"...only in encrypted iTunes backups...", I think certain encrypted data is also stored in iCloud backups as you're required to authenticate the restore before it continues. An iCloud restore recently brought back all my emai

I tried the leave it and come back and it didn't work for me, only a full power-off cycle. It does seem to be slightly different quirks across different user devices.

Re; MyFitnessPal, I've not experienced that but I've only logged 3 days worth of data so far since I connected it to HealthKit. It does seem to be an inconsistent issue for people as well, which makes it harder to determine which

I've had this happen a few times (iPhone 6, iOS8.0.2), but I've found that powering off my phone and restarting seems to restore the data. None of it is truly gone for me, it remains logged and listed, but it's almost like it

Or it's a sign that the market was saturated at too high a price, or a sign that people are waiting for the official release so they don't have the risk of not having warranty. If it's a glum sign for Apple that China has los

I think, for me, the game falls into the same category as EvE. Fun to read about, but I don't think I could ever commit that much time to it, but it does sound like it's great fun.

It's a bit of an ugly duckling device, and I'm not sure it can ever grow into a beautiful swan.

I'm a little puzzled why this has been down voted. Plastic does suffer similar effects under pressure, it's very easy to demonstrate that as well.

It's a bit of hysteria, as like you've pointed out they sold 10m units and so far about a dozen people have had issues with bending. There's an issue yes, but it doesn't seem to be as widespread as the news reports seem

No but it could potentially crack in your pocket, and still be cracked when you take it out.

With 'antennagate', there was an issue where holding it would bridge the specific antenna areas which would cause a signal reduction. It was an issue, but it was also overblown because to get it to kill the signal you had to hold

Sure, but it's not a normal phone, it's essentially a mini-tablet at that size. Yes, there's a pervading sense of 'you're pocketing it wrong', but there's been a few photos dug up and Apple will have sold

Plastic can also suffer similar effects, enough pressure and it'll crack or start showing the bend point but it'll return to shape more than metal.

The mild level of hysteria over this has been interesting. It's a slab of thin aluminium that has a large surface area, a consistent amount of pressure is going to cause bending. I'm personally surprised that the glass didn't

Infinity Blade, Monument Valley and Year Walk are 3 I've played that have been frankly excellent. Year Walk was without a doubt one of my favourite games of 2013.

I'm probably a heavy drinker, maybe, depends on the week. I had a couple where I was drinking every day, then a dry week, then a holiday where I drank every day, now a dryish week. Mostly I drink more over the summer, more parties and

That still doesn't justify 'Apple's days of pandering to peasants are over' though. There's going to be a low end, a mid-range and an ultra-high end. I personally think the Watch & Support will be reasonably clo

Sure, and on screen the S5 might not look too big, but in my hands it felt ungainly and awkward for anything longer than a few minutes. The point I was making was that the 6+ might be a better tradeoff with less battery life but a slimmer p

Apple has always, always had price delineation across the range. They've also probably sat down and looked at expected use-cases for their Watch product range, the Sport doesn't receive a Sapphire display which could be price moti

When I held a S5 it felt a bit too thick to be comfortable for my hand size. I don't think I've got particularly small hands, but it was definitely a bit too much for longer than quicker interaction use.

I've been building an app with a Today extension, it has been...interesting. The view auto layout parts aren't quite working correctly, testing is a bit of a mare in the Simulator and deployment testing is also a bit of a pain. It

Actually what I think the SNP are saying is non-Scottish peoples opinions aren't of as much importance as Scottish peoples opinions. Which is fair, it's their country, they get to decide their own future.

Part of me wants to say that gives Osbourne a lot more credit than he deserves, part of me thinks he's probably shrewd enough to have a go at it with some level of success.

"If the vote is YES the Prime Minister in office when independence takes effect (most likely to be Labour) would certainly have to resign." I doubt it, if Scotland votes yes it'd probably cripple Cameron's career, not wh

I use Evernote for this, as well as a couple of journals which when they're filled live on a bookcase. I tried a few more complicated systems and found that I spent more time filing the information than I was using it at times and just

Partially a diss, partially as if it's the default editor it'll open with no clear indication of how to actually quit it in certain circumstances. I had to do the same thing repeatedly when I first encountered it.

That FAQ is broken, the first thing on there should be "How do I quit vim?".

First app I submitted to the App Store was rejected, for an edge case I'd not tested (slow network) and they were concerned that the app wasn't communicating to the user what was occurring, which was fine. I improved it, resubmitt

I had my iPad replaced recently, had some issues restoring it as my backup state was inconsistent and ended up going for a full 'clean' device. It was interesting, for the first 4 weeks I had barely any apps on there outside of Ki
