Glasses aren't just for distance vision, hence why many DSLR cameras have adjustable focus on the viewfinder.

I assume it's an attempt to differentiate themselves from other news aggregators like Reddit and MetaFilter.

I'll chime in here as I'm currently working on an app that uses MapKit extensively. MKMapViews work in pretty much the same way as they did in iOS 5, no breaking changes. The one thing that did break in my case was the feature of my app tha

I got the precise opposite impression. The keyboard is first and foremost a tool for creation, for writing in the medium of prose, code or in other textual mediums. When simply consuming content on the iPad I never find myself in want of a

As a fellow Australian the pennies aren't what I found most bizarre about US and Canadian currency, I more often found myself getting tripped up by the fact that listed prices in US and Canadian stores never include sales tax.

I ported a theme called Tricolre across which is much more subdued, the pull request[1] just got accepted a few minutes ago. Hopefully I can get a few more themes done, they're very simple to create. The joy of open source is that if there'

I had the same problem but I still got an email for the download link so it's no big deal.

Very nice, although I'd say the icon for numbered lists could be better; right now it simply looks like a chunkier version of the bulleted list button.

Having used the new iPad I did notice that scrolling felt more responsive[1], but that's just as a result of having a more powerful GPU onboard. [1]: Although not to the extent of that Microsoft demo posted a week or two ago.

On top of that there's no way to set it as the default system mail client, otherwise a fantastic app.

To take the cynical standpoint, it's hardly in their best interests to make a first-class app for a competing platform.

This would be really great as an addition to the icons that already ship with Twitter Bootstrap, something like that would really speed up the adoption of this as a standard.

I'm not a Gmail user so I'm not sure how well it works, but I thought Gmail's Priority Inbox was built to solve precisely this problem. How intelligent it is at determining what gets the priority label I don't know but at least someone's pu

Yes but the output format used is proprietary superset of the ePub standard so it wouldn't be possible to view them on other platforms anyway.

Fair point, some Twitter clients let you send a tweeted link straight to Instapaper too, but in my experience the overwhelming majority of links I add come from me using the bookmarklet when I visit a web page.

Regarding the thought that Instapaper is somehow robbing writers of ad revenue, I think it needs to be noted that you actually have to visit an article to add it to your Instapaper queue. On top of that, Readability's model of paying author

Well that's understandable, it makes sense that a developer would want to build up their reputation before attempting a bigger budget game like this. Just make a few smaller games and use the success of those to help raise funds for a large

Not quite true, lesser known developers have been successful on Kickstarter in the past. An example off the top of my head is the game "No Time To Explain" from relatively unknown developer tinyBuild[1]. The key here seems to be producing a

For adventure games running on the SCUMM scripting engine I really suggest you check out ScummVM[1]. It's similar to DOSBox in some regards, but it's designed to run old adventure games, namely those from LucasFilm Games. It even runs games

Effectively Boxer provides an alternate UI to DOSBox, one that saves you from the hassle of manually setting up games and interacting with a DOS prompt. On top of that it adds some niceties like quick access to game manuals, a nice way of d
