Your iPhone dislikes "Flickr" {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jul 22nd 2008 7:08PM All I know is that the F bomb is now in scare quotes, and the iPhone's dictionary seems to have forgotten all the things it seemed to have learned when I X'd out its suggestions typing out all my emails and texts over the last year. Good times.

AppFlow for the iPhone {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Feb 21st 2008 7:51PM My coverflow in iTunes is about 99% blank slides and never gets used, so I'm happy to see a use of coverflow where I can actually enjoy the slickness.

When is HD not HD? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 30th 2008 12:04AM All I can say is that in Handbrake, it makes a difference if your encode is at 2000 kbps MPEG4, or 2000 kbps H.264. Furthermore, it makes a difference if you click the '2-pass encoding' option at the same bitrate in either codec. Compression is a tradeoff. You can have the bitrate be the same, but if you don't compress it right, it will look like ass despite being at the same bitrate as something that looks awesome.
Testing the iPhone's fake GPS {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 28th 2008 10:16PM I'm in Chicago too. I think the 'If it doesn't work, try, try again' is the way to go. When it works, it's been pretty impressively precise. When I'm on the ground floor of my work, it knows the difference between the front of my building, the middle, and the back (the building is half a block long). But I work 20 stories up, and it's stymied up there, even on multiple tries, to get my location any closer than the Loop in general (from the lake to the highway interchange).
On or near the ground, though, it's been impressively close once it homes in well.
