I'm using the cozy theme/setting and the padding keeps jumping from small to the cozy mode which is annoying. Anyone experiencing this?

IDEs Are Dangerous 14 years ago

One of the biggest pluses of an IDE is the contextual access to the API. This helps a lot when learning a new language/framework.

I haven't used many IDEs lately by when I was learning Java, netbeans was my best friend.

Aside from that, maybe the easy access to debugging. Although tests have made debugging less necessary for me.

Recently Steve announced 2 billion paid to devs. That makes apple's cut close to .9 billion. Meanwhile in a quarter Apple has profits of 7billion.

This makes sense as an experment, and I don't really doubt Apple wants this eventually. i wonder what will happen first, Apple pulling the trigger on the switch to ARM or ARM matching in speed to current-time intel.

What strikes me as weird is that the source couldn't pinpoint if it was iOS or MacOS, which is cool because it means it looked completely different that both (a good sign that Apple is not settling down).

Yet another pundit giving an use to the North Carolina data center.

Apple makes awesome software to boost the hardware sales, cheaper software lowers the barrier for people to buy the hardware.

I don't kill anything either.

What I meant by my original comment is that for me it doesn't work as I'd like. It may be an issue with the apps I use or iOS's way of doing multi-tasking.

I listen to 5by5 podcasts (atomic web browser) and follow the discussions on irc (Colloquy for iPad).

I someone posts a link on the irc and I follow it when I come back to colloquy I don't get any of the messages sent while I wasn't looking...

When I use the AndChat in my Nexus One I can happily go watch a lolcat and when I get back I can read all of the I can haz messages everyone sent while I was looking at the site.

That use case is the one I consider broken in iOS, maybe Apple doesn't care about people who still use irc or maybe it's Colloquy that's broken.
