Rene Ritchie writes for iMore about difference between Apple and Samsung:

To align everything along the edge of a device takes designing and mounting the boards in a certain way, and the ports and speakers, and the buttons and jacks, and the grills and every other detail so they all line up at exactly the right place at the end. Painstaking is likely an understatement.

Is it worth the effort? For me, as a customer, knowing that Apple had the consideration and took the time and effort to align their hardware speaks to the overall quality of their work. It reassures me that the same consideration and effort were likely spent making sure not a millimeter nor milliamp of battery space was wasted, not a nanometer of die, not a gap left around the screen, or a dead zone in the capacitive sensor.

And he sums everything about Samsung’s product design in one sentences:

Almost nothing is aligned.

Brett Terpstra always come with some tips to speed up your workflow. If you haven’t follow his blog yet then now you should.

A few weeks ago I wrote about how to chaining Things and web automation service IFTTT. This workaround comes because I have to use PC at work and since my choice app of GTD is Things then I need to sort this problem out. Even I can pick up my iPhone and write down the task directly to Things inbox, it’s not a pleasant things to do.

This post explains why some of popular iOS apps and games aren’t available for Android platform. This problem also reveal why App Store revenue is bigger than Google Play Store¹. You can read the blog post and it has good explanation why it matters.

Mat Gemmell has 5 reasons why dated url on blog is horrible. Furthermore I love how he takes on it:

A blog doesn’t have to be a diary. There doesn’t have to be an explicit or implied chronology, with the attendant ephemerality and fading relevance that date-focused organisation brings. If you want it, great - it’s there. But opt in.

I think I’ll get rid of it soon too.

Another fascinating essays by Matt Gemmell:

I’ve been trying to let go. It’s a work in progress, and it probably always will be, but I’m trying.

I’m looking for focus, and freedom from noise. More than that, I’m looking for stability; a metaphorical place where I have a chance of doing my best work.

I’m distracted by my interests, but that’s fine. What’s not fine is that I’m also distracted by things I might think are interesting at the time, but are really just opportunities to procrastinate.

I find this gems this morning and I think it’s worth to read. My favorite part of this blog post is:

It goes beyond that, though. I’m letting go of people, too. I think it’s OK to let people pass you by. Difficult people, demanding people, and people who impose too high a cost against the benefit they provide - or even just people that you can’t reasonably help.

Twitterrific also gets updated with Apple Watch support.

Twitterrific’s glance gives you a fun, visual digest of the total number of favorites, retweets and new followers you’ve received over the past 24 hours. Think of it as a lightweight version of the Today View from the iOS app. It also displays the number of unread tweets currently waiting for you the next time you launch the iOS app. Note that Twitterrific’s push notifications (available as a one-time in-app purchase) are needed to take full advantage of the app’s features on Apple Watch.

I’ve used Twitterific several times on iOS. There’s no doubt that it’s a great apps but let me wait till Tapbots update their Twitter client, Tweetbot 3 to support the watch¹.

My favorite app for journaling gets updated to support Apple Watch. This will make journaling easier and maybe some people don’t need any reminder to log their journal (hey, that’s me!)

Seems interesting, let’s try!
