  • Update Firefox now, because the Department of Homeland Security is telling you to

    The tin foil hat dude side of me wants to say that the only "security issue" Firefox really has is the absence of the DHS surveillance code.

    Indeed. Why else would DHS consider it so urgent to tell us to upgrade?

  • How iTunes went from simple to perplexing -- and gone

    leehammleehamm
    You don't mention the whole backup iceberg, that was also folded into iTunes at some stage.

    If you had music from the mp3 days, you'd likely have folders of albums containing track1, track2, track3 etc. iTunes still can't handle this, so many years later. It has to decide where to put so-called 'unknown artists' and 'unknown albums', so quite often your trackx tracks are orphaned and detached from the other tracks; grouped all together or some other ridiculous thing.

    Is there a better music app available now? iTunes is an overweight mess.

    I am not sure Apple has realized that:
    • some people don't want to stream music that they might have already paid for;
    • some people want to decide where to store their tracks;
    • we don't need multiple copies of the same album on one drive;
    • many people don't even store all their music on a local drive.

  • Hands On: Designing websites with Sparkle, the spiritual successor to iWeb

    Great article.  Please also do an article on Blocs, which from what I've seen is even easier to use than Sparkle for creating responsive websites.

    For now, I'm still using SoftPress Freeway Pro 7.  It's not easy to design responsive sites in Freeway, but the DTP design model is great for traditional sites.  I've been eyeing Sparkle and Blocs for a couple years now and consider them better alternatives to Freeway than Rapid Weaver and the now defunct Adobe Muse.
    I'd second the request for an article on Blocs. I hit a wall with Sparkle, after a few hours. Blocs has some glitches but offers much more, at a lower price, for a longer eval window.
    Thanks, Jdw, for the lead to Blocs.

    "looked custom made and very new,"...Thanks genius we already know the building is new and that it is custom. 

    Indeed, but who knew the ceilings were made of granite? That is hard to believe...
