I think you're forgetting the fact that this application still works. Sure, when iOS 10 is released it may break - but the same could be said for any now-abandoned app. It's a shame but he gave people notice (instead of just stopp

I'm not sure how the UI for this would work, and perhaps it's best left as an idea for a browser extension, but I like the idea of showing a selection of the five or so most recently submitted stories on the homepage, separate fro

It would be interesting to have a map of this and explore a new city by going to the spots with the most photos. It'd mainly be the tourist spots but it'd be more exciting than regular sight-seeing as you'd never know what yo

David Smith is a very successful independent iOS developer - so yes, this would be a business expense.

Emoji is actually more Japan centric, hence the numerous sushi emoji, bento box emoji and various other Japanese items.

You can take it into an Apple Store and they will replace the battery and recycle the old one. Cost varies by device but I suspect it'll cost $200 or so. Far less than replacing the device. This isn't a conspiracy. If you want a t

Bathroom scales that log your weight to your health app automatically. Lights that dim when the movie starts. A front door that unlocks when you approach. None of these are necessary, obviously, but they offer little conveniences. An iKettl

If you read the article closely, it's pretty clear that it's Commercial Building Maintenance Corp that are in the wrong here. Why would WeWork be involved with the staff of the company they hired? If Commercial Building Maintenanc

During the initial production of a new iPhone, which seems to start a month or two in advance of the release, parts are regularly smuggled out of the factories - especially case backs. They're sold to case manufacturers mainly who want

For what it's worth, I had the same experience with my parents. I installed Ubuntu on my dad's laptop and my mum's desktop. They loved it for quite a while - it was much faster, no security problems and no weird errors. I was

My favourite story on a similar note is how a Marc Jacob's boutique was vandalised a few years ago. The vandal spray painted "ART" across the front of the store. Marc Jacobs responded by photographing it and putting it on a t

The problem with doing this, besides being incredibly unprofessional, is that it won't really affect the company much - besides reducing productivity for a little while - however it will annoy the hell out of your previous colleagues.

I've heard good things about the Renew[1] by Herman Miller. The IKEA standing desk, as mentioned by others, is a good and more affordable option too - however it does have a motor. [1] http://store.hermanmiller.com/Prod

One of the huge advantages of (high-end) designer shoes is customisation. Do you have any plans for this? I like the look of your shoes and was considering buying however I didn't like either colour of leather. One of the things I love

I'm surprised you say that thinness doesn't matter for portability. I couldn't imagine going back to my previous ThinkPad (currently using a 13" Macbook Air) - it would take up so much space in my bag. Remember that by t

No, it's 100% local. Even ignoring the privacy concerns of uploading everything you say, it would simply use too much data. You also need to opt-in: it's turned off by default and can be enabled by going to Settings > General &

Clever? There are plenty of completely valid uses for having a phone on whilst driving - such as navigation, streaming music or using CarPlay. As an iPhone needs to be plugged in to use "Hey Siri", this will pretty much entirely a

If you get onto the front page of Hacker News, you can show that to other publications (such as Ars Technica or Techcrunch, for example) and they are more likely to write an article about your company. Then you can take the Ars Technica pos

There's nothing wrong with designing custom UI elements, so long as they're done properly on each platform. For example, Safari's tabs are completely custom (as far as I know) - they can't be used in other applications,

Could not agree more. Firefox has traditionally not been very popular on Mac for this very reason. They've gotten better at imitating OS X slightly, but even today it's still out of the question for me (and I suspect many Mac user

That's why I included Swift. Now that it is going to be open-sourced and available on Linux, it will - hopefully - become a good replacement for Go / etc. Will have to see how the community evolves, of course. Currently I use Go i

But Apple has done exactly that. The core (Darwin) is open-source since the beginning - but other newer parts are open-source too. A great example is Grand Central Dispatch[1] which Apple open-sourced and has been since ported to FreeBSD. A

I used this recently when exporting my Spotify playlists for my switch to Apple Music. It worked pretty well. You still need to copy and paste but it grabs all the correct information for each track. https://github.com/jlund
