nikf:

Last night, I quipped on Twitter that Stamped email notifications were massively annoying - no sooner do you sign up than the notifications of new followers flow in.
However credit where credit is due: the Email Settings for Stamped are some of the most thoughtful and user-friendly I’ve seen. You click a “Change your notification settings” link in an email notification, and it takes you to your settings page (shown above) - no sign-in required - where there’s a Toggle All button to, with two clicks from opening the email, turn off all the notifications. Brilliant.
I’m “nikf” if you’re giving the service a spin.

When Lion Developer Preview 2 was released, Apple replaced aqua tabs with slider tabs. For example, in the second tab bar above, when the user clicked on “General” the white tab over “Privacy” would slide over to “General.” This UI element can be found in many app settings in iOS (think of the familiar “ON/OFF” switches).
Many developers felt the switch tabs were confusing for users, and it seems that Apple has listened to them. In the third build, Apple has gone back to the depressed tab functionality (the last tab bar in the image above). I guess Apple found out that just because something looks cool and works well in iOS doesn’t necessarily mean the UI element should be translated to the desktop.

I think the same thing…

Autoritratto con mele e appunti: Il Mac non sta male – è iOS a scoppiare di salute

morrick:

Sin da quando Apple ha annunciato i risultati finanziari dell’ultimo trimestre (ecco un file PDF che li riassume), dai quali si evince che gli iDispositivi rappresentano un 60% del fatturato a fronte di un 30% di computer Mac, ho notato in più luoghi di discussione come molti abbiano…

Ottima analisi, con cui concordo in pieno!

Targeting various iOS devices with media queries

9-bits:

Jesse Dodds with an awesome tip for iPhone web devs: You can use the media attribute on webclip icons to specify different resolution icons (like for the Retina display):

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" media="screen and (resolution: 326dpi)" href="/iOS-114.png" />
