  • Twitter for iOS updated with $8 checkmark in-app purchase

    Wait, so instead of paying celebrities and official accounts for providing free content verified to be authentic, he‘s making THEM pay for the privilege of attracting traffic by veracity? 

    I mean. I guess it goes both ways, but has Musk really not understood how Twitter works?

    Apparently, that can be arranged. 
    Dude, if I forwarded that to the DOJ, you'd be looking at prison time. Be more careful with your wording!
    a) I'm probably not subject to jurisdiction by the DoJ. 

    b) I was very careful, and very deliberate, with my wording. As is apparent from this article, the prerequisite "cold, dead wrists" are not necessarily something that would stop someone.
    That's what "apparently" means. 

    I put that word there explicitly so that it couldn't be construed as a threat.

    How do I use any of these programs to draw a family tree instead of using commercial genealogy program? 
    I would recommend Keynote. Insert a text box for each person, and connect that with angled connection lines. Export to pdf or jpeg or whatever you prefer.

    Keynote is basically a page layout program. All of the iWork apps are good at page layout.
    Can Numbers do it? 
    Yes! It's as capable as Pages or Keynote.
    You can connect cells with lines? Can you bend the lines? 
    Ah, sorry. I missed the detailed example of what you wanted to do — the quote was collapsed. 

    I’m not sure that particular task is possible in Numbers. To be fair, I’ve never tried to do it in Pages, either. 

    I retract my statement.
