-M gets one days worth of commit messages, creates a beautifully designed email and sends it to a list of recipients.
A nice way to keep tabs on a Github-hosted project. Also, the developers noticed an interesting side-effect:

The Dusty Programmer: Most Pressed Keys and... →

I switch between programming languages quite a bit; I often wondered what happens when having to deal with the different syntaxes, does the syntax allow you to be more expressive or faster at coding in one language or another. I dont really know about that; but what I do know what keys are pressed…

drbarnard:
I have to admit I was rather charmed watching a demo of Microsoft’s Windows 8 tablet. I bounce back and forth between my iPad and MacBook Pro quite often during the day, so merging the two into a single device seems appealing. After a few minutes daydreaming about the unification of iOS and OSX,…

android-gripes:
When I use an iPhone and an Android phone at the same time, I often find that apps from the same company look a lot different on these two platforms - the ones on Android usually look much worse.
Here is a couple of examples.

If you wanted your iPhone or iPad app to work with older versions of the OS, or if you wanted to make a universal app that ran on both iPhone and iPad, you need to ensure that the code never tries to call a method or instantiate an object that doesn’t exist on its OS.
For example, the iPhone…

Go ahead, call me a fanboy and stop reading now if the headline irks you.
Fact is, my current aluminum 13” MacBook is the first and only laptop I’ve owned which, after 20 months of owning it, still works just as great as it did the first day.
Really, I may just be jinxing myself, but I bought this laptop in February of ‘09 and it still is in top shape, everything works and I...

The app was finally rejected in mid-September, shortly after the publishing of the new App Store guidelines, due to the resemblance of Buzzes’s icon to that of Google Buzz.
