Alexia Tsotsis writing for Techcrunch: According to multiple sources, Twitter is on the verge of announcing its own built in Twitpic competitor. Like tomorrow, if things go according to plan (naturally this post might change that). This doesn’t come at all as a surprise to me, and I doubt it will to many others. I’veContinue reading “On Twitter Launching Its Own Photo Sharing Service”

Extracting Posts As Plain Text Files
In mid October 2010, I decided to take my weblog away from the clutches of Tumblr and move things to a more reliable platform. It was then that I found Squarespace, which thus far has proved itself as a robust, flexible and supremely reliable service that doesn’t lock-in your data. At any time I canContinue reading “Extracting Posts As Plain Text Files”
iPhone 4 And iOS Woes
I consider myself an early adopter when it comes to testing the latest software and hardware. For better or worse, this can sometimes be a terrible thing. Adopting the latest technology doesn’t come without its own pitfalls such as buggy software. Every time Apple release a new iOS update, I tend to jump on boardContinue reading “iPhone 4 And iOS Woes”
Writing For The Right Reasons
When I first started writing this weblog just a couple of years ago, I didn’t have any foresight to think about where it would take me. I started writing, for what I believe were the right reasons, to share my own unique voice on intensely nerdy subjects relating to but not exclusive to Mac andContinue reading “Writing For The Right Reasons”
The difference between how Twitter and Apple treat their developers
Something has been lingering on my mind lately regarding some pertinent issues involving Twitter and how they treat their developer community. They’ve been on a trend lately of buying out popular third party clients that access their API, for better or worse. Naturally, this has created some feelings of hostility in the development community. EvenContinue reading “The difference between how Twitter and Apple treat their developers”
Dickbar Redux
It’s amazing how in such a short period of time, a stellar Twitter client can go from the gold standard of all apps to something completely and utterly reviled. I know many other geeks, who like myself owned Loren Brichter’s Tweetie iOS app from version 1.0. Ever since Loren’s app has been acquired by TwitterContinue reading “Dickbar Redux”
OS X 10.6.7 Stability Issues?
I have a mid-2010 15 inch MacBook Pro which has been experiencing some odd stability issues lately, and the only thing I can think of that may be a factor is the latest OS update from Apple. Fully understanding that correlation does not necessarily equal causation, I’m not going to say with certainty that 10.6.7Continue reading “OS X 10.6.7 Stability Issues?”
Pixel Perfect
How do you define design and user experience obsession? I’d say an excellent indication would be if you spend hours and sometimes days toiling over what seems to be insignificant (to some) very small details. This is exactly what I have been obsessing over for the past week. Today I launched a newer minimal designContinue reading “Pixel Perfect”
Over The Air Updates with iOS
With the original introduction of FaceTime, there seemed to be an overwhelming amount of vitriol over the fact that Apple wasn’t supporting video calls over 3G. Of course there were other third party solutions at the time, like Fring which did support video over 3G. More recently though, we now have Skype with video callingContinue reading “Over The Air Updates with iOS”
Laying The Groundwork for A Better App Uninstall Process in OS X
It looks like my suspicions/hopes were correct that Apple did have plans to create some sort of iOS-like app uninstall process in OS X 10.7. Last month one of the things I discussed in great length was the much needed app uninstall process that would make things much easier for normal users. It’s not thatContinue reading “Laying The Groundwork for A Better App Uninstall Process in OS X”
