That's good that they are taking support for this particular product seriously. I've also heard they have good support for their paid services.

Rdio just charges more on iOS. "Rdio costs the price you see if you subscribe via Apple’s in-app subscription service. This price difference is due to Apple’s policy of taking a 30% cut of subscriptions that occur through their service

Using SMS for this may work better than email. Email passwordless tends to get bogged down in little problems. Like the email is slow or goes to the spam folder. Or on mobile, clicking a link in an email may not take you into the web brow

It's not just developer-type tools that can't be sandboxed. Dropbox can't. BackBlaze can't.

The key moment was when they allowed in-app purchases for free apps in October 2009, after introducing IAP in March 2009. If they had held that line, the app store would be a much different place.

This is what some developers do, but as you say, it limits what you can add. A new discrete feature, yes. A replacement feature, not really. And it means you need to support the unpaid code path forever.

I think a lot of people pay attention to the new tech in the Tesla but don't follow any other luxury sedans, so they do come off a bit uninformed.

Interesting, is that because it's two named routes ?

That would probably require a class action suit.

It's $879 for 18 trips within 45 days. So that's going to lot of sleeping on trains.

It seems like it should just add all those in as separate models. Pretty easy.

Plus replacing a zero hour commuter with any commute. That's more hours away from home for the same job.

I have certainly worked with people in the office who hurt my productivity.

They are intermittent 500s, which point to performance issues.

I just tried it, and voice dictation on the iPhone does a surprisingly good job with a well produced podcast. It's missing all punctuation of course, and tends to make a lot of mistakes on small words like prepositions. But for a fir

I honestly think the blog approach where you highlight sections is the best way to do it. General transcripts are indeed almost impossible to do, especially when there are weekly shows that run for over two hours each episode.

It's nice when people write up podcasts. There's so much content locked up in them that is only appreciated by 1% of the audience compared to when the same people write blog posts.

Is Apple being intentionally obtuse? If they want to ban app launchers, ban app launchers, not "home screen replacements." I mean, how is Launch Center Pro allowed (for years now) if app launchers are so clearly banned? https:&#

Which part of that is describing this exactly? Is this extension really a home screen alternative? Is this extension showing widgets that simulate multiple apps?

Does it really matter what his compromise is? His app is a Today widget app launcher. Apple decided after initially approving it that you can't make Today widget app launchers. The end. I agree that the dev thinking it is a "val

Except it wasn't rejected. It was accepted, sold, and then Apple changed their mind. Did we agree to that fickleness?

Apple isn't specific on that point in their documentation, but I'd expect it to be included only in encrypted iTunes backups, like other secure items.

The step data is surprisingly fine grained. I will get 5-10 data points per minute, just walking around the house. So while it seems like a basic thing, it's probably the most data by volume that HealthKit is tracking.

I think you are thinking of body fat percentage. BMI is literally a function of height and weight.

It's not actually "inspect it visually." It's that they follow the visual inspection guide, which is an Apple procedure. So not as much discretion as it sounds.

Does your firewall run Linux? What technologies are used to implement its logon page? That's the kind of thing people are worried about.

You also get extensions, but they require developers to create them and I haven't been very impressed yet. The new iCloud Photos will be nice (especially on a 16GB device), but that hasn't shipped yet. Continuity will be nice, o

I think they were under a lot of pressure on the HealthKit front. That was one of their big flagship iOS 8 features, they got all these app developers to integrate it, then iOS 8 shipped and they had a showstopper bug and wouldn't rel

True. I should have said that a case will only help if it's structural. Most of them are not.
