  1. @njkobie If you wanted to be extra nice to your neighbours, see if there's an iOS device handy. GarageBand has a tuning feature. ;-)
  2. @MacworldUK Worth adding: avoid charging in some cases, such as leather; can get hot, reducing capacity in long term (apple.com/batteries).
  3. @nikf Oh, I thought you meant you'd attended a recording. Cheers!
  4. @nikf @bbchignfy Oh my! Do you know when that episode airs?
  5. bbc.in/KGbJIx – if I watched one artist's performance on a music show, my choice equates to rebroadcasting by Fox's argument. Twits.
  6. There was a hint that Apple might keep iDisk alive in iCloud, but I've seen nothing more about this in recent months. Goodbye next month?
  7. @adambanksdotcom @kennyhemphill Wait until Mountain Lion and iOS 6 are out, to see how they compare to Safari's offline Reading List.
  8. @macusermagazine yes. You've got the columns for other fields. Show them equal love. Point to online showcases for stuff like video.
  9. @panic Will Diet Coda gain popups for standard CSS property values, to match Coda 2? Seems odd to have it for property names but not values.
  10. @JazRignall Considering how well it has ages, 82% for graphics seems way more harsh than the overall rating.
  11. @nikf Watched it earlier this week. Also appreciated it. Feel I will remember that storyline more than any of the other three.
  12. @AspyrMedia Does The Force Unleashed work on all 2011 iMacs GPUs now? I had immense trouble with it when I upgraded.
  13. @CaptnHollister @adambanksdotcom Absolutely. Wish he wasn't being cast in stuff. Hope his role in the next Trek is tiny.
  14. @captnhollister @adambanksdotcom The result was the spectacle Mission Impossible 4 being less grand than the makers intended.
  15. @captnhollister @adambanksdotcom That only works if they were originally downloaded on a PC or Mac.
  16. @CaptnHollister @adambanksdotcom Thanks for the info. I checked Apple's support section and you can't move rentals from an iOS device…
  17. @mattgemmell It's not quite what you're after, but do you already know about this? itunes.apple.com/gb/app/james-p…
