Wholeheartedly agree with this section: “ Lee: Do you think people should use adblock software? Snowden: Yes. Everybody should be running adblock software, if only from a safety perspective … We’ve seen internet providers like Comcast, AT&a

Um… based on your stance, I don’t think you meant to call that “an understatement”. ;)

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I thought they were distributing the source for you to compile yourself.

You should absolutely try iCab Mobile. See my post here¹. iCab has been around for a really long time on desktops. Seriously, it existed before even Mac OS X², so it’s no surprise that the dev would carry all that experience over to the iOS

“ If Firefox for iOS implements WebRTC on top of Webkit, for example, that's a clear win for users. ” In its current state, at least, I wouldn’t call it a ‘clear’ win for users: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9893

Yep. It’s a feature that’s already been around for quite a while. Safari on my iPod touch (3rd generation) running iOS 5.1.1 has it.

That will probably get removed soon. I believe Apple already made him get rid of a similar feature in an update for Pythonista (I could be remembering wrong though… maybe they made him remove something else?). EDIT: Oh, wait, found it: htt

This is why I use iCab on iOS¹. It already has pretty much all the extensions I’d ever need already included (ad blocking, readability, etc.). (Note: That screenshot on the homepage isn’t really what it looks like on newer versions of iOS.

Um, OS X already has a nice, built-in, free way to change keyboard shortcuts across any application (with a GUI). Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts. Then click the '+' button. Now change &#

Frankly, I don’t mind the idea (any physical keyboard giving you easier access to portions of Unicode’s vast repertoire of characters is a good thing in my book), but just one option/alt key is a no-go for me. I already make huge use o

Yeah, that’s probably a major advantage of OS X over Linux; access to native versions of what the general populace would consider 'major' applications. Edit: Well, the edit just done to the parent comment makes my comment mostly u

He’s getting downvoted because of the snark. If he read the article, he’d see that even Apple themselves refer to it as 30-bit: https://www.cinema5d.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/iMac-10-... http:&#x2F

From what I can gather, it doesn’t seem like it runs on PowerPC Macs. Too bad, I would’ve liked to try it out.

Hmm… my sister has a Fitbit, but she only syncs it with her iPad. I’m guessing this won’t affect her.

“This gave us the iBook and iMac machines (consumer), and the Powerbook and Mac Pro machines (professional)” Small nitpick: the Mac Pro series didn’t exist until Apple switched over from PowerPC processors to Intel in 2006. What you meant

The issue is that Safari pops up JavaScript alerts as a native dialog box, which can’t be ignored until it’s dismissed (since it stops you from doing anything else). A nice extension you can use for Safari that replaces the native dialog bo
