Note that an app could conceivably be made that would on launch allow you to download all of Wikipedia. This limit is just on the size of the app binary as it's downloaded from the App Store.

I agree that the presets could use some work, but in case you missed it, if you click the chevron to the right of "Suggested Colors", you can set the color/brightness manually.

Very nice, was wishing aloud just last night for something this straightforward. I expect I'll be using this a lot. I'd love to see it have a menu bar item option. And I note that the interface would work nearly as-is on iOS. (And

On mobile it combines the sides together in a way that I find an appealing option. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/xRvDubc Anybody know if there's an easy way to get something like the mobile view on desktop (without spoo

It's like iOS 8 - you can either have your photos just locally or all in iCloud Photo Library. Of course, being a Mac you could probably put that "local" photo library in a cloud service like Dropbox or iCloud Drive. Or use a

GIFs have LZW lossless compression which I'd expect would perform pretty decently on images of terminals, with their long runs of similar colors. Probably not nearly as well as a lossy video format but a far cry from uncompressed. Edit

Smart and useful! And if there are issues with the GIF format, surely others could easily be added. Nice work.

It seems to me at least as likely to have the "Win-OS/2 effect" of putting a bunch of apps (most of which feel really out of place and none of which feel great) on the platform while causing even fewer developers to target it

I suspect that "bug" will be "fixed" by upcoming and future generations that haven't experienced a world without these things. (Which I suppose could arguably be alternatively phrased as "by more tightly integr

Yeah, but a staged accident in the middle of an ocean sounds pretty unsafe, too.

I can't tell if "Of-by-one errors" is a clever joke or a typo.

I'm not the OP and I wouldn't necessarily say I'm "offended" by it, but it's kinda gross and I dislike it, especially in a context of wanting more diversity in my field. Would the world be a tiny bit better wit

Presumably it's a sort of sideways/backhanded almost-compliment to OS X: it works well enough comparatively that its plusses overwhelm its negatives for the commenter. But, they still wish it supported more flexibility; and the fa

Agreed. On a small notebook display I tend to work with one or a small few windows at a time, usually taking up most or all of the display area. Aspect ratio is highly relevant to my experience there and actually guides the aspect ratio of

I'd be OK with criticizing his capital gains if he were dead and they didn't seem to be distributed reasonably. At least until then, it seems pretty gross to criticize him on that basis. And to call a member of such an influential

Apparently it was at one time. According to this, "NextStep" and "OpenStep" were written a number of different ways. Strange times. http://www.objectfarm.org/Activities/Publications/TheMerger&#x

I love Paul Rand but I've never loved this logo and I don't think any amount of explanation of it could ever cause me to. And I like even less the way it caused them to write the company name ("NeXT"). Complicated, ugly,

Sure. Upon review, I made it sound like you were suggesting that it should be changed; but you hadn't, and had only pointed out the contextual awkwardness. I apologize.

This is unfortunate for German, but not a big deal for most other-language speakers, I think. I could of course be off, but as an English-speaking American who's likely a bit more knowledgable about WWII than average, the unfortunatene

As is discussed above, though, even if such displays appear, who will have anything to plug them into? Yes, some people will be able to go find a specific kind of video card to plug into their homebuilt rig to drive it, but who will be offe

Are they actually crucial, though? There was a ton of gnashing of teeth about iOS 7 (and other "flat" designs) but one rarely hears those anymore… and it's not at all clear to me that less-savvy users are having more troubl

In fact, I don't believe it has NFC, so the Apple Pay is only for apps.
