Michael Lynton // I am married to Sarah and live in Austin, TX. I like to take photos of my food and Yelp about it. I workshift by day as an IT Sales Engineer, usually from home. I'm a fanatic of the cloud, tech, & personal finance. Still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.
The app, if you couldn't guess, is finally released for the iPhone! And, it is stellar. I look forward to using it more. With the app, you can:
this is a super nice redesign of an iPhone home screen. Something like this is only available if you jailbreak your phone. My is not, and I don't plan to unlock it. Bummer.
I saw this app advertised on Twitter today. Looks like a good one to have. But, I'm curious what the benefit of this one is, versus just buying an app that comes with push notifications. Maybe it is because you can choose which Twitter app you want Boxcar to integrate with.
I have only jumped around inside the app briefly. I immediately went over to the 'upload' section of the app. I wanted to see if you could bulk upload multiple photos - even maybe at least 5 like you can with the native iPhone library. No such luck though.
After 26 days of waiting, SimplyTweet 2.2 has been rejected.
The reason? - "We will not post applications that reference other applications in their search criteria." The keyword? "Tweeter".
It appears that it was rejected for trying to allow users to search for the word "tweeter". Even though (supposedly) that is the name of another application, it is a valid term to search for, in my opinion.
This is getting old, Apple. Fine if you want to reject it, but to take 26 days to do so is mega-lame.
Quite possibly one of the most liberating things I have done in a while. I think S and I will both benefit from this. :)
I am in Atlanta until next Thursday. When I got to work today, I had calendar notifications going off on my phone, which were an hour off. I finally found the setting that fixed this on my iPhone. I honestly didn't know if it was just a glitch, or what. But honestly, I don't know why this option exists. Why would not not want your calendar to match the time/time zone of your phone? Seems odd to me. Nevertheless, here is the path to fix it.
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Time Zone Support (all the way at the bottom) -> Set to off
