I made this theme, but http://www.tumblr.com/themes/ actually has quite a lot. As for external sources, http://tumblrthemes.com (creative URL, I know) has some really good ones. Some are paid, some are free.

I read 'iPhone', even though it just says phone. What does that say about me?

Very cool App idea. Congrats on getting it launched! I just downloaded it.

Thanks for posting the resources you used too, that's very helpful. I was wondering - which one did you find more useful? Also, what advice would you give to someone looking to get their first app developed? I'm proficient in PHP, ActionScript & Javascript, but have no C experience whatsoever.

I don't see any reason they wouldn't allow this unless it was to save it for themselves.

You guys don't have Greg's response:

The Mac has only been helped by the fact that Firefox, Ableton Live, and hundreds of other high-quality applications can run on it thanks to the fact that developers have a choice as to what tools they can use on it.

Crappy developers will make crappy apps regardless of how many layers there are, and it doesn't make sense to limit source-to-source conversion tools like Unity3D and others. They're all building apps through the iPhone developer tools in the end so the situation isn't even comparable to the Mac where applications can completely avoid using Apple's frameworks by replacing them with others.

In my opinion, 3.3.1 only serves to make the platform less attractive to legitimate developers, giving them reason to write their software for competing platforms instead.

Thanks for considering this.

Sincerely,
Greg

This is unfortunate. The Digg Reel is (was) one of the best shows on the network. Ah well, guess it had to be done. Good run!

+1 for the Buffy reference. -1 because the article isn't actually about Buffy. +2 because they broke the light barrier again.

Total awesomeness: +2.

Sure, but that show has definitely hijacked it. See: https://www.google.com/sear...

What headphones are you using in that image? They look like 3rd party in-ears that have a mic/remote.

I don't think this is a mistake, it's just an aesthetic decision. Not really a benefit, or a little big detail, just a thing they chose to do.

Re: This iWatch design concept is sexy as hell

The animations are cool and everything, but you don't look at a watch this way. Think about how a watch sits on your wrist and what angle you'd be looking at it at. This would be hella awkward to use.

Yeah I looked up the FuelBand when I wrote that comment. The inside-the-wrist method is the only one that seems even a little palpable to me. That said, no, I've never owned one.

Oh he was there, in a big way. He also looked great - definitely hasn't 'fallen off the wagon' as the other commenter here said.

Re: The Eagles rock the Air Canada Centre | Music | Entertainment | Toronto Sun

andrewprocter — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:16:42 -0000

He killed it last night. He, Walsh, and Stuart Smith were all really on-point. Frey was a little disappointing before the intermission IMO, his vocals lacked power. Though I mean, the dude is 66, so...

Stuart Smith, their touring guitarist, is fantastic. He plays Felder's solos just as good or better than him. I agree that it would appear greed got in the way of him being in the band, though I'm hesitant to pretend I know much about what actually went down - we only know what we've been told.
