My camera selected the second from the top on the left. Thanks for doing this! How does one get these Starbucks codes? Do you have to buy coffee there to get them?

You could in theory just walk in and pocket every card they have on display.

Is there an app that will let me make a playlist using songs that are on my device (synced from iTunes), from Spotify, and from SoundCloud? Basically something like Tomahawk, but for iOS. Google has turned up nothing.

Apple would probably not allow this, but you can sync local files to Spotify and then make a playlist using their library and your obscure tracks.

Are there any media players for IOS that are capable of streaming music and video from a Windows PC/Networked HDD/whatever (like Avia Media Player and others for Android) to my ipod without having to install some sketchy RemoteGateway service?

Plex, probably.

I think GET is an ugly word. I'm very aspy about words and the way they look and sound, so I'm surprised Apple just said gently caress it and made it GET.

I like this one as far as word-sound goes.

But outside of that, I don't know why it couldn't have just said DOWNLOAD like games you already own. There's no downside to getting something for free.

DOWNLOAD is reserved for things you've already 'purchased.'

Get is fine and way better than Receive you goddamn sperg.

"Hey man did you get that new weather app?"

"Hey man did you receive that new weather app?"


Makes perfect sense when you look at it like that.

That's what my second sentence addresses.

Also, the language used in the past tense shouldn't be used for a word that is being used to label the potential future. Duh. Receive is just a softer word than "Get". Get is harsh and too striking. Receive has a gentle bend at its end. It also implies that something is being given to you as opposed to something being taken.

But it's the Calendar integrated widget that will get most of my bones. It tells you the weather at the time of events.

I use Friendly, it's far from perfect but it fixes 2 things that were really bugging me about the official app:

- Maintains messaging without having to download a separate app
- Remembers 'Most Recent' post setting so I don't have to change it every time I open the app

If you're cool with jailbreaking, there are two tweaks that add these back to the official app.

e: In case you guys were wondering what Tapbots is up to, they are building version 2.0 of Calcbot. It's cool, I guess, but I'm not using it for anything practical yet.

He can't use it to handle SMS from his computer, though. Pushbullet on iOS only pushes things to your phone and then from your phone to other things, but it's not as open as the Android variant.

Yeah, my company has a contract with Box as well (about 20,000 employees). It really comes in handy moving larger files around internally when ftp/sftp isn't an option. It's also nice to share files among the team without having to hope Sharepoint hasn't poo poo itself. Again.


Part of that might be sour grapes toward Dropbox because they declined to be purchased by Apple about 5 years ago (rumor has it)

A five year grudge? I highly doubt it. I doubt it so highly.
