MacID, developed by Kane Cheshire, was released on January 15, 2015, yet it didn't make it onto my iPhone until about a month ago. Oh, how I had been missing out! MacID facilitates a very elegant way to interact with your Mac in a way that is so
It seems that you can never get everything you want with Twitter on the iPhone. You have a few options with the official app, Tweetbot, and Twitterrific as the 3 most obvious options. I'm not a Twitterrific guy, but I've bounced back and forth between Tweetbot
A few months ago, I made this chart showing how far back different phone makers were supporting the new mobile OS’s hitting the market. Some things have changed since then and I only felt it necessary to update the chart (different scale and colors, but same point). So the
