    The screen size looks wrong because the app is running in pillar box mode — it's only been compiled to run for 640x960 screens (i.e. iPhone 4S and older). The keyboard is iOS 6 sty…

    There is none — the title is misleading linkbait. The article only mentions Apple twice, and even then it doesn't explain what "Apple's poisonous touch" has to do with GNOME 3 bein…

    Minecraft isn't as popular as it is because it's the result of brilliantly-written Java; it sells so well because it's a brilliant concept.

    Or, if on iOS 5, just go into Settings > About and change it in there.

    The only technical limitation I can think of is the one which exists server-side. Siri has been having troubles from time-to-time with just iPhone 4S owners polling it. Imagine if …

    For some reason I didn't even consider that you could control it via normal text input, but you're obviously right as that's what Siri will eventually use after the voice-recogniti…

    It wouldn't be competing directly with Google though, would it? Siri offers a limited range of functions (currently, though this will inevitably widen as Apple makes more modules (…

    As much as I love what you said, I hate to break it to you that t_hero.png is actually named due to the fact it's the "Hero" graphic. This just refers to the fact that it's the mai…

    As a designer (and soon-to-be programmer) I totally agree that iteration is key. Iteration is so important to producing a polished product with the best possible aesthetics and exp…

    I'd hazard a guess at saying this was a 20% project and the individual is the engineer who led (or was sole member of) the project.

    It's for people who want to lend their Mac to a friend, but don't want them having access to all their already-signed in accounts, to applications like Mail, and all your files. I …

    That certainly does change the angle of my story — have you got a source for that?

    I dunno, I think they're more inspired by this: http://d.pr/dQPu

    I think it's far more likely it was rejected because it uses private APIs and takes lower-level access than App Store guidelines allow.

    I dunno, the headline is "Apple copies rejected app" not "Apple copies rejected app icon". Seems to me that people either don't know how the App Store and its requirements work, or…

    Mhm, so I don't understand why he expected anything different or why people are so outraged it was rejected — that's one of the major benefits of the App Store: sandboxing and acce…

    box-shadow is CSS3, not HTML. HTML is markup for text, CSS is formatting that text. It's not about making it only work in one browser — it's that currently these effects collective…

    Shame to see you're being poopoo'd — there are clearly huge similarities with the upcoming OS X Lion — although, to be fair to your detractors, you did pick the worst example. The …

    Works nice and smooth on iPhone 4 until you zoom in — the further you zoom in, the more jumpy it becomes.
