Steve Jobs 1955-2011 Dear Steve, I’ve never met you in person, but I feel that I know you. You’ve influenced so many things around me – this MacBook which I’m typing on, my iPods, iPhones, and iPads. Zachary will grow up trying to manipulate objects on every screen he finds because of you.

How the iPhone mail app decides when to show you new mail
Here’s a question. You’re in the iPhone mail app, and you’re looking at your inbox, when a new email arrives. What happens? The answer to this question is why I love Apple products. I’m totally spoilt by these guys – how will I ever be able to switch to another phone?
