I spent a good amount of time over the weekend reading Aaron Swartz’s blog, shortly after his untimely passing. In short, I never new him, and so I don’t want to rehash everything that’s been said, but judging by what I’ve read, he was a brilliant person. So I leave you with a few blog…
Apparently 4 years ago today I decided to try my hand at Objective-C. Gonna work on an iPhone app, hopefully I can master the fine ways of Objective C. — Joe Fabisevich 🐶🐳™ (@mergesort) April 29, 2009
I’m only going to make one prediction for WWDC this year, and it’s one that probably won’t be verifiable for a bit of time. With that in mind, I’ll just leave this here. I think iOS 7 is the OS that we’ll be able to look back on and say this is where it started…
The idea of a continuous client is something that has sent nerds’ hearts a flutter for a long time. No matter what device you pick up, you’ll have an up to date conversation log. Now that Apple has released a beta of their Messages (formerly iChat) app, iMessage is more accessible than ever. (iMessage is…

I figure, might as well get these on the record, and afterwards we can all laugh at how wrong I am. The Mac It’s dead. Just kidding, it’s being revitalized. As for all the retina rumors, I suspect we’re going to go back to three lines of Mac notebooks. A Macbook Air, the entry level…

iOS 6 ends up bringing a lot of interesting new features to the regular user, and looking over the API differences, not a lot on the developer side of things. iOS 5 was a gigantic leap for developers, starting with ARC, Storyboards, and a bajillion1 APIs opened up. I’m willing to bet that this is…
Four years ago today, the Apple App Store launched, changing the face of software distribution. Anyone from a curious 13-year old to a grizzled developer who lived through learning Pascal can release an app and hope to strike gold. Even Apple’s own operating systems are distributed with this model now. I distinctly remember my first…
I posed a question earlier today about Apple’s new iPad mini pricing. Is there anyone who would have bought the iPad at 299thatwouldn′tpurchaseitat299 that wouldn’t purchase it at 299thatwouldn′tpurchaseitat329? My guess is no. There are reasons such as brand/price perception, the supposed $299 psychological barrier, and more that I don’t want to really cover, so…
