  1. Visit Daring Fireball: The iPhone 3G Upgrade Question Daring Fireball: The iPhone 3G Upgrade Question

    Gruber walks through the "should I upgrade to the new iPhone," dilemma, one I'm currently having, myself. He correctly points out that the only real noteworthy advantages are faster networking and GPS. He doesn't mention the flush headphone jack, … More

  2. Visit Daring Fireball: The Unsatisfying State of Twitter Web Clients for the iPhone Daring Fireball: The Unsatisfying State of Twitter Web Clients for the iPhone

    Gruber compares web clients for Twitter on the iPhone. Personally, I think Thincloud is pretty good (and my favorite of the bunch), but it still hasn't been enough to make me give up Twitter over SMS. Gruber says Twitter over SMS is too annoying -… More

  3. Visit Daring Fireball: ExpanDrive Daring Fireball: ExpanDrive

    As much trouble as I've had with sshfs being slow as balls, I think I'm going to splure for this $29 app, which Gruber gives a glorius review.

  4. Visit Daring Fireball: Non-Top-Posting Reply Scripts for Apple Mail Daring Fireball: Non-Top-Posting Reply Scripts for Apple Mail

    If you're one of those people (like Gruber) who hates top-posting but wants (or *has*) to use Apple Mail for some reason, John has written and released a couple of clever AppleScripts to invoke bottom-posting, instead. Personally, I've never m… More

  5. Visit Daring Fireball: Rip This Joint Daring Fireball: Rip This Joint

    I mostly agree with what Gruber has to say in a response to criticism over his defense of Apple's TV spot. And, it's well-written, as you'd expect from John. Tangentially, I think one of the points of confusion over all this rip-off-or-not bus… More

  6. Visit Would Apple Mix DRM and Non-DRM Music at the iTunes Store? Would Apple Mix DRM and Non-DRM Music at the iTunes Store?

    Gruber has a nice article on how Apple might deal with the UI complexity of selling both DRM'd and non-DRM'd music on iTunes. He suggests a similar solution I've been touting -- just don't mention it by default. Some songs will be DRM protected an… More

  7. Visit Using Dynamic Scripting Languages for Desktop Application Development Using Dynamic Scripting Languages for Desktop Application Development

    Gruber's collected a few good links about using dynamic languages -- notably Python and Ruby -- for programming Mac apps.

  8. Visit Rands at SXSW: The Design Aesthetic of the Indie Developer Rands at SXSW: The Design Aesthetic of the Indie Developer

    This sounds like a good one. Lopp made a great moderator last year, and his panel this year includes FeedDemon creator Nick Bradburry, Mint man Shaun Inman, Daring Fireball's John Gruber, and one yet-unnamed Mac developer. These are all guys who a… More

  9. Visit Reading Between the Lines of Steve Jobs's 'Thoughts on Music' Reading Between the Lines of Steve Jobs's 'Thoughts on Music'

    Gruber provides his usual insightful commentary on Job's DRM essay. The most interesting bit, to me, is that Nettwerk, an indie label that has some big-name artists like Avril and The Barenaked Ladies, is already selling DRM-free music on eMusic a… More

  10. Visit Daring Fireball Live at Macworld Expo Daring Fireball Live at Macworld Expo

    Gruber and Cabel Sasser get together after the keynote for an hour-long chat about the iPhone and other Apple goodness. By the way, if you've never heard Cabel speak live, you've got to see this guy. He's incredibly exuberant and always laughing a… More
