    Yeah, we tried this on our product forums and it didn't really help at all. :(

    I'm very curious too! If it takes anything more than a day to get an app review, this tool is going to be pretty useless for us. :( I've submitted an update to our app to external …

    I assumed the fridge was more about "make sure the microphone can't pick up anything from outside" than blocking radio signals.

    You should only really use "auto" when the type is clear (like in your example #2). If it's not clear, you should probably specify the type so that it's more obvious what's going o…

    Every new story about this makes Mt. Gox look worse. Now they're not even competent enough to steal them or have them stolen, they just lost a hundred million dollars?
