Since this change, I haven't seen any difference in my contacts. It looks like it's still pulling all available email addresses, not just facebook.com ones.

The Mac App Store icon infers that it's a Mac app. As for languages, you're right that it isn't clear. Having said that, the main window is a text editor which performs highlighting on all of the major web languages (in Coda 1.x anyway).

Can 13MB really be considered "big" on multi-gigabyte phones? I'm all for efficiency, but I can't see this as being an overbearing file size.

> What do Path, Hipstamatic, Highlight, Hipster (yes, that’s an app), and Color have in common? They create absolutely nothing of value. The post begins with and relies upon this faulty premise. This is not explained, and I would argue

True enough, but I don't believe that's the discussion we are, or should be, having. I think it's a case of reanalysing our consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of low-wage labour and being very fastidious about how we approach

"Good investigative work by Grant “chpwn” Paul. iOS includes a Carrier IQ daemon, but it doesn’t seem to log any particularly sensitive information. Nothing like a keylogger or reading SMS messages. He’s documenting his research on Twitter

They changed it with the mid-2007 MacBook Pro. Prior to that they had a tiny hole to the right of the iSight.

This [1] was after Jobs stepped down as CEO, but it was obviously being planned while he was chief. The company went to an almost excessive extent in order for the store to be symmetrical. [1] http://www.macrumors.com/2011/08/30/new-apple-

When I can ask my smartphone "what time is the next bus arriving?" without having to touch it, that's when it's a really smart phone. I hope it's that level of a kick.

Joe Wilcox isn't the sharpest when it comes to Apple rumours. My personal favourite is his bit [1] on why the Verizon iPhone wasn't announced by Apple (there's a great response in the comments which Gruber grabbed and put on DF)[2]. Apple's

After working a bit on a film in college, I started noticing cuts, and it started to drive me insane. It's one of those things that's largely inconsequential. I, as an audience member, am aware when a cut is made. But now, after doing a bit
