Look up UIDocumentInteractionController. It's been around a while. You can also do quite a lot with URL Schemes but more apps need to implement support and publish their requirements. There is also the X-URL-Callback spec which could b

http://brennanmke.github.io/Portfolio/ I created a basic portfolio to share on GitHub. I'd like to see more developers do that. It's quite easy to do with markdown and GitHub Pages.

If you think GitHub is just about sharing code you are missing out.

And GitHub is all about fit and culture. What makes GitHub so valuable is more than just making a lot of code available. It allows me to interact with many developers, discuss reasoning behind changes and learn from mistakes and successes.

These days an active GitHub profile gives a developer a distinct advantage. It helps them form relationships with other debs who can teach them so much, even by just reading their code and commit comments. I watch multiple projects just so

Getting active on GitHub was important to me after interviewing last year at a couple of great places. I learned I was out of sync with the developers I wanted to work with. So I got more active on GitHub by sharing code I created which I t

This is a rant. They must not have much worth sharing on GitHub. These days if I interviewed 2 developers and one had a very nice resume full of recommendations and stories about successful projects and the other developer had an active Git

Until I see an email from Apple myself I will not see this info as credible.

Yes, I think his information about Mac hardware is very outdated. Sure years ago only MacOS would run on Apple hardware but after the move to Intel chips it has been wide open.

Actually when Apple dropped the 1.4mb floppy the Zip Drive was becoming popular which was before the USB thumb drive was popular. And now people rarely use thumb drives and instead use Dropbox, Box.net, Skydrive or Google Drive. Maybe it wa

I have seen this argument applied to Dell, Microsoft, Apple and others over the years. It is really a straw man argument. Apple will not kill off old hardware just to boost new sales. Apple keeps their offerings fairly current in order to p

Wow, if BlackBerry really thinks a better browser will help them retain more customers they really don't get why people prefer iPhone and Android phones. And consulting with the HTML5 team at Facebook which just rushed to quickly rewrite th

I just do not see this working out. What I'd rather use is something like Gravatar for my address book details. People could register their address book details with email addresses, Twitter and Facebook and others could request more detail

You can also ask friends to put their contact details on Facebook and share specific details with a limited list. That's what I do. I also use iCloud to sync contacts on my iPhone automatically. I treat people who lose phone numbers even wh

Apple did what they had to do and Samsung did not just try to solve a usability problem, they willfully copied Apple even when they knew there were patents on these features. The reason Microsoft is exempt is because they licensed rights to

This is just stupid. Who copies text from one terminal to another. You are missing the entire point of the command-line and piping. This is clearly a novice who just wants easy access to X11 because he does not know how to use the command-l

I think we really need an alternative to Twitter and it could be a service which simply runs alongside Twitter. There are many features which would make Twitter a better service. One area which is a little neglected is simply having a onlin
