   I'm not sure I've ever seen anything described as being '1x' faster, without any fractional part. It's such an uncommon usage, I really don't think you can categorically declare that '1x faster means twice

   You know you can tap anywhere in the image in the default iOS camera app to expose for that spot? Or tap, hold and drag up or down to manually adjust exposure. Admittedly, you still don't see the shutter speed or aperture info, but it

    Learn how to use multiple selections. On OS X CTRL + SHIFT + UP/DOWN will create a new cursor on the next line up or down. And you can CMD + LMB-click to insert a new cursor anywhere. I cannot count how much time this feature saves me.

    The Sport section manages to load the menus and footer now, but no content. Earlier it was just a generic 500 error page. I actually can't remember the last time the BBC went down. I was a little worried something horrible had happened

    I read this on my iPad this morning and, although I like the idea behind the presentation, I found it really annoying that when I scrolled the line of text I was reading to the top of the screen, it would often start to fade out while it fa

    They did at least used to have a discussion/comments section on each documentation page, which I often found at least as useful as the actual docs. And then they removed them, because, umm, maybe they were too useful, who knows! :(
