Funny because a lot of people said that once they deleted the app, the battery returned to normal functionality.
Horace Dediu talking about analysts:
So paradoxically, the opinion of those who are highly paid should be treated with suspicion while the opinion of those subject to peer review should be treated with respect. It brings to mind the difference between highly paid fortune tellers and pundits whose methods are obscure vs. poorly paid graduate students whose methods are open to all. Whose opinion is worth more?”
I have a great deal of respect for Horace.
A great looking list of speakers.
According to Apple, iOS 6.1.4 has an updated audio profile for speakerphone, as well as security content originally included in previous iOS Software Updates. Go to Settings > General > Software Update on your device to get the update.
Jeff Bewkes, CEO of HBO’s parent company Time Warner, said on Wednesday that the company has no plans to offer HBO GO without a cable subscription.
This will make a lot of people very unhappy.
I was hoping it was a drinking contest, but they are looking for ideas that appeal to drinkers over 60-years-old.

He wouldn’t promise when the app would ship or what exactly it would do, but he did demonstrate some features of the prototype software running on an iPad 2.
Pro photographers have clamored for better tools on iOS; it’s good to see Adobe taking them seriously. Hopefully a real product is in the works here, rather than just a proof of concept.
Jeff Hermes wrote a great article about the media’s tendency to wrongly report that someone is a suspect in a heinous act.
John Paczkowski quoting a source on AllThingsD:
“Yes, yes — it’s essentially a repeat of the iPhone/Leopard scenario,” one source said, referring to Apple’s 2007 decision to pull engineers from OS X 10.5 to work on iPhone. “Not as much of a fire drill, though. It will ship on time.”
Yep.
Wow, they must be doing very bad.
I’ve been watching Barley for the past couple of months and it looks really nice. Watch the video to see how it all works.
Much respect.
James Thomson says this is the biggest update to the app since its initial release.

At the risk of sounding like your prototypical hipster, today’s rumors just aren’t as good as they used to be. The devices that we hear whispers about now — a smartwatch, a television, a cheaper iPhone—seem lackluster compared to the rumored products of days past—products that, when they actually appeared, changed entire industries.
IBM recently made a stop-motion cartoon using a scanning tunneling microscope to move individual atoms, according to Harry McCracken. It’s pretty mind-blowing.
IBM’s end-goal with its research is to dramatically increase the storage capacity of computing devices by creating transistors that are only a few atoms in length, but this is a fun and cool way to show how good they’re getting at moving individual atoms around.
“If I can do this by making a movie and I can get a thousand kids to join science rather than go into law school, I’d be super happy,” said IBM researcher Andreas Heinrich.
Walt Mossberg:
Although we are only about a month out from our 11th D: All Things Digital conference, we still have a few big speakers to announce, not the least of which is Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Cook was at last year’s conference, too. D11 takes place a few weeks before WWDC, so don’t expect Cook’s appearance to coincide with any big announcements from Apple.
Keep track of the most important moments in your life. Memories tells you exactly how much time has passed since those very special days.
A very simple and easy to use app.
“What a stupid idea,” I thought to myself.

“What do you think about the name we’ve been using? It’s called Pinterest.”
A couple of great stories from Dustin Curtis.
I am living goddamn proof of this people.
Spanish tennis player David Ferrer sent a tweet out to his more than 350,000 followers noting his pleasure with using Samsung’s new Galaxy S4, but accidentally sent the message from his iPhone.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That’s one way to drain to the battery of the iPad.
Apple Inc wowed the debt markets on Tuesday with the largest non-bank bond deal in history, offering a whopping $17 billion for sale as the U.S. computer giant switches strategy to placate restless shareholders.
Sources said investors could barely submit orders fast enough to get in on the deal from Apple, the only major tech company without a single penny of debt on its books.
No debt and they still had to placate shareholders.

Samsung’s Mediocre S4 Reviews Are Bad News for Apple

Right?
