A bit off topic as didn't read the article, but i used to live in the same apartment building as Ingmar some years ago in Stockholm.

I never saw him the first couple of years when i lived there, but one time when i was coming home from the video store (ok, quite a long time ago i guess...) and an older guy was getting into the elevator, noticed me and held it for me.

I get in and only then realize who it was. And of course he asks what movie i had just rented. Quite embarrasing as it was a really crappy b-movie about a giant squid or something that i had rented as a last resort...

Go to Preferences > Profiles > Session and at the bottom there's a checkbox labeled "Status Bar Enabled".

I like the memorial video and don't mind standing for it at all. Altough it would be a nice touch if they put subtitles on it.

Swinsian[.com] supports "Applescript control" according to their features list.

Try Swinsian: http://swinsian.com. Basically iTunes without any bloat.

A small bug: if you hit the GO button without entering an apitoken, you get a 500 server error.

Well said, have an upvote.

"It makes a lot more sense to create an autonomous vehicle and treat the entire cabin as an interactive experience that people will spend hours a day playing with and spending money in."

Would be cool if Apple skipped the "car" and went straight to a stylish and modern "RV", basically a small apartment that can also drive you around (autonomously).

Look at this RV tour and imagine something that's a bit bigger in living space (but same size overall (no big engine, no drivers area etc)): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tylz5sfCAOc

It might not be realistic yet, but in a few years maybe, especially if solar panels gets better. Which i'm guessing Apple is doing a lot of research on as we speak...

And if you loose/somebody tows it, you'd just log on to iCloud and use the "Find my House" feature ;-)

Well said!

Wish apple would remove the ratings from the app store, all this begging for ratings are super annoying for me as a user, no matter how it's done. And i must say, this seems a lot more annoying than a simple popup in-app, and a whole lot more creepy! If any of the apps i use implemented something like this, i would delete it straight away.

Why do you keep it then?

I've just made a simple django app to keep track of my expenses.

It's pretty simple, but still very useful. Supports tagging for easy filtering and will automatically convert any items in a foreign currency into my currency (SEK), useful when you are traveling and want to compare prices in different countries for similar.

Don't know about that, but backa is the swedish word for "to back up" something and also the action of reversing, say, a car... :)

render() returns a HttpResponse, so no need to do HttpResonse(render(...)) :)

A very nice utility to have installed.

It can also convert a video to an mp3:

youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKbtC223e30

Overview?

I would like an OCR app that, when launched, just OCR's the latest photo i've taken and put the resulting text in the clipboard.

Example use case: You're in a hotel and want to connect to the WiFi so instead of looking at their sign and typing in the password by hand, you just take a photo and launch the app and then paste the password where needed.

Would also be good for power users with apps like Launch Center and pythonista.
