Reeder for Mac

Reeder for Mac was released this week and I’m happy to report that it’s a thing of pure beauty if you haven’t already, download it here. This is really the first mac application I have seen that marries both the OS X and iOS interfaces, perfectly, it’s heavy iOS inspired but still manages to feel at home in it’s OS X surroundings. When Apple announced that they...

Sync backups with transmit 4

Recently I’ve been looking at ways to backup some of my documents and photos online. There’s a number of options out there, dropbox .mac and backblaze to name a few but it seemed a little crazy to shell out cash for someone to host my files on a server when I’m already paying web hosts to do exactly the same thing. I needed a way to sync files over ftp and it needed to be...

Farewell Boagworld Podcast

If you have never heard of Boagworld before now I’m afraid that you have missed out, the weekly podcast was one of my main sources of web related news. Recently I have dropped behind a couple of episode so have only just found out that the show has been cancelled. Its a massive shame but I’m sure they had their reasons, so I guess it’s time to move on. So far my replacements are...

Techi take on iPhone 4 signal issue

Below is Techi take on how to solve the iPhone 4 signal issue. As for the death grip, the official fix is still to just buy a bumper (which reportedly doesn’t work as well as Apple would hope) or, as Big Steve says, ‘hold it differently’. I’m gonna start holding phones upside down. Start a trend. It’ll be like playing on Expert Mode, and I just kind of have to guess what the other guy’s saying....

Dear Microsoft, Please Use WebKit →

webkitbits: Article on Drawar: Imagine the headaches Microsoft would get rid of by using WebKit. No longer could we blame IE for our development headaches. We could test a site in IE, Chrome or Safari and there is a good chance if it works in one that it will work in the other two. That sounds like bliss to me. There’s one point I’d like to add to this argument: Standardizing on a...

I have the first shattered iPad screen

Public Service announcement. What you are about to see, will both shock and horrify you. Our Thoughts Are with You Luke Edgar Seeley lukees: I was watching Netflix on my iPad while preparing dinner. I had it propped up on the stand that comes with the Incase Neoprene Sleeve Plus. Just to be clear, the “Plus” stands for “Plus it comes with a free stand that doesn’t work”. So I’m watching 30...

Jquery: Novice to Ninja, first impressions

I’m currently learning jQuery with the help of the new book from Sitepoint novice to ninja. I’m loving the book so far and it’s definitely helping me understand the world of jQuery but as a complete noob to this library I’m finding the the book is skipping over some of the basics. For example I have just started to animate a nice navigation menu using CSS Properties, the...

The iPad and Flash

The iPad and Mr Jobs will not kill Flash video embedding, as much as I would like to say the opposite, sorry Steve it’s just not going to happen. HTML 5 is ace but just being able to embed videos isn’t going to cut it, what about pre rolling adverts and interactive content, big companies aren’t just going to leave this sort of stuff behind because one device doesn’t...

Is the fold really dead?

This post by Sam Brown on Twitter earlier today got me thinking. Sure it’s easy to say “There is no fold” but could modern browsers help the fold make a come back? (shiver) A lot of modern browsers seem to be adding a feature where users can see a snapshot of selected websites upon opening there browsers. Safari call it top sites, Opera Speed Dial and google Most visited....
