The screen size looks wrong because the app is running in pillar box mode — it's only been compiled to run for 640x960 screens (i.e. iPhone 4S and older). The keyboard is iOS 6 styled because the app hasn't been…

There is none — the title is misleading linkbait. The article only mentions Apple twice, and even then it doesn't explain what "Apple's poisonous touch" has to do with GNOME 3 being almost universally disliked — or as…
Minecraft isn't as popular as it is because it's the result of brilliantly-written Java; it sells so well because it's a brilliant concept.
Or, if on iOS 5, just go into Settings > About and change it in there.
The only technical limitation I can think of is the one which exists server-side. Siri has been having troubles from time-to-time with just iPhone 4S owners polling it. Imagine if all iPhone 4 (and even 3GS) owners were…
For some reason I didn't even consider that you could control it via normal text input, but you're obviously right as that's what Siri will eventually use after the voice-recognition software is used. This totally…
It wouldn't be competing directly with Google though, would it? Siri offers a limited range of functions (currently, though this will inevitably widen as Apple makes more modules (and possibly opens it up to third…
As much as I love what you said, I hate to break it to you that t_hero.png is actually named due to the fact it's the "Hero" graphic. This just refers to the fact that it's the main splash image of the page.[1] You can…
>It would seem a full 50% of gruber's readers replaced their ipad's with the ipad 2. What does Gruber have to do with this? Do you mean Marco?
>I hope that iOS 5's OTA updates we could get to the point where iOS versions older than a few months are considered obsolete. While a very nice idea, I'm not convinced it much will change due to old hardware being…
As a designer (and soon-to-be programmer) I totally agree that iteration is key. Iteration is so important to producing a polished product with the best possible aesthetics and experience. However, I really do not agree…
I'd hazard a guess at saying this was a 20% project and the individual is the engineer who led (or was sole member of) the project.
It's for people who want to lend their Mac to a friend, but don't want them having access to all their already-signed in accounts, to applications like Mail, and all your files. I suppose places with public-usage Macs…
That certainly does change the angle of my story — have you got a source for that?
I dunno, I think they're more inspired by this: http://d.pr/dQPu
I think it's far more likely it was rejected because it uses private APIs and takes lower-level access than App Store guidelines allow.
I dunno, the headline is "Apple copies rejected app" not "Apple copies rejected app icon". Seems to me that people either don't know how the App Store and its requirements work, or they're just want to be outraged at…
Mhm, so I don't understand why he expected anything different or why people are so outraged it was rejected — that's one of the major benefits of the App Store: sandboxing and access restrictions of apps. Yeah, as far…
Mhm. And the fact that he produced the first public implementation of this means that Apple isn't allowed to implement their own version — never mind the fact that such a feature requires lower level control than the…
box-shadow is CSS3, not HTML. HTML is markup for text, CSS is formatting that text. It's not about making it only work in one browser — it's that currently these effects collectively (as Arnorhs points out, this isn't…
Shame to see you're being poopoo'd — there are clearly huge similarities with the upcoming OS X Lion — although, to be fair to your detractors, you did pick the worst example. The new Application Launcher looks exactly…
Works nice and smooth on iPhone 4 until you zoom in — the further you zoom in, the more jumpy it becomes.
