NotesApple uses the āIMG_XXXXā naming convention for all images and videos captured on iOS devices, where XXXX is a unique sequence number. The first image you take is named āIMG_0001ā, the second is āIMG_0002ā and so on. During the Send to YouTube era of 2009 and 2012, the title of oneās YouTube video was defaulted to this naming convention. Unwitting content creators would then upload their videos on a public site with a barely-searchable name. To this day, there are millions of these videos.FeedUnfurl

Notes"Settings bundles are only added to the phone the first time the application is installed. If youāve worked on an application and deployed it to your development device or simulator before adding the settings.bundle to your XCode project then subsequent build and runs wonāt add the settings unless you remove the app from the device or simulator in the usual way. i.e by pressing and holding the app icon and removing it when it starts shaking."Unfurl

Notes"So how is Apple going to enable support for multitasking? Likely similar to how Android allows it. The Android platform was designed from the ground up for use on phones and other embedded devices. Consequently, we built in a mechanism whereby applications can save their state, including their current view, with the system. In fact, through this state saving mechanism, which we call Bundles, Android applications can operate as if they are stateless."Unfurl

Notes"Mimeo (even the name) started as a Mario clone with a twist: instead of power-ups affecting the player, they affect the entire game world. A story and mythos quickly developed. The so-called Mimeoverse consists of two 16-bit demiverses sharing 32-bits between them. When the evil Kleptopus King, an 8-bit octopus with an inferiority complex, discovers a portal into Mimeoās realm and begins to syphon off its bits, Mimeo is sucked in and downsampled to 2-bit. So begins Mimeoās quest to restore balance to the demiverses."Unfurl

NotesI have an iPod Touch, so I have the media. I want the messaging. "In all, Palm put as much effort into making the webOS a first-rate messaging experience as Apple did into making the iPhone a first-rate media experience, and with just as much success. So if most of your communication consists of Twitter, email, SMS, and IM with the people in your Facebook network and/or Gmail contacts list, then the Pre will do for your personal messaging what your work BlackBerry does for your business messaging."Unfurl
Notes"Let's be clear: we are not saying that Apple has to carry apps it doesn't like in its App Store. But iPhone owners who don't want Apple playing the role of language police for their software should have the freedom to go elsewhere. This is precisely why EFF has asked the Copyright Office to grant an exemption to the DMCA for jailbreaking iPhones. It's none of Apple's business if I want an app on my phone that lets me read EFF's RSS feed, use Sling Player over 3G, or read the Kama Sutra."Unfurl

I would frequently snap photos of class assignments printed on copy paper so I wouldnāt have to worry about losing them.
