My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

I just assumed all this time that it was a bug introduced around iOS 4 that nobody had bothered to fix.

 

It never occurred to me the reason why iOS 4's Mail app was unable to use my GApps address aliases was switching the account to Exchange.

"Weather offline" again. Hey, iOS, maybe you could switch to the nearest weather station that isn't offline, no?

 

Twitter enables localized governmental censorship

Sad to see a privately owned company feel the need to lick int'l boots.

…unless it's really a Saudi investor pushing his own agenda, in which case, fair enough, that's capitalism for you.

Related: freed up 63GB (that's sixty-three fucking gigabytes) by deleting obsolete, months-old iOS device backups (mostly my iPad, times 4).

 

I hate how SuperDuper goes all "RED! ERROR! FAIL! DOOM!" and you have to dive into the logs to find out the backup drive is just too small.

 

I think I hate how the word “disruptive” has become a positive quality.

 

Don't you love it when the 15-second pre-roll commercial has ten times the bitrate of the actual video, and spends two minutes stuttering?

Nothing says "me-too also-ran social network" like forcing people to have previously established their virtual identity elsewhere.

 

Pseudonyms coming to Google+

…if you can prove you're already famous under that name. Unbelievably convoluted bullshit.
