After years of living in areas unserved by FiOS, I finally got it in 2011. My 35/35 Mbps plan is by far the best internet connection I’ve ever had. Looks like I’ll be able to upgrade it t...
From today’s episode of Amplified, Jim Dalrymple’s podcast on 5by5: [30:39] Dan: Is there any chance that Apple’s going to can the Mac Pro? Jim: No. [4 seconds of silence] Dan: OK...
Cult of Mac posted screenshots of the WWDC app. The same visual style is also in the purported iOS 6 Maps photos. I’d love to see a modern refresh of the iPhone UIKit widget styling. The blue-g...
Information Architects arguing against the pervasive third-party “share” buttons that publishers and bloggers vomit all over their post headers and footers: Or do you seriously think that...
Great article from Dan Frommer on the not-very-subtle hints that Tim Cook dropped last night. Within a year, I’d expect an Apple TV set, Facebook integration in iOS 6 and Mountain Lion, and the...
People always ask me how they can make great coffee. I’ve never had a good universal answer. The real answer is to get an expensive grinder1 and an inexpensive AeroPress, then brew freshly roas...
Regular, light running is the best way to keep your body fit. Go Couch to 5k is the perfect app to get you off the sofa and introduce you to the world of running. It shows animated (near) real-time s...
Great article by Guy English. A big one I’d add: Apple’s software quality is declining. I’m not just talking about the most recent releases of everything, or the last couple of mont...
Rene Ritchie goes into great detail with excellent mockups of what apps may look like in 16:9 on the rumored taller-screened iPhone. I still don’t like it. Video looks better in landscape, but ...
The Mac Pro seems like a ridiculous computer in the age of quad-core laptops. Even I thought so when I switched to a MacBook Pro last fall. But I had some major issues that have only been partially r...
Bob Sullivan reporting on the radical pricing strategy implemented by former Apple Retail head Ron Johnson: No more coupons or confusing multiple markdowns. No more 600 sales a year. No more deceptiv...
John Gruber gets the story about this App Store removal of a very good app from our friends at Rogue Amoeba. After some interesting back-and-forth with a few informed sources, I think Apple’s removal...
Nick Bradbury: The startup culture is similar to professional sports in that it requires a fleet of fresh-out-of-college kids to trade their lives and their health for the potential of short-term glo...
Huge update: So, you code for the web. And in Coda 1, we revolutionized that process, and put everything you needed in one place. An editor. Terminal. CSS. File management. SVN. But we knew we could ...
I’ve known about this for about a week (thanks, various Twitter and email tips). I wouldn’t be surprised if offline support showed up in iOS 6, too. It’s a glaring feature omission,...
Newton Academy is a revolutionary school training students for careers developing apps for iPhone and iPad. Apple is selling more than 500,000 of these magical devices every day. The App Economy is s...

Speaking of ways I recently said things that were easier than writing, on today’s podcast, Dan and I discussed Flattr, API versioning, web frameworks, and my formerly secret App Store experimen...
On The Verge’s bizarre combination is a lot of fun: extremely geeky topics, hosts, and guests with a well-funded late-show format. ∞ Permalink
Their findings support Bare Feats’: this looks like a great option for Mac Pro owners. ∞ Permalink
I like the proposed <picture> markup except for the tag name. “Picture” is much more specific than “image”, and I bet a very large portion of images used on the web are ...
Work isn’t a place – it’s what you do. And you might work on a lot of devices – a Mac, an iPhone, an iPad – in a lot of places. You might work on the road or maybe from home (with your Ae...
The AeroPress recipe (really) at the World AeroPress Championship (yes, really) that took home the Gold AeroPress (these are all real things) this year is remarkably simple. I tried it, and the resul...
9to5 Mac posted a rumor about the next 15” MacBook Pro being in a much thinner (but not wedge-shaped) case, having a Retina display of an unspecified resolution, and having USB 3 ports. It soun...
This week’s podcast: the new 5by5 Radio app, why Apple may not want to add paid upgrades to the App Store, the infinite market for podcast clients and to-do apps, Instacast’s in-app-purch...
I should pack the audience full of my friends so fewer Android fans can pelt me with crappy phones. ∞ Permalink
Good. This is the right move. ∞ Permalink
I gave some quotes for this article on why artificial, skeuomorphic pagination is still desirable on modern digital touch content. ∞ Permalink
Update: Adobe changed their mind and will patch CS5. Good. What an awful move by Adobe: Adobe released a security upgrade for Adobe Photoshop CS5 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh. This upgrade a...
David Smith’s iOS version stats from his apps: The data for 4 days shows a clear and very consistent progression. Users are updating at a rate of roughly 7.5%/day, leading to a total adoption o...
