Dashboard Radio:

If you follow a lot of people on Tumblr who share music, this is a great way to browse, listen to, like and reblog them. Specially if you have ClickToFlash installed and you don’t want to keep loading Flash just to play the music. It’s a Safari Extension by Jeff Rock.

“Edwin Land, inventor of the Polaroid camera, once said that his method of design was to start with a vision of what you want and then, one by one, remove the technical obstacles until you have it. I think that’s what Steve Jobs does. He starts with a vision rather than a list of features.”

iOS 4 Data Protection:

duncandavidson:

Apparently, iOS 4 can take advantage of encryption hardware present in the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third generation iPod Touch. It’s on by default if you buy your device with iOS 4 installed. For hardware that came with iOS 3, you have to backup and restore to enable the feature.

On Submitting Bug Reports

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:05:00 +0800

My biggest motivation for submitting bug reports is because I love using an app and I want to continue using it. So when I encounter a bug with an app I love using, I put time and effort to articulate why I consider it a bug, why I think it’s happening and how to reproduce it. The least I expect from the makers of the app is to acknowledge that the bug exists. Some app makers go beyond that and also tell me what they plan to do about it, when and why.

So far, the makers of the following apps have gone beyond. So I’d like to thank them for keeping me happy and making me want to continue using their apps again and again.
