Twitter (and Facebook) applications from all my devices. I still tweet occasionally (using iOS/ Mac's Notification Center), but I make a point not to check the Twitter feed. I re-enabled email notifications for mentions and only log in to the web interface to reply to mentions/messages.

…and subsequent "Nevermind. I'm back!" of Bob Mansfield. The keeper of iOS, Scott Forstall, was given his walking papers because he wasn't a team player. Cook also hired John Browett, the former CEO of Dixons, to replace Ron Johnson as the head of retail stores. Nine months into the gig and Browett was out because "he wasn't a good fit".

Which brings us to Cook's latest executive hire : the guy who did a corny Mythbusters …

§ This might explain why we don't see people upgrading from IE 8 to 9, and from 9 to 10, in any significant number:

CocoaPods is making some serious inroads in creating reusable software packages, but I don't feel like it's enough. There's clearly no guidance or leadership from Apple on this issue, despite the amount of OSS projects written in Objective-C available.
