Farewell to one of Apple’s weirdest accessories.

Evolution of the Scrollbar⇢
Note that OS X’s scrollbars behave more like NeXTSTEP’s than OS 8’s.
Drafted⇢
No ones wants to be in the battle, but once you are, you can’t help but fight your ass off.
Better Camera to Dropbox Uploading⇢
This app makes my whole Dropbox/Hazel/photo thing even more automatic. I just wish it could delete photos from my Camera Roll once I imported them to Dropbox.
The We of Cancer
When Josiah was diagnosed, our small church rallied around us. For months, we didn’t buy groceries, do our laundry or keep up with cleaning. I’d come home in the middle of the night from the hospital to find a clean apartment and a full fridge, often with an encouraging note, gift card or check on the kitchen counter.

As many of you know, my pal Federico Viticci who runs MacStories was diagnosed with cancer a while back. He’s just gotten scan results, and has a ways to go in his fight with his disease. Just reading replies to him on Twitter is more than enough to make me swell with pride from the support the broader Nerd Community is giving him in this time.
On the iOS 6 Menu Bar⇢
Sometimes with Apple, I’ll disagree with a change but understand it. That’s not the case this time. I really can’t wrap my head around why the company did this.
‘Pure Genius’⇢
Brett was kind enough to let me join him on episode 11 of his excellent podcast, Systematic, over on 5by5. We talked about Apple hardware, blogging software and more.
The 512 Podcast 032: ‘The One Where Stephen Hangs Up’⇢
This week on the 512 Podcast, Myke and I fight the Evil Forces of Skype to discuss App.net apps, the iPhone 5 and RIM’s new music video.
Thanks to Squarespace and Drafts for making this week’s show possible.
Hey, St. Jude⇢
Aaaaaaaand I’m crying in my office.
Darth Vader’s iPhone⇢
Jason Snell, in his excellent iPhone 5 review:
If the white-and-silver iPhone 5 is Gandalf’s iPhone, the black-and-slate model is Darth Vader’s.
Sponsor: Scratch for iPhone⇢
Great ideas need to be captured immediately. Scratch for iPhone cuts through the barriers of note taking and gives you a clean slate to get your idea down fast. You don’t have to come up with a title or navigate a long list of notes. Just open Scratch, type, and worry about it later. Scratch remembers everything so you don’t have to.
Once you’re ready to work with the note, Scratch gives you the options you need to move the text where it belongs: Dropbox, email, your favorite text editor or just about anywhere else.
Just like any other app, really...⇢

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt told reporters that his company needs Apple’s approval before it could bring its Google Maps app back to the iPhone.
