Marco wrote a good piece speculating on the internals of the rumored iPad Mini (or Nano or Junior or whatever). What caught my attention, thou, was this:
iPad2,4 is the 32nm die-shrunk update that quietly replaced the 16 GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 when the iPad 3 was released, yielding better battery life and lower cost, and probably partly responsible for the iPad 2’s price drop to $399.1
So actually the current ”iPad 2” has a better battery life then the ”iPad 2” that was sold before ”The New iPad” (aka iPad 3) was released? I might have to revise my advice to people interested in buying an iPad; maybe the iPad 3 is not always the way to go.

One of the many parts of the Twitter Api 1.1 thats been quite ambiguous is the part about quoting tweets:
We will require all applications that display Tweets to adhere to [the display requirements]. Among them: linking @usernames to the appropriate Twitter profile, displaying appropriate Tweet actions (e.g. Retweet, reply and favorite) and scaling display of Tweets appropriately based on the device.1
It is not one hundred percent clear what an application means in this case. Marco Arment took a pessimistic approach:
I’m pretty sure this means that I can’t just display a tweet as a link and blockquote when I want to quote it here.2
When I first read that I shook my head in disbelief. ”They can’t possibly be that creepy and control-freaky, can they?” According to Jeremy Keith, turns out they can:
Just to double-check, I asked one of my (many) friends who work at Twitter. “These display requirements …they don’t apply to me quoting a tweet on my blog, right?”
The answer I got surprised me. Apparently the display guidel… requirements do apply to me. If I want to quote a tweet on my website, I’m supposed to use the embed code to make sure that people can favourite/retweet/follow, etc.3
Now, read that quoted part again and think about what it really means. Whatever you write on Twitter, they claim ownership of. Not only that, but they actually go so far as to suddenly dictate how you are allowed to quote the things written on their service. That completely violates years and years of writing tradition and, probably, a whole bunch of laws regarding fair use etc.
I’m not sure what Twitter is trying to pull here, but apparently they have gone completely insane. I hope every blogger in the world violates this. As long as you’re not an app developer, Twitters only response can be to take actual legal actions against it and I can’t possibly see how they could win such a case.
(What about newspapers? At least in Sweden newspapers sometimes quote famous peoples tweets in there printed edition. How the hell should they comply with this?)

Many hackers moved to OSX. It was a good looking Unix, with working audio, PDF viewers, working video drivers, codecs for watching movies and at the end of the day, a very pleasant system to use. Many exchanged absolute configurability of their system for a stable system.1
I hesitate to call myself a hacker, but this paragraph pretty much sums it up for me as well.
In my pre-Mac life I had a computer with a Windows (mostly XP) partition for my audio work and a Linux partition for my development work. Nowadays the needs of both jobs happily coexist under the roof of OS X. I can run stable no fuzz audio recording and sequencing programs side by side with a Unix terminal.2
