SeatGeek has a wonderful product but I feel we're positioned in the market a lot better because of the access to a large number of primary tickets. We can uniquely do some things (like giving fans early access to onsales). Our products are currently lacking but we have many things internally going on that will change that.

What was missing in the WWDC announcements when the Spotlight improvements were discussed was web search. Apple will probably want to acquire DDG and cut itself off of Google completely adding it's own web search to Spotlight and Siri.

Thanks for impactjs! I used it to develop this couple years ago: http://heartlight5.com Have fun!

I wonder if Snowden and co. were that stupid to keep all their files with Miranda. The fact is the gov can never be sure if whatever he was carrying is in fact the complete set.

I've been using iOS7 since Beta 2, and I still hate it.

I don't like the look, but this might be personal. So putting this aside, to me iOS7 is actually harder to use. The flat buttons (which are just labels now) are harder to press. I do not know if this is psychological since they appear smaller, or is it that the target area is actually smaller now. Toggles are grayed out in their off state, so they appear disabled, as in "you are not supposed to be pressing it now" (see Speaker control in the Voice Memos app).

There are also a lot of other things they changed during the redesign for worse from my perspective. For example: in the Voice Memos app I used to be able to record and play back a sequence quickly. Now * I stop recording a sample * Press Done * Am forced to label it (why!!) * Expand the memo I just recorded (why is it collapsed - I am still working on it) * Hit play

I record 20+ samples a day I need to listen to quickly, and this is so frustrating.

There are other things like this throughout the OS. In calendar for example you can't expand the Notes on the meeting, so god forbid someone puts important meeting information there.

It seems to me like people at Apple actually stopped using their phones. These little things scream at you once you actually try to get something done.

Thanks Jakub. Just what I was looking for.

font-weight is indeed the main problem, but regardless I hate this new trend of not making text black. What would a bookmarklet look like to set the body color to black?

Mauritania ;)

The on-screen keyboard reminds me of the good ol' days of ZX Spectrum (each key had a command assigned to it, you typically wouldn't type the commands but press the corresponding button)

No, but I do scroll the page up, so that the line I'm reading aligns with the top of the browser viewing area.

Some sites nowadays add a floating header to the top of the page that changes size as you scroll down which is super distracting when reading the way I do.

That slate and the word "next" remind me of something...

Compare to google:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=shop&q=ipod&...

Equally bad results in my opinion. I guess they are lazy greedy slobs too.

I don't work at Amazon but worked at one of the largest comparison shopping sites in a core search group.

Sorting by price is hard - if you really wanted to do a true price sort you end up with the long tail of products that match the term "ipod" (but are very loosely related to ipods) at the top of search results. Try searching for ipod in electronics and sorting by price.:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_i_0?rh=k%3Aipod%2C...

I get a usb connector, stereo speaker, some other mp3 players, etc. all among the top 6 results. Only 2 ipods on the first page. At least there is a link to a department containing just the ipods.

So in order to avoid doing really badly you don't allow searching by pure price, but rather use a combination of price and relevancy (and this can only take you so far as the results above demonstrate.)

Sure. I wasn't certain anyone would be interested in it, but will do a writeup soon.

You pretty much have to do the same thing - release code using new models before migrating the db. Django tends to spell out all columns in its SQL statements, so when you delete one from the db, but fail to upgrade the code you will run into a db exception.

I'd also recommend using South for migrations http://south.aeracode.org/

I am guessing there are some access right restrictions to the API and they haven't added anything like OAuth yet. That's why they need to proxy for it (hunch based on the use of word api-internal in the post).

Another reason might simply be they just don't have the right people to develop the JS front-end.

Possible. What were they used for before? Voice control?

I noticed the new address book has entries for phonetic first/last names (use the Add Field). I assume those are used by Siri (just like the Related People fields) and would solve your name problem.
