What Globe Telecom is adding is what they call iToolbar. It’s basically an opportunity for them to track what you do, and inject ads into the sites you go to.
That’s just sleazy, but the best part is their answer to whether they will push unwarranted advertising.
Dustin Earley for Android and Me in June:
I can’t find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended period of time, and hasn’t seen a massive downgrade in performance. Just what kind of downgrade are we talking here? I cannot pick up my Nexus 7 without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just to rotate the display; touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps.
No wonder people don’t go online with it, they can’t even get it to work.
The developer site still isn’t live, but at least you can see the status.
I just can’t imagine doing this, but I’m sure there are a lot of people that would.
Typical day in Canada.
This is kind of sad. Clearly lots of stuff going on behind the scenes though.
Nathan Conyngham:
Just say No. Don’t use fluffy, doublespeak language. Just say it.
No.
Sometimes it is the right thing to do.
Yes, the articles saying Apple is doomed are back, but Bryan Chaffin takes one to task for clearly not paying attention.
The entire industry appears to be shifting away from that bi-annual schedule and to a more consumer friendly seasonal emphasis. This is evidenced by the slowing growth of both smartphones and tablets on a quarter-over-quarter basis according to some of the latest device shipment data. My conviction is not that we are seeing saturation but seasonality. There are other factors at play which I will get into.
Great stuff from Ben Bajarin, who’s predicting a big uptick in PC (and therefore Mac) sales soon.
Wow, that’s huge.
I think we’ve all suspected this happens at some stores, but not doubling the price. At least I didn’t think they went that far.
You have to love these instruments. Take a look at the strat for $560—incredible.

“We are really excited about the upcoming releases of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks, and we are laser-focused and working hard on some amazing new products that we will introduce in the fall and across 2014,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Very cool that he still has the packing slip.
This is really sad.
Very nice looking Les Paul. I still want one of the Slash Appetite Les Pauls.
Ben Balser shows you three ways that Apple’s two professional apps work together.
A new report from Chitika on Tuesday shows that Apple’s iPad is still growing its Web share usage. The iPad is now at 84.3%, its highest mark since the beginning of 2013.
The iPad grew by almost two percentage points from 82.4% to reach its new high, according to Chitika. This marks the second straight month of gains for Apple.
Following in second and third place are the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy family of products, respectively.
The Kindle has dropped its share for the past few months going from 7.4% down to 5.7% for the most recent report. Samsung hasn’t done any better. It dropped from 4.7% to 4.2% in the most recent report.
I ask the same question every time I see reports like this—What are people doing with those other tablets? Clearly, they are not going online.
These guys already got funded, but there’s still a couple of days to get in on it.
Another great story on how the iPhone and Apple developers are helping those with accessibility needs.
Holy shit, that’s just incredible. Thanks to everyone that subscribes to Amplified with me and Dan Benjamin—we appreciate it.
Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn (DRIVE) are back with this visionary Bangkok-set thriller. Kingpin Julian (Gosling) avenges his brother’s killer, while a mysterious, unhinged policeman follows his every move.
I love it when Apple posts exclusive content like this.
We’ve established that I’m not much of a photographer, but this seems like a good idea to me. The app is free to download on the App Store.

I agree with a lot of what Shaun McGill says in this article. We have come a long way from the days of Palm and using a device as a PDA. Now we have a computer in our pocket and your computer is a matter of personal choice.
They’re just babies.
Dave Mark sent this to me. This could be useful for a lot of people.
Here’s what’s holding back 3D printing, the technology that’s supposed to revolutionize manufacturing and countless other industries: patents. In February 2014, key patents that currently prevent competition in the market for the most advanced and functional 3D printers will expire, says Duann Scott, design evangelist at 3D printing company Shapeways.
It will be interesting to see where this goes in the next couple of years.
This is great. Just click on the number of beers at the top of the video and everything instantly changes.
Security researcher Ibrahim Balic said he meant no harm and reported the security hole to Apple. Nick Arnott also has a good story about this on iMore.
