I attended SIGGRAPH 2005, and there was a group in the booths that had some headset you would put on that would alter your balance to make you walk in different directions. They had a video playing if someone walking with this device and bl

Glad it's here, so I no longer have to Airplay from an iOS device. But can we talk about the UI? It seems Amazon's dumped an entire web renderer into the app ( https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/93

AIM did go mobile. It was in the iPhone App Store on day 1. Push notifications didn’t even exist back then. When push notifications were announced by Apple in June 2009 as part of iPhone OS 3.0, AIM was the “partner” they used to load-test

I get the meaning of the "Cobra Effect", but I'm not understanding it here w.r.t. disabling paste on password fields.

I think the way they framed The Offer is a good one. He makes it clear that he wants you to stay if you want to stay, and is giving you a way out if you're not passionate or happy in your job anymore. Many years ago they did that at AO

To further expand on Apple's recommendation to not make Swift libraries just yet — It's also an matter of compatibility. You could certainly make a Swift framework, but given that Swift as a language is changing every 6 months or

In addition to some constraints on the type of product (i.e. watch apps have to be focused, super-quick interactions), there's another reason we haven't seen a lot of app, imo: This year was an unusually crazy year for iOS devel

Choose whatever works for you. Interface Builder can save you so much time building some of the smaller aspects of your app (help/about screens) etc. that it's foolish in my opinion to just "do away" with IB on principle

OP here. iOS 9's SFSafariViewController, unlike UIWebView or WKWebView, runs out-of-process and cannot be data-scraped. Beacause of this, SFSafariViewController shares cookies with Mobile Safari. The use-case here is essentially loadin

Do you guys have a link to the VLC app on the iOS App Store? I ask because there are so many clones it is very hard to find it. On a related note. Is there anything you can do (trademark, etc.) about getting the scammy clones off of the sto

iOS 8 added many useful APIs, but I find many are hard to use while maintaining support for iOS 7. For example: - To share code between your app and your iOS 8 extensions, you want to put them in a shared framework, something which was jus

It doesn't appear to have positional sensors (the Oculus DK2 does, with a stationary dongle to compare your relative head movements). It is very disorienting if you only have rotational support (as if your head's at the same point

100% agree with this. Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who would be great at programming but they'd never consider it because of their pre-conceived notion that they'd have to be good at math first. I've never been particu

You can always try the app. Though I'll stress that it is not a storage/backup solution for your photos. It's for creating private spaces with other people where you can share photos/videos.

Yeah, totally agree about the problem of massive, disorganized mountains of images. A lot of companies shy away from trying to solve that, because ultimately it's profoundly hard to scale it (e.g. Everpix). Loom and Everpix are the clo
