App Store ratings for The Incident, the game Matt Comi and I just released. Sorry to brag, but we’re pretty damn proud of this.
(By the way, at least some of the 1-star ratings seem to be due to real issues we could address if the App Store allowed us to reply to comments. Bummer.)
FYI, You can reply… sort of. Just purchase a copy of the app, and make a comment yourself.

Stay.app
I’ve been waiting for something like this for years. The single worst part of using a MacBook Pro as your primary computer, and going from using a Cinema Display to the laptop alone, is that windows in OS X are absolutely terrible about retaining their locations and sizes. Windows will frequently jump to random places, half off the screen, it’s horrible.
For many years I have been complaining to anyone who will listen that Apple should be solving this problem directly in OS X, especially since a majority of Apple’s customers are laptop users. This issue continues to be ignored, however.
Enter Stay.app, which allows you to store desired locations of windows for all applications in multiple states (laptop screen only, plus external display, external display only) and the app can automatically switch between them when the display setup changes. In addition, you can use Stay.app to restore window positions even without changing your display arrangement.
I couldn’t get my credit card out fast enough for this purchase.
Stay.app does look great.

"Universal DRM" renamed UltraViolet, beta starts this fall
So let’s take a step back for a minute. With all of this talk of abstract “devices”, which devices, exactly, are people likely to demand compatibility with?
Might any of them have an Apple logo?
Not to mention that if they do a “cloud-based” authentication scheme, this means two things:
1. Each of the devices must have networking hardware, and be able to connect to the internet. How does this work for portable DVD players?
2. What happens if the content publisher disappears, and the authentication servers go away? I would assume that you will no longer be able to watch that movie. This has happened before with windows media authentication.

He kicked off his sneakers and stared at the wall, frustration turning acid in his mouth. If only his dad hadn’t used Restrictions to disable purchases on his iPod. If only he hadn’t gotten in trouble for buying that thousand-dollar “I Am Rich” app two years ago when Tony from across the street had dared him to. If only Doodle Jump were free. So many if-onlies.
read this. it’s hilarious.

Marco.org: My iPhone 4 antenna-gap fix
I hate cases. I hate that they make the phone bigger, look cheap, and increase friction into and out of pockets.
During the Q&A session after yesterday’s press conference, John Gruber asked, “Do any of you use the cases?”
All three executives held up their bare, caseless iPhones. None of…
Interesting idea of what Gruber meant. I had assumed that he was attempting to illustrate “These three guys don’t need a case, because it’s not that big of a problem”

Huge load of photos from the oil spill, that you might be illegal to see eventually.
Killing this many animals (including endangered species), certainly must carry some sort of criminal penalty?
