I'm running the latest Toastman on an Asus RT-N66U. Great firmware and awesome hardware.

Agreed. My guess is that we'll get somewhere closer to what you're looking at eventually. True focus of the company is very much in the personal device area, though. However, they have started some work mainly focused on accessibility that

My understanding it's the app store download and install that gets blocked, not the actual running of apps. That's when you see the age-restricted warning, not when you run the app. An imperfect system for your use case, for sure. An exampl

You're thinking of it backwards. The device settings and parental controls are set BEFORE you hand the device to a child.

You restrict based on age ratings. That's the whole point of his argument. You set the rating restriction, block the communication apps, Safari, and the kid cannot go download another browser and surf. If Apple goes lax on these ratings, th

It's funny how this comment comes up in this discussion. It's not about Safari also being able to surf porn sites, it's about Apple wanting to protect the integrity of their parental controls. If I've disabled mature apps as well as Safari

Well, you can see Apple's side of this, no? You're basically saying that you don't deserve the mature, "internet app rating" because your users as usually pretty quick at flagging things or that you have a safe default to catch the rest (wh

The point is, if I have set my son's iOS device to block Safari as well as apps rated as mature, then he won't be able to do either. If 500px's app was rated 12+ because it's default was 'Safe On" (according to one of 500px's owners: http:

Can someone upload a nude photo and not flag it as a nude? Do you guys check this before it gets published? If not, Apple might not care that the default is "Safe On" when someone can either disable it easily (outside of iOS's parental cont

Here's a great story from Cabel at Panic about how Apple approached them to purchase Panic so they could turn Audion into iTunes. Instead, they went with SoundJam: http://panic.com/extras/audionstory/

Sure, but my way means that I get in my car and my podcasts are refreshed, or at least they are when I hit the first set of lights.

You can do this kind-of on the iPhone. Some apps support the geo fence wake-up thing that lets them update subscriptions. For example, you can set your home address in Downcast or Instapaper so that when you leave or arrive, those apps wi

I don't think it's a matter of other apps not running after you suspend Instacast. All apps have a limited amount of time to complete something like a download task while backgrounded. In Downcast, I have set my home as a geo fence, and tel

I didn't need ID to buy two prepaid SIMs when I was in Portugal. Dead simple.

Best thing to do is never sync with iTunes. Just detach completely. I set my iPad up (and my new iPhone) without iTunes at all. iCloud backup let me move from an iPhone 4 to 5 without a USB cable at all and all my data moved over perfectly.

Sounds like you were using an exchange server for your work, and you were storing all your information on that server. Could have been avoided by not storing personal data on your work servers and making sure you have the settings set to st

It seems that Apple did financially compensate Xerox for both the visit and the ideas: "Fact: Apple obtained permission ahead of the Xerox PARC visit. In addition, Apple provided compensation in exchange for the various Xerox PARC ideas suc

Most new home routers will route much more than 100-200 Mbps: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/index.ph... I have the Asus RT-N66U, which is rated on that chart for 730+ Mbps (of course, QoS will bring that down). Even

Ya, they've got it backwards. I was a little confused when the TL;DR was longer than the first part.

People always forget about the Image Capture app too. If you don't want to deal with iPhoto, just plug your phone in and open Image Capture. It's one window with all your pics and videos. Select a couple, drag to the desktop, then to whatev

Kind of sounds like Gruber didn't like it when Dan said "So, you approved a new 5by5 t-shirt." That strikes me as something Gruber would get pissed off about — Dan not clearing something like a new t-shirt that uses 'his' brand.

iOS has the option in the Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars section. It is set to load remote images by default.

Just command click on the name in the titlebar, it will show you where it is. In 10.8, you can even rename and move from the titlebar. I think this behaviour change is very good, it just doesn't fit our expected and established workflow. Pe

One complaint: When browsing artists, why don't you move though the Artist -> Albums -> Songs hierarchy? If I have an artist with 10 albums, selecting that artist just gives me an alphabetical list of all their songs across all 10 a

Ya, that's important to understand. This is really just another UI for your existing music (works great with my iTunes match library for instance). You can even switch between both the built-in app and deck to control if you want.

My problem with the built in app is the placement of important buttons. I'm constantly hitting back/play/forward instead of the "back" button when navigating artists or albums. It's the same issue I have with the AirPlay icon on the iPhone

How out of touch is Google? From: http://books.google.com/help/ebooks/ios.html "Recommended for iPhones with 256MB memory or above" That's an easy way to confuse a set of customers that either don't know or don't care about how much RAM t
