Just in time for Apple to patch iOS 7.1 ahead of its release. What a waste (unless it's been already patched in 7.1 beta and this is the last chance for this to be used by someone).

So, if I — hypothetically — see Spike Lee driving my stolen car, I should stay quiet because it's not Spike's issue?

Spike Lee is very much the right addressee. He posted Garcia's original comps (not the final poster) on his Facebook. The images had "©2013 Spike Lee" slapped on them. These images are not in this article, but were on JG&#x27

"No, the primary reason is that IDs prevent reuse." The fact that they cannot be reused in a single page is what makes IDs so useful. There are benefits of IDs others mentioned, but for me properly used IDs make CSS so much cleare

This hire is a more natural fit than most techies would think. The genius of Jobs was that he understood better than others that personal tech had more to do with fashion industry than tech industry. He run Apple as a fashion company: he s

I really don't like the idea of the Playlist-driven interface forcing itself in front. I have no use for Playlist, why do I have to see it, ever? Even when I launch a file from Finder, I get a split-second blink of the Playlist. And wh

He doesn't get that iTunes is not a media player, but a music and video shop sneakily embedded in your computer. Media player functionality is only added there to lure you in so you would buy content from Apple. Obviously, Apple doesn&

Paypal is a turnoff for many customers. I've met people who will not use it no matter what and will quote the popular horror stories. Braintree seems ok-ish but has a €100 minimum monthly fee. Paymill seems to be just fine but has some

As a natural extension of a welfare state paradigm, children are property of the state and parents are merely temporarily assigned guardians. In Germany and Norway, children are taken from their families on a decision of a social worker, no

You're saying "placebo effect" like it's a bad thing. Many doctors agree placebo is a powerful drug, and a component of every type of pill administered to a conscious person. Even a consultation with a doctor can have a
