the orange links are irritating and distracting (back to old-fashioned footnotes?). But you can read this in Safari's Reader mode, which sets the links to a moderate blue. Or you can download the book in iBooks - the links start off in

There's a cool iOS app called TI:ME which has decimal, octal, hexadecimal, swatch, and the trigonometry clock.

Such a pity the audio and video quality is so mediocre. Python (David Sanders Julia presentation at iPython conference) did it much better. :)

I'm going to miss AppleScript - in both obvious senses of the word. It was a language I used to swear by, and at. I spent hours getting scripts to work, so I've became used to the language's infelicities, but was always frust

If you work with images a lot, look up sips. I use it a lot, for converting images, rescaling and resizing, etc.

Judging from the reactions in the press, and even in Mathematica user communities, there's a lot of confusion about what's coming. For some people, a bit of plain speaking, rather than marketing hyperbole and premature teasing, w

In the hands of an expert, genius, or wizard, Mathematica is very capable. But lesser mortals will struggle to make it do what they want, and it's never as easy as it looks here...

You're right, I think. The language that's been at the centre of Mathematica for 25 years hasn't had a name of its own (it's just been "the language used in Mathematica"), but now it has its own name - the Wolf

One suggestion when doing address-book related design work is to add names such as Jet Li, Arianna Stassinopoulos, Ho Chi Minh, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Prince (or more appropriate real names) that are annoyingly short or frustratingly lon

I thought that AppleScript looked oddly placed, sheltering directly under Lisp. But some people do consider it to be influenced by Lisp/Scheme - Matt Neuburg proposes the connection somewhere in his 'AppleScript - the definitive g

I don't think apps disappear from your phone, even if they disappear from the app store. If they're in your iTunes library, you can put them on your phone, in my experience.

I love this app, and it's interesting to see the innovation in this familiar space. Oovium for iPad is a great example of fresh thinking. And coming soon, apparently, is the Wolfram Calculator for iPad, featuring user-programmable func

Renault cars have always suffered from poor quality electrics (source: my grateful local garage :-), so this will be unreliable as well. Another good reason to not buy another.

On the other hand, don't make the mistake of thinking that simply eating healthily, exercising, and not smoking or drinking will help you avoid cancer. It won't. I've just watched someone learn that lesson the hard way.

Apple could have avoided some of the problems by continuing the strategy they've adopted with their other apps: Aperture <-> iPhoto, Final Cut <-> iMovie, Logic <-> Garageband - so Pages Pro <-> iPages?
