iPod touch is thinner than an iPhone and still has a 3.5mm jack. Thickness considerations isn’t a reason to remove it. The thickness of iPhone 6S/Plus actually increased compared to 6/Plus to accommodate the, to me, gimmicky 3D

Atlassian has become much less of a caring company since they’ve gone public (or are preparing to). They’ve completely ruined SourceTree on Mac (an unnecessary interface redesign that took functionality away which still hasn’t been fixed al

This makes little sense to me. If this is done to boost sales, was Apple losing money before when the review times were longer? Why would they opt to lose money? Although the shorter review times are nice I don’t think the stated reason her

I’m not sure you’d really want the crap-fest that is Xcode’s code. It has so many bugs and issues that it’s a better idea to completely dump it and either start over or give up and adopt something like AppCode, like Google did with Android

You have ultra thin font weights on your site which is extremely difficult to read even to my, relatively, young eyes, and to add insult to injury, you’ve disabled sub-pixel antialiasing for these fonts! I don’t know if this is a new fad in

It’s a concept — and in the automotive world a concept might as well be vaporware because most of the time the final product is nothing like the concept — and won’t be coming out until “early 2018.” By then, if things go smoothly for Tesla

There is very much a technical reason that third-party rendering engines won’t work: JavaScript JIT. Basically, for JIT to work, a process has to be able to mark a piece of memory executable, which would cause all sorts of issues with sandb

"It can’t be at the same rate that Apple is paying them after free users become subscribers, since Apple is paying out a percentage of revenue once subscribers start paying. Instead, he says, Apple will pay rights holders on a per-stre

Not to take anything away from the Serif guys, they’re doing a fantastic job, but most of the underlaying value of these software packages (Affinity Designer, Pixelmator, Sketch, iDraw, etc.) come from the strong frameworks in place on Appl

Some of the “glyphs” (is that the correct term?), like the arrows (->, =>) look nice but some of the other ones (!=, !==) look too similar and would require a double take to be perceived correctly. It’s an interesting idea and I like

This is a case of “works on my machine.” There are serious[1] documented[2] issues[3] with Yosemite[4] that were not there in the previous OS X release, and, after multiple point updates still haven not been fixed. Apple has dropped the b

I wouldn't think so since, as far as I know, the Utopia network was never built out in SLC. Provo had their own and it was a very simple handover for them, but Google's apparently[1] going to build one out, either using dark fiber

The AAC files that you get from iTunes are DRM free so you shouldn't need to convert to MP3 and take a small hit in quality. Most devices _should_ be able to play the .m4a files.

Yahoo's rolling out a new interface for search for Firefox by the end of this year, and other browser beginning next year. The official Mozilla blog [1] has screenshots of the new design, which mimics the existing cleaner Google site.

It'll be very interesting to see what this does to Bing's marketshare in six months or so, since Yahoo's search runs through Bing. Although we might never find out, I'm very curious to find out the terms of the deal. Did

When Microsoft failed to purchase Yahoo to $47.5bn billion in 2008, they reached a 10-year deal in 2009 for Yahoo to use Bing's infrastructure and "backend" for search [1]. Yahoo provides their own UI/UX and Microsoft pr

They can fix this problem. Decouple the hardware and software releases. There is nothing wrong with a new device that runs the older OS for a couple of months. Look at it this way: - New device with a new OS that requires a few rapid update

There are a few very well-written wrappers that make utilizing the Obj-C runtime much easier. MAObjCRuntime [1] is a good example of such a wrapper. Look at MACollectionUtilities [2] as an example of how to use MAObjCRuntime. [1]: https:/
