but Vine is close to leaving eye-searing 480p video behind. The company announced that 720p quality video will finally be showing up on the service on both Android and iOS (not sure if it’s going to hit Windows Phone though). It’s already rolling out slowly and according to Engadget, some have been spotted embedded around the web.

You don’t really have to do anything to your Vines to upload them in 720p but this is currently just available on iPhone users. Android users will have to wait a bit for their Vines to be uploaded in HD, too.
