    Photos will be replacing iPhoto and Aperture: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/27/aperture-development-sto... I believe Adobe has already released a plugin to import your Aperture …

    I read more into it and you're right; they posted the comic, then posted a passive-aggressive "apology" comic, then started selling the shirts. They took down the shirts and apolog…

    Saying you're sorry then putting out a goddamn tshirt with a reference to a rape joke isn't an apology.

    I have not used the site either, but from what I've read, the best idea is to use the name of a previous tenant, and to stick with domestic. If the parcel is sent via USPS First-Cl…

    For me apps like this can fall into habitual use, almost approaching muscle memory, e.g. checking e-mail/Twitter.

    My understanding of it is that they're working within the constraints of WebKit in iOS. Developers aren't able to update the icon in realtime, but if you have a homescreen webapp i…

    You're taking this way too seriously. Please, read the review. My interpretation is that it's Marco poking fun at Siracusa.

    I've been using Chrome in iOS since it went on the App Store yesterday, and so far not being able to set it as my default browser doesn't seem to be holding me back too much. It re…

    Well, I stand (somewhat) corrected!

    It looks like this person put a lot of thought into how text editing could be improved in iOS, and the video is well-made. However, a great feature of the iOS keyboard is that if y…

    With the claims of using "dramatic license," it sounds like he's trying to have it both ways, especially since he was on Real Time with Bill Maher recently, and a lot of these thin…

    I can't get behind this mindset. First off, who are you to say that these sorts of devices don't enrich people's lives? For this conversation, I'll concede that tablets are largely…

    Funny enough, I just saw an app for Android that does this: http://lifehacker.com/#!5599116/how-to-turn-your-android-pho... (God I hate LH's new design)

    You also can't predict whether the phones you're considering will get updated to newer versions of Android. I got burned by this when Froyo came out three months after I got a phon…

    Two completely different services. Instapaper will bookmark articles to read later, and cut out everything except the text. One downside is that it doesn't seem to be able to handl…

    The livestream has only buffered for me once. Other than that it's been flawless. Very impressive.

    60% is 2.1, however, and both of these new Android features are only supported in 2.2. I have an Eris that went on sale less than a year ago, and chances are my phone will never be…

    I noticed you were downvoted with the quickness, and I think I know one of the reasons why: "People calling it 'gorgeous' are fan boys sorely in denial." A difference in opinion do…

    While they're at it they need to break down voice plans a little further, too. I believe it was Dan Hesse that said he noticed people were using the phone part of their smartphone …

    Unfortunately the 4.0 software update isn't planned to be released for the iPad until the Fall. Which is frustrating to say the least as I would rather have multitasking on the iPa…
