There's another angle on this that you haven't covered. Despite having big name founders who can easily get coverage, apps like Path and Oink all have something else in common. Design matters a lot these days, particularly when it comes to

Spotify Premium pricing UK £9.99 US £6.19 ($9.99, converted using google) The UK price is over 50% more than the US price. As someone who's been subscribing to Spotify Premium in the UK for over a year, this feels like quite a slap in the f

Even easier is Marco Arment's suggestion of using a standard 6x10 bubble envelope. http://www.marco.org/1131994352

I'm in the UK and recently had a .ca domain name deleted by the registrar after owning it for 3 years. The registrar had been acting as a 'local presence agent' to bypass the requirements that .ca domains be registered by a Canadian citize

Absolutely, but it's just one piece of a bigger SEO puzzle. The more pieces you figure out, the higher you'll rank. I really just wanted to point out that the article wasn't 'Proof of how important website titles are for SEO', as there are

That exact phrase is also in the first paragraph, the page heading, and in the url. The conclusion that it's the page title that has caused it to rank so well doesn't seem accurate. If anything I'd say that it's a combination of the exact p

He sounds frustrated because he's not a master of CSS. Like most things, this takes a lot of time and practice, and whining about how UI DESIGN IN HTML IS IMPOSSIBLE really doesn't help. After years of working with CSS I tend to go straigh

That is actually pretty cool, and impressive that it's the exact same code. Near the end of the video he says "There's no other technology available that lets you do this.". I'm not sure how accurate that is. I see no reason why this game

i'm guessing he's on a 15" macbook pro which is (typically) 1440px wide. i'm on the same, and the image isn't quite wide enough to fill the browser. no big deal. looks great though, and am quite tempted to give it a go. just to need to f

That seems unlikely. iOS games require you to touch things, which usually means you need to look at the touch screen rather than your TV. I suppose the games that use a virtual d-pad style control system might work, but that hardly seems t

Unfortunately Apple's new TV rental service doesn't seem to extend to the UK. It's a shame, as at £99 I was very happy to buy one until I realised how much less content we're getting compared to the US.

I assume the site is pulling this data from Amazon, and therefore the list of ebook releases is limited to those released for Kindle.

Great idea, and this is definitely something i could see myself using. I'm wondering though, what's the big advantage over me just posting on Facebook 'anyone want to see inception tonight?'? Does it just help me to manage the responses?

This is what I was told when I requested a refund. I have only had the need to make one refund request, so I can't say whether it is true. The most interesting thing was that they don't do anything to take the app back. I received a refund

I only seem able to reproduce it on the latest Safari for OS X. Even Safari for Windows doesn't do it. Weird.

I followed your link to your previous site, Kroomsa, and it proceeded to repeatedly open the site in a new browser window. I was forced to kill Safari, at which point it had 129 windows open. Not cool.

Woz is fairly well known as a philanthropist, and has been since the early 80s. I'd guess that he just hasn't drawn the same level of press attention that the Microsoft billionaires have. I'm also quite sure that he has nowhere near as mu

I think most Mac users (okay, i'm generalising) have become used to their software looking good. There are already many editors for OS X that have simple, elegant interfaces and that follow Mac interface guidelines. e.g. Textmate, Coda, Es

This has bothered me for years. Everything just looks so chunky and inelegant. The difference really hits home if you compare Rhythmbox and iTunes (OS X version, not Windows) side by side. Rhythmbox just appears to be wasting so much spa

Google's image search is a very different beast to their text search. It isn't continually updated in the same way, instead they seem to do an update every month or so. It's 1 month since wwdc when images of iphone 4 appeared, so it's pos

Stating that Apple 'gives nothing away for free' is quite hyperbolic. Apple certainly contribute to open source in more ways than you're giving them credit. See http://www.macosforge.org/ for some examples.

His hints at what's to come from Apple are certainly getting less subtle, and I think he might have given away a bit too much this time. The ppi of the iphone display is already higher than the ipad, so why double the resolution? That one
