On OS X’s ‘Missing’ Redesign
Earlier today, John Gruber tweeted:
Ive and his team completely remake Mac OS X next year, right?
When I saw that scroll by in Tweetbot, I realized something. Look at these two pieces of art, both from Apple’s website:
Before the WWDC keynote, based solely on this art — which was hanging as banners in Moscone’s lobby — it wouldn’t have been crazy to think that OS X was getting a new coat of paint, just like its mobile brother was rumored to receive.

On AMB and Knowing When to Quit⇢
Peter Cohen, writing about leaving his podcast, Angry Mac Bastards:
But a while ago I realized something: AMB had stopped being fun for me to do. It had begun to feel like work. Like drudgery. I’d just lost my energy doing the show, and I was tired of hearing myself yell. I figured if I was tired of hearing myself yell, others probably were too. And that seemed like as good a reason as any to step away from the mic.
RSS Sponsor: Tokens for Mac⇢
Tokens is a Mac app for managing App Store promo codes
Tokens gets promo codes from iTunes Connect, creates shareable URLs for each code and notifies you once they’re redeemed.
The first step to getting your app noticed is inviting bloggers to try it. Promo codes let you give away free copies of your app, but unfortunately they’re laborious to create, awkward to redeem and impossible to track.
With Tokens you create a code with one click and bloggers can redeem it just as easily. By naming the token you can tell who has tried your app and follow up with them. You can also reuse any unredeemed codes before they expire.
Obama’s Betrayal⇢
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, to CNN:
Edward Snowden is one of us. Bradley Manning is one of us. They are young, technically minded people from the generation that Barack Obama betrayed. They are the generation that grew up on the Internet, and were shaped by it.
Assange has put in to words something I’ve been mulling over since news broke that Snowden was being charged by the US government for theft, conversion of government property and espionage.
