    Too late to edit anyways, but we're both right on this one. SCSS is a Sass syntax. ".scss" and ".sass" are both Sass files. Their docs tend to name the languages in titlecase, and …

    Part of the iPad's experience, and part of its success, is that it shares a common language with the iPhone. Removing the home button removes part of the easy transition from one d…
