The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

This won't fix the bug entirely, all it will do is treat your music like audiobooks and the next time you skip a track in the middle and them listen to it again it will start in the middle. I don't think it fixes the bug where the playlist won't remember where you are after you pause the music.

I'm actually fine with that to be honest - my main issue was getting 45 minutes into a mix before I arrive at work, then 8 hours later when I head home I have to figure out where I was up to again. I don't tend to use playlists that often so I'm not as worried about that; I only mentioned my issue because I thought it might be related to the playlist issue.

I recently switched to an iphone5 from android and was looking for a free offline map app like Openstreetmap that I had on my android. One where I can download maps for cities that I'm going to be visiting soon that I probably won't have wifi/cellular access (Reykjavik, London, Paris). While it seems that there are several in the itunes store (Galileo, Openmaps) if you want to download the maps, you get have to pay for that access.

Is there a way to enlarge the cache for google maps to pre-download maps for those areas?

Is anyone using Copy? It's a Dropbox-like service, really nice app overall. You get 5GB to start with.

e: sign up with my referral link: https://copy.com?r=y3NpfU for an extra 5GB for you and me, if you're feeling charitable.

Maybe we should make a new thread to keep this one from turning into a referral chain thing.

e: just fyi sometimes it takes a little while for the extra 5GB to show up but it will eventually as long as you actually install the app.

It's a really nice app, I'm surprised actually at how nice it is. The desktop app (Windows) is also really nice. Basically it is just like Dropbox, you get a little folder that you can put your files in. You can share them online too though I've only been able to get the link from the web interface.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't seem to support automatic photo upload like Dropbox. But then again Dropbox always ends up uploading everything, even shots I don't care to keep, so I suppose the manual upload on Copy has its advantages too.

e: unrelated but why in the gently caress doesn't iOS let me select all my photos from my camera roll? I have to tap each photo manually. Grrrrr.

How does a word processor not support MLA format? Isn't that just how you set the margins, spacing, works cited, etc. ? Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like you'd be able to do that in any word processor or text editor.

I haven't tried any (as I have Navigon for that, but it's not free), but googling "iOS offline maps" has a bunch of results:

http://galileo-app.com/
http://www.offmaps.com/
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!!
Lots of these say free and support offline:

As far as I can tell, the 5GB is reciprocal, and I'm still on the fence about it. Gonna use it for a day or two, see if it's worth it.

Yes it is. The referrer and the referree get +5GB. You said you probably won't use the app. So why not let someone else get the 5GB referral bonus? Then maybe if you decide to use it you can got for referrals? I mean, it's fine; just seemed a little dickish.

I have more space in my Dropbox than I can use right now, and the look and feel of the app is a non-issue for me because all I do is run the background syncing app on my computers, and occasionally dig into it on my iPhone. Are those the only two things Copy offers over Dropbox? No improvements in e.g., security and encryption? Dropbox also has the advantage of being around for a really loving long time, so I know they (probably) won't randomly shut down next year. Dropbox also has had tons of security issues in the past and I only use Dropbox reluctantly and not for Important Personal Files that I wouldn't want to be leaked somewhere. At least with Spideroak their niche is ultra–secured/encrypted backups and they gladly explain on their website what they're doing to make that true. Going to Copy's website just makes Safari ask if Copy.com can put desktop notifications on my computer.

I just encrypt sensitive stuff myself with TrueCrypt before saving to Dropbox or Copy. I e been meaning to set up a script to auto encrypt everything in "for the cloud" folder then copy it to Dropbox or Copy folder, but doing it manually isn't much hassle.

For my work stuff I just have an encrypted sparse bundle image. Scared the image might get corrupted and destroy everything in it, but I do regular local backups of the files inside as well.

Yeah that's been my one issue with it so far - skipping to different points of a file is just way too slow. But as a price for accessing all my media outside of home, I'm happy to live with it.

Today's Google Maps update allegedly includes an update to allow you to search your iOS contacts, but I can't get it to work even after following all of the in-app instructions for syncing accounts through CardDAV and all that.

I'd like to be able to use my idevice as a wireless network file storage for small files that I use daily between machines that aren't specifically mine namely regular texts and my keepass file. I already carry around my idevices to these same places so I'd rather not have to carry around a usb key as well. Is there an app that can masquerade as a network place that I can access through windows explorer? This would let me automate a few things rather than manually launch and access a wifi web server that so many of these file management apps do.
