New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

Bailed on Instapaper for the superior Pocket a couple months ago.

lol

Betaworks, that company that owns Digg now, just bought Instapaper, that app you use to read articles on the bus. This is exciting, because Betaworks has done a very nice job with Digg—but now Instapaper creator Marco Arment will have more time to tweet about his BMW.

Pocket is the better app, Instapaper is the better article parser. Pocket does a shit job sometimes.

There is space for both in my life: Pocket is great for all non-text stuff to check later (videos, mp3 embeds, flash doodles) - Instapaper for serious reading.

Ack, I use Instapaper every day pretty much. I like that it's not really multi-functional - I don't need it to do other things.

Basically as long as they don't change a thing I'll be happy.

ya i dont want videos in my instapaper

the present app is good & won't be auto-deleted off my phone so it's ok with me if a new v sucks

im the present, the true instapaper

the app depends on the webserver though, right? so keeping the old app may not help.

hmm I guess that's right, damn

was thinking that it just dl'd directly to IPHONE but yeah it goes through the webpage

I can always use reading list!!!!!

Just tried Pocket out of interest. Too much snazz, damnit

luckily the digg owners are known for their impeccable taste, so that's not something instapaper users will have to worry about

tbf, news.me is good

wth

no wonder ppl have no idea what I'm talking about when I msg them, the "Obama" is getting cut off

it's not that i can't say 'surprise' correctly, it's my phone that keeps cutting it off

Hahahaha yesssssss they have been caught by their own shitty string length calculations. This bug has been the single hardest thing about zing since the start

I was going to say, thinking this has anything to do with particular words or phrases is pretty far off

i use readability as a browser plugin/app. never tried instapaper, but readability seems fine?

i like the flattening on the podcast app, but i wonder why they need so many people to flatten things.

totally to the first part of your post

Too many awful analyst quotes in that one IMO.

i'm just picturing ive in a straw hat in a vineyard gesturing at engineers to take off their shoes and flatten apps with their bare feet. richard attenborough turns to the camera and says, "I spared no expense."

i finally got a 160gig ipod today

:D
:D
:D

I was down to unchecking stuff in itunes becuase my 80 was all fulled up

yayyyy

god i hope they don't can it this year

that would be a big deal, but i'm not sure you have to worry just yet

yeah, closer to september maybe

guh I had a whole weird thing happen where it wouldn't let me eject my ipod because 'it was in use by another program'... unchecked manual disk use, disabled antivirus, still no go, had to force eject through explorer.

idk man, itunes has been acting funky for a little while now...I dunno if it's upgrades in antivirus software or changes in the itunes behaviour? had some weird interference from the antivirus a while back where i opened up my itunes and it showed like, 30% of my files and they were all saved to the cloud. Mr Veg managed to fix it and then a few weeks later it happened again.

so weird. makes me uneasy.

sorry maybe this is not the thread for that kind of discussion

you're on windows right?

yep

can't help with your second problem, sorry :(

just venting more than anything

(sort of pointless replying 3 months later, but…) back @dan some time back, re 27" iMac - sure we calibrated it, broke out our new i1 gear. basically iMac when calibrated is still poor compared to pro units (yes we had an eizo in to compare) and the glossy shine still distracts picking up stuff from around you (behind you!) and it's all totally subverted by brightness controls anyway
