20 November 2008, by Random Feed wrote an interesting post today on Here’s a quick excerpt There are three explanations for how Google got away with this: (1) whoever at Apple approved the app did not realize that it was using the private proximyStateChanged method; (2) whoever approved it knew that it used a private API, but approved it anyway; (3) Google sought and obtained permission from Apple to use this method.

[edit] Gruber on iPhone-Likeness

4 November 2008, by Good piece from John Gruber on iPhone-Likeness and why many developers don’t get it when it comes to creating apps that feel iPhone-like: I’ll put forth one central, overriding guideline for iPhone UI design: Figure out the absolute least you need to do to implement the idea, do just that, and then polish the hell out of the experience. This, it seems to be, is the essence of any interaction design.

[edit] iPhone-Likeness

4 November 2008, by By John Gruber, Editor, Daring Fireball Anyone involved in Mac software development is familiar with arguments over whether a particular app is “Mac-like.” In the early days of the Mac–the first decade or so–the entire Mac community was largely in agreement about just what this meant. To be un-Mac-like was to be ignorant of the fundamental concepts and norms of the Mac OS. It was something you could spot in an instant–software designed by engineers who just did not get it.

Secondo il sito Daring Fireball, gli esponenti di Opera non avrebbero mai detto che il browser sarebbe stato respinto da Apple, bensì si è trattato di una cattiva interpretazione dell’autore dell’articolo del NYT o ancora meglio di una sorta di speculazione. Gli stessi sviluppatori di Opera, fanno il punto della situazione, cerc
