Changes in iOS 9.0 (developer.apple.com)
SFSafariViewController can be used to display web content within your app. It shares cookies and other website data with Safari, and has many of Safari's great features, such as Safari AutoFill and Safari Reader. Unlike Safari itself, the SFSafariViewController UI is tailored for displaying a single page, featuring a Done button that takes users back to where they were in your app.

It’s Kind of Cheesy Being Green (medium.com)
A few months ago my friend Edd Dumbill shared a discovery. He pointed out that if you search Twitter for the words “green bubbles” you’ll find very consistent results. People hate green bubbles.

...after Apple announced they were sun-setting MAC address Wi-Fi triangulation (which was the indoor positioning technique Aruba/Meridian relied on at the time), the two companies decided to adopt new Apple iBeacon standards and build their own beacons so they could control their system more thoroughly.

Amazing app makes me the product! - CurrentC App Review (forums.macrumors.com)
CurrentC allows me to expose all of my personal information to retailers so they can use it as they please! I love the ease of use of opening up my spending habits to retailers with no concern for my privacy. Future feature requests- * Please tie in my store Wi-Fi and location data so you can track every aspect of me in your store. * Please sell my data to your CurrentC partners * Better yet, sell my spending habits to junk mail companies -- I love unsolicited mail * Allow me to upload all of my contacts to your database so you can share all of your high-value brand recognition with my friends and family * I would like to see very large web ads within your app since I now have a larger phone screen size. * On occasion leak your cloud data about me to others to expose my details to as many other businesses and enterprising programmers in foreign lands. * Add a few more steps to the process of using the app for payment so I further enjoy the time it takes to stand at a check out line in a store.

Airplane Time! Stretch time while flying
Today in the middle of the flight from Portland to Amsterdam, I was unsatisfied with merely knowing what time it was in Portland and in Amsterdam. Instead, I wanted to know what time it effectively was in the airplane as I was flying, taking in to account the stretching of time by flying. My theory is by looking at "airplane time" and ignoring the origin and destination times completely, it may be easier to adjust to a new timezone since you won't have to trick yourself into ignoring your other clocks.continue reading...
