Tweetbot 1.5

⌘ Permalink

Cody Fink:

Well, it’s finally here. You asked for it — you wagged your finger about it — you hate the people you follow on Twitter so much that you don’t want to hear another peep out of them, yet deep down you don’t really want to get in one of those uncomfortable, “Why did you unfollow me!?” moments. Or maybe someone’s had a little too much caffeine and you just need a break. With Tweetbot 1.5, you can mute those pesky over-tweeters and keep meme-esque hashtags from cluttering your #pantsfree timeline. Although I hear there’s a self destruction mechanism built in if you ever mute #tweetbot.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes:

Having lived with the pain of Vista pre-SP1, I can tell you that the problems currently facing Apple with Lion are worse. Much worse.

As Lion’s install base continues to grow, apps without these types of features will feel more and more dated. Clearly, Apple recognizes this, and is pushing Mac developers toward including these new features in their applications. Doing so is good for Apple and its customers.

Enough APPL

⌘ Permalink

Dr. Drang:

It seems like every Mac-related site I visit or subscribe to is spending more time telling my how much money Apple is making and less time telling me how I can make better use of my Macs and iPhone. A little cheerleading is fine, but I don’t need to see daily stories about how Apple is dominating this sector or that. The smartphone marketshare battle with Android, for instance, has absolutely no effect on how I use my iPhone or how I live my life.

CNET:

Steve Wagstaffe, the district attorney, said in an interview today that his office will file charges against Brian Hogan, the man who allegedly found the prototype in a bar after it was left there by an Apple engineer.

Neither Gizmodo nor its parent company Gawker Media have been charged with any crime, Wagstaffe said. Nor have any of Gawker Media’s employees, including the editor whose home was raided by police armed with a search warrant.
