The interesting thing with that is “facebook” comes across as simple and human-like, despite there being a lot of complexity behind it. Meta is the opposite of this. It sounds robotic, abstract and lacks an emotive trigger. While this is mo

The difference between the Apple “precomposed” and standard icons had to do with the gloss effect on icons on pre iOS 7 home screens. When adding a website/webapp to these earlier home screens, the OS would apply a gloss effect over th

The person arguing with you has misinterpreted how Photos works, the information you have provided is correct - they are merely surfaced in the Photos app and the software provides the user the option to save them to their library. Sometime

I’m curious how they were ever going to extract profit? There is no legitimate means to take currency out of NK.

While all such claims should be taken seriously, the issue remains that such statements are sometimes invented or exaggerated by people who recognise the damage they can cause. Everyone deserves the presumption of innocence, even evil mega

Simple counter-example: There are two ways to subscribe to the New York Times: through an IAP, or by visiting the NYT website. If you then decide that you want to unsubscribe: Subscribed via the IAP? No problem, you click a button Subscribe

You're making the position that everyone should have the same opinion. I'm making the position that cutting off your nose to spite your face isn't productive.

Pffft indeed. You seem to be the only one having trouble with it. Think about that.

If that was their intention: I think the idea here would have been to check if the urine testing was being compromised, rather than to check if people were taking drugs in the bathrooms.

It's fair game to make commentary about a community when there is obvious, widespread myopia. Also quietly amused by the hypocrisy of your comment.

I don't find it frustrating that people can't give credit where it's due. However I do find it frustrating that people will go out of their way to attack these efforts due to some unrealistic and idealistic expectations. If a

Also worth mentioning: express transit pass/ student card system still works after the phone has switched itself off (i.e. reserve mode) It'll work for up to 8 hours until the phone is completely out of juice.

It's like people speaking fondly of their old nokia phones with week-long battery life, while ignoring that it only had a 2 hour talk time. The Apple watch lasts all day when used normally (workouts, apps etc) - for people who are just

Without any special preparation my apple watch will last a full day of hiking while recording the GPS/heart rate/etc. (i.e. 5-7 hours hikes in the mountains.) Cellular, on the other hand, can drain the watch relatively quickly. Mi
