Ita is a brand new list-making app that’s designed to make it fast and simple to collect and organize information. You can drag items to rearrange them, tap to mark items completed, and add multiple items quickly, all from the main list view. If you make lists, you’ll love how fast Ita makes it to collect and complete your stuff.

This is the MAS as I see it: It is not for utility apps or power users. Apps like 1Password, TextExpander and Keyboard Maestro should all be purchased directly from the developers site.1 The MAS is for people afraid of using a computer. I applaud Apple for taking the fear out of technology. I also will not purchase my utilities from the MAS. Apple may be happy to have the nerds along for the ride, but they are not their target market. Normal people that just want to use a few apps and don’t care about tweaking their experience are Apple’s new target demographic.
Why wouldn’t AT&T try yet another plan to screw it’s users?
It also appears that the new version does work with Apple’s sandboxing.

With today’s release of iOS 6 Beta 3 to developers, Apple has revealed in the update’s change log that it is beginning the first stages of transitioning users from the me.com email addresses and Apple IDs available under MobileMe to new addresses using icloud.com.
Sigh.

The touch experience isn’t great from my own testing on Windows 8 Release Preview, and it feels all too familiar to Windows 7 — a first stab at touch improvements on desktop software. Microsoft’s Office division has taken a similar approach, by increasing touch targets, but it seems that any truly touch-optimized versions of Office will come as Metro style apps, if anything at all. It’s clearly difficult to create a fully functional touch-based word processor or spreadsheet with legacy support, and Microsoft hasn’t cracked it yet.
It’s a little inside baseball, but here’s how PJ got my fancy linked list arrow things working in CSS.
I’ve heard this date as well.
Did you know that starting in the early 1960s up until 1984, the Soviet Union landed probes on Venus?
This website isn’t my full-time job, but I’d like it to be one day.
My podcast coupled with my writing here (and elsewhere) brings in significant amount of money each month, but it’s not enough to support my family at this point. If I were single, perhaps it would work, but with a mortgage, two cars, two kids and a cat, things add up. (I’m not complaining, mind you, because my family is awesome.)
The IT manager in me is cowering in the corner, weeping.
