And it's only occurring to me now that I wouldn't need to always keep my iPad on mute if I just silenced the notifications themselves.

I love the way you can try out new tools in Paper before buying them. And it's impossible not to buy the whole bundle, because they're amazing.

“Paper: the next great iPad app, from the brains behind Courier”

Very well done and you can't go wrong with freemium.

“What Adobe’s new pricing for Flash means for game developers”

Holy shit. Milking the last drops from a dying platform?

Been struggling for years to choose a memorable keyboard shortcut for locking my screen and only today thought of setting up Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Ah ouais, tiens, mes cronjobs quotidiens se déclenchent toutes les minutes de 01:00 à 02:00.

“The Mac App Store Needs Paid Upgrades”

“Ex-OMGPOP Employee: I Believe That Zynga Is Evil”

It's funny because Draw Something is a nickel-and-diming ersatz of Charadium.

When the iPad can keep CPU+LTE running for more than 24 hours, you've got to wonder if the Retina screen is worth the cost on battery life.

Twitter has a patent pending on pull-to-refresh

Just changed my iPad wallpaper to one of these

“Design case study: iPad to Windows 8 Metro style app”

None of these UI concepts is intuitive or even discoverable.

Google Play app reviewers out-Appleing Apple

Heh.

Not liking the new layout of Pinterest profile pages. More confusing than convenient.

Looks like I should have mentioned the limited Retina update in the new Uniconsole's release notes, to get approved faster. (Unless they just look at whether there's a @2x launch screen, which I haven't made.)

When did "don't optimize your code until you really need to" become a mantra?

I definitely wasn't taught that way.

I didn't care about $AAPL when it was low, I don't congratulate myself when it's up. Filed under evidence that I'm not a fanboy.

Woke my Mac up and Sparrow, which I'd left as a sidebar-less single column, was suddenly full-width, preview pane and all. Nope.

As for the iPhone version, you just can't use an app that isn't the one which opens when you select a notification. I tried with Twitter.

Maybe it's silly that what's making me reconsider Sparrow is the ability to hide the Tweetie-like sidebar, but that's how it is.

The making of Sparrow

Sparrow (for Mac) makes a lot more sense to me when explained by its developer. Might give it another try.

I'm sure there's a reason for Apple not to buy or build its own assembly lines and component factories, but I can't figure out what it is.

Stephen Wolfram's personal analytics

Now that's a geek's geek. Wish I had the same data but can't be bothered.

Sony smartphone detects hover

The world would be different (not necessarily better) if that tech'd been available to Apple in 2007.

Zut, non seulement leurs conneries de vidéos sur le site de l'iPad me font ramer, mais il n'y a plus non plus de PNG pré-détouré à piquer, du coup.

Cancelling back from the filters screen all the way to the Instagram home screen, go through three cancel buttons in three different places.

Tsk, tsk. Pinterest refuses to send an RSS feed to my PHP script unless I fake the user agent.

“Reddit Client Alien Blue for iPad Receives Major 2.0 Update”

Good, I may not need to make my own after all.

I'm taking my Ctrl-P shortcut away from Google+ and giving it to Pinterest. #2012

Interesting choice: Pinterest doesn't suggest people to follow when you sign up, it just adds them for you and offers to unfollow them.

I have to reboot my printer between each document. Go figure. #samsung

I'd love for Readability to stop trying to be too clever with the article titles; I never know what half the articles in my list are about.

Wow, 400MB? It's time to delete iMovie from my iPhone.

The iOS update server is also unavailable now. I should probably take the hint, play it safe and wait a couple days before updating.

Well, the rumor mills have done it again. Apple introduced a Retina iPad, yet I'm disappointed because it doesn't have haptic feedback.

I figured that calling it "the new iPad" precluded keeping the iPad 2 as an entry point, but no, they're not afraid of making no sense.

I don't care how much prettier the new iPad makes Infinity Blade, it still doesn't have sticks and buttons.

The iPhone 4s's camera shooting 1080p with the overall heft of an iPad and an integrated 10-inch preview screen, now that's filmmaking material.

Every time I open the Readability app I want to throw out all the work I've done on my RSS reader's interface.

Dear tech blog: if you're rushing to post articles with only a title and "Developing…", you're an asshole and I will burn your place down.

"Live coverage begins in your local timezone at: Wednesday, March 7 at 7:00 pm" — gdgt showing once more how it's done.

I've tried putting some linen in my new app where it made sense, for consistency's sake, but no matter what I do it's just too ugly.

Does the Dropbox app for iPad really not let you view an image full-screen? How am I supposed to check my interface mockups?

My name idea for the next app is so good that the domain name is available, even though it's just two simple words. Wait. Maybe I meant bad.

Damn you, UTF-32. Damn all your bytes to hell.

Last night I used my home-made Google Reader client for iPad for the first time in months, and I realized I like it again.

Damnit, I'd really like someone to tell me where I misplaced my old Beware The Frog scripts. Don't wanna relearn ImageMagick from scratch.

Today for the first time in my life I've defined an object class in PHP.

Sérieusement, il y a deux apps de signalement de radars dans le top 10 français des apps iPhone ?

Taking out my Twitter page's background. Really can't stand having it show up for ten seconds every time I go to someone else's page.

“Facebook debuts enormous ads to users logging out of the site”

That's actually a pretty damn interesting idea.

Hey, Facebook: if you want people to use Pages as their main PR hub, how about you stop compressing images so horribly?

Si l'iPad 3 est haptique à coups de décharges électriques, je vais avoir besoin d'une chambre à Paris dans dix jours, parce que je veux toucher ça.

The App Store front page seems to consistently crash my iPad. The 25-billion countdown, presumably. Nicely done, Apple QA.

I love having a Readability bookmarklet that sends articles to my Kindle, but I wish they were automatically archived in my Reading List.

I'd really like to know what Instagram does that it can have the upload progress bar slowly reach completion, then tell me "Failed."

Ah, tap the article to show the toolbar. So, two taps as well. Still worse than Instapaper, though, because the animation adds a delay.

Well, scratch that. The UX to archive a document after reading it is even more cumbersome in Readability than Instapaper's stupid popup. FFS, there are TWO things you do most often in a read-later app: 1) read; 2) archive.

Anyway I'm glad someone's finally doing the read-later thing mostly right, so people will stop overlooking how flawed the Instapaper app is.

How does the Readability app access my Twitter account without OAuth? (It's not using the iOS 5 account either, there would be a system prompt.)
