Re: My Favorite iOS 4-Ready Apps and "Subtle Changes"

My winning quick-app combination... http://img.ly/1ywL

Just waiting on Last.fm now. I'm also curious if app devs who had to employ their own browser will add in options to quick-switch to Safari?

I *like* it :) Though I would like to see Borange come to the UK. That was the kind of social diary app I was looking for.

Re: Compartments, Simple Home Inventory. Review & Giveaway!

CannonGod — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:04:12 -0000

I'm about to move house and have been looking at Delicious Library 2 to keep an inventory of my stuff while I choose what to keep/throw. This looks like a nice quick alternative to take quick snaps and hopefully supports OpenMeta tagging for search across my Mac using Finder.

Site seems to be under a lot of strain right now. Can't understand why ;¬)

Nice itinerary embedding done in the GeekTool style :)

Others might be interested in trying out DateLine. Embeds in a similar way, but slightly more graphical than this.

Also, any news on when Newsprint might get Push Notifications? Would be nice to get pinged when (say) a Starred feed updates :¬)

Re: Newsprint Available: Review and Giveaway.

Initial play around with Newsprint is very promising, and the interface is as good as I hoped. My only bugbear is that any feeds deleted aren't synced with Google Reader. Instead, every time I reopen Newsprint it resyncs my feeds and undoes all my hard work ^_^*

Sure - it protects one from accidentally deleting feeds (by swiping) but I want sync to work both ways, not one way. Still loving it though :¬)

I haven't been properly into mobile RSS for a while, it's all Twitter and Twitter SMS updates right now. Practically living in Tweetie2, this looks similar in design and should allow for easy cross over.

Tbh, I'm already going to be buying this. I'm a sucker for neat/tidy/functional UI design + sweet icon to boot! :¬)

Re: Liquid Scale Winners Announced

CannonGod — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:39:32 -0000

@Scott Karlins, if you select the 'Featured' tab in the iPhone App Store then scroll to the bottom of the 'New' list, there should be a 'Redeem' thing you can click on. Enter code there ;¬)

Re: Liquid Scale Winners Announced

CannonGod — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 17:29:07 -0000

Cheers guys! Though my code won't work because I hail from the UK :¬p

I'm not fussed to give mine away to another runner-up :¬)

Re: Protect Your Mac Files, Folders and Apps with Espionage. Review and Giveaway.

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:14:53 -0000

Hahaha - I just encrypted the keychain with the encryption password inside! (Schrödinger would be proud) I then sync'd that up on Dropbox and backed it up using Arq XD

Now if someone steals my machine I can delete the Dropbox file and backup a new machine from Arq using my old keychain. The moment the criminal tries to log onto the internet it will sync and delete the keychain. Obviously a new 1password master password will re-encrypt all my login passwords - and my online accounts are safe :)

*cackles to self*

This is handy because it saves on the whole index being scuppered, and on time encrypting/decrypting certain folders. Interested to know if you can apply this to Smart Folders as I like to tag documents, and would like to see anything appropriately tagged encrypted by proxy :)

I'm a bit late to the party so I probably won't be tweeting about it (unless I guess I win). Personally I'm going to give the trial a whirl and if it offers a good experience I'll get my payment in before March :)

Re: Win A Copy of Pastebot for iPhone

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:44:31 -0000

I already have it and highly recommend to others. So nice being able to copy a mass of photos on my iPhone and copy/paste onto my Mac desktop for sharing/editing/archiving.

If only everything was wirelessly sync'd (I'm looking at YOU iTunes)...

Re: An Early Review of Square, The Revolution in Payments.

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:41:49 -0000

@Cody Fink, The point is we could be moving away from needing a card of any sort. I can pay by my mobile or iPhone as long as I have my PayPal PIN :)

Re: An Early Review of Square, The Revolution in Payments.

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:31:30 -0000

But seriously though, why can't places accept PayPal?

I want to be able to walk into a store without my wallet, exchange emails and make a payment. A veritable Credit Card in the Clouds :) Frankly we don't need systems like Square, but people are still afraid and like to retain the standard convention of paying so they don't freak out. I understand that. But in the end, which is more secure? A card in your wallet, or a PIN in your head?

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:24:15 -0000

I'm really excited to see people start using these kind of app, though I think most will wait until the Apple store starts using them instead ^_^

I saw another really interesting Point Of Sale system for Mac called LightSpeed ~ http://www.xsilva.com/ (it does have an iPhone app, though I doubt it allows payment like Square)

Re: Binary Hammer Announces Polyhedra XL for the iPad

CannonGod — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:46:37 -0000

Assuming this is aimed at the $4 iPad app pricing guide.

Personally a game like Polyhedra seems more fun on an iPad than an iPhone, what with the extra real-estate on offer :)

@Eli Prenten, My comment was in relation to the article, not in reply to you :¬P

Re: Exclusive Preview: Firetask for Mac

CannonGod — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:00:20 -0000

I don't see how this is radically different from Things. I see the 'categories' option, which might list #tagged items together (something which Things would do with!).

Re: Zooom/2, Freestyle Window Management [VideoStories]

CannonGod — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:25:06 -0000

I've been using Zooom2 for a little while now, along with Cinch. They are a match made in heaven. Apple really needs to build in magnetic edges already.

If there was one feature I'd like though is the ability to quickly centre a window on the screen, sort of like a 'magnetic window midpoint'. Otherwise I'm damn pleased with my set up.

I never knew 'The Ring goes to Silent Hill' was on CD-ROM?!! Incidentally, Dramatic Baby > Dramatic Prairie Dog.

Wow! I never win anything! :D

Thank you Federico and thank you Stefan Reitshamer for your feedback in the original thread :) http://www.macstories.net/r...

I'm very looking forward to trying this out!

Re: A First Look At The iPhone 4G? Well, Perhaps Parts Of It

CannonGod — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:53:47 -0000

A mirrored front surface? Really? Apple wouldn't dare do something so stupid just so {rumoured} video callers can orientate themselves with the {rumoured} front-facing camera. It would be much easier for them to have picture-in-picture with both vid streams playing. Far more elegant.

Sitting in the library using this case makes it seem like you're looking up ye olde pin-ups!
