Let me tell you all the ways …

… in which I hate you. 800 MBs of RAM. And you know what? I haven’t even used Flash since I started Chrome. So in the midst of Flash versus Apple (well, we’ve sort of blown past it, but anyway), … Continue reading

The equivalent of ‘toString’ in Objective-C.

Redefining privacy.

It’s Choose Privacy Week, whatever that is (not even Wikipedia knows!). First time I’ve heard of it anyway, but 20K Films made a movie or two about it, and they say: “The first-ever Choose Privacy Week will take place May … Continue reading
