I did read the article. Sorry, I conflated pinch-zoom with double-tap zooming. facepalm

How about we instead stop turning off page zooming on mobile sites. The least of my concerns here is the stupid 300ms lag, when it seems like 80% of mobile sites these days don't e…

Sure, if taste is not at all a factor. But since we're human beings, it is a factor. It's "easy" unless you are someone who is repulsed completely by the taste of most vegetables. …

I posted a very similar reply to a post a couple of days ago linking to the same article (uh..see EDIT below, this is slightly different article), submitted by the same person, who…

I wish they would/could also include Snow Leopard in this comparison. I lost about 20-30% of my battery life after upgrading to Lion, so the further reduction seems pretty horrible…

It's one thing for suppliers to leak info on hardware they are supplying, but I'm sure Apple doesn't give inside information such as pricing strategy to them. It's BS. And the fact…

Yeah, Digitimes is notorious for being completely wrong about Apple's plans. #1 and #2 are fair points, in light of the fact that the iPhone completely cannibalized the iPod market…

Well, typically Apple just sells all of the stock of their current Macs when they are about to release a new model. The rumor mill usually kicks into high gear around the time all …

I don't think that's competing on price first, I think that's a graceful and inexpensive way to increase market share in a very competitive mobile environment. From everything I've…

I'd hardly call the 64 GB in the $999 model "massive". I still know a lot of people who won't make the switch to an Air due to the lack of an optical drive, and reducing the alread…

I don't buy it, and this article doesn't really make a strong case for it either. If the MB Air is a strong seller (and by all accounts it is), what sense does it make for Apple to…

Mysteriously, AT&T changed their plans very shortly after Apple announced iMessage. Obviously they foresaw a lot of people downgrading their plans so they just did away with the ti…

I worked at BB for a year back in the day. I can say that the blue shirt employees were only good for 2 things: attaching overpriced high-margin peripherals/cables to sales, and pu…

Yeah, I was wondering how they would have let something like this slip through. I figure either a) they weren't aware of the exploit (unlikely, but possible...Draw Something, while…

That's very strange. My girlfriend's iPhone 4 handles it just fine.

Heh, which I find myself doing frequently. Every time I get to the point where there are no "easy" choices for words to draw, I find myself force-quitting the app, relaunching, and…

Sounds like on the new iPad the max has further increased to 4096x4096

The max texture size has been 2048x2048 since the 3GS

Agreed. I've had to use factories in Obj-C plenty. I guess the argument that I would make is that they are much easier to implement in Obj-C and require less boilerplate (especiall…

This may be a nitpick, but how can something be "fairly deterministic"? Is it possible for there to be degrees of determinism? I would consider determinism to binary, either someth…

It'd be nice if the author of the story would point out how Instapaper is different than Business Insider, in that the content it "harvests" is content that the user must first see…

You mean like how the competition has caught up with the iPad? Oh, wait... edit: Also, they've been selling the iPhone 4 for a long time now, it has sold better than all of the pre…

This old chestnut. First, before I get started on the piracy bit, there are a few things in this article that are cliche and offputting. The minute I saw these things, I was immedi…
