If you install this, the messaging tab in the primary Facebook app now just switches you to the Messenger app. What a weird choice. I decided to uninstall Messenger, I like being able to chat while browsing other Facebook pages.

As a flat design proponent (I suppose[1]), there's no reason all apps without textures need to look the same (see [1]). [1] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/svpply/id516820047?mt=8 See also: Layervault, A

NJ Transit and the LIRR are heavy rail (as are the subway and the PATH train).

Men can wear the same OCBD with shorts or with a casual suit, I don't think there's really a formality gap issue in menswear.

You should, there's lots of vanity sizing nonsense going on. For example, a 3sixteen ST-100x in size 30 is actually a 31 inch waist, and it will stretch about another inch! http://www.3sixteen.com/collections/homepage/products/st100x...

Uh, is that a direct copy of the iOS "share" icon?

Is there an edition of Grid Systems with just English for, uh, half the price? I don't think I need a copy in German as well.

IRT trains can run on BMT/IND tracks, but you'd have to jump off them if they stopped at a station.

The Time Out NY app is fantastic. As in this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/time-out-new-york-for-ipad/i... So what's the deal with the horrible magazine one?

Don't use "RT". Use proper retweeting.

Well, when TF2 came out, it was laser focused. Every class had a role, and was strong and weak against certain other classes. So now, you throw a bunch of new items, and it loses that. The sniper is weak to spies, that's how it's supposed t

I am a little skeptical of the platform portability. A high quality application has a lot of UI code. Then, if you're Doing It Right, on iOS, you're probably going to use Core Data and/or iCloud for backend storage. For networking, you ne

What's the point of Cocoapods instead of just using a submodule? Git already has a native way to handle subprojects, and adding an extra external dependency and gitignoring the results (I guess) feels dirty.

Text on rMBP at "1920x1200": http://i.imgur.com/FAemY.png I figure that what it does it use the actual rendered pixel grid for subpixel calculations.

I use the retina MBP at "1920x1200", which wasn't available on any 15" MacBook previously. I do wish this was the "native" resolution though. "1440x900" is comically large.

The Facebook Camera app still hasn't been updated for the iPhone 5. Too bad, because it's an incredible app, much nicer than Instagram (which isn't horrible or anything).

Does anyone else have an issue with "Message Send Failure" for almost every text message (not iMessage)? Wondering if this fixed that.

What's with the categories? They don't seem to be used in either of the primary .m files (cmd+f "mtl"), so they aren't really needed. Do one thing well. If you want to make a higher order function library, that's fine, but I don't see what

Contacts, Notes, and Calendar are also Apple apps, and, well, yeah. However, everything that Panic makes is incredible in both quality and Mac-ness. I use Transmit and love it, didn't think of it when making that list since it's not somethi

I don't like that they ported the aesthetic. I'm not a fan of it to begin with, especially on iPad, but at least there it gets to take over the entire screen. On the desktop, the apps I use most of the time[1] still look like Mac apps, so t

Interesting. I hope that this doesn't become Sim Suburbia. The lack of "subway"/"rapid transit" (just "rail" and "streetcar") is worrying. Hopefully larger buildings won't be surrounded by parking lots - streets in the city (besides 14th, 3

Embark is pretty good but it doesn't solve the "what's the fastest way from this random location in SoHo to Port Authority" problem. I can tap on two stations and find the fastest way between them, but Google would tell me which option to t

You should weigh the PATH train negatively, favoring the F/M trains instead (unless you're going to Hoboken).

Typing "21st and 6th" gives me an alert that says "no results found". I am about 500 feet from 21st and 6th. Other intersections have jumped me to Texas and South Carolina. I can't believe this is something they're actually going to release
