In my experience, the amplification that this adapter provides is not enough for larger headphones.

It is currently only available in the US and China as far as I can see (UK here).

Unified S-band (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_S-band) its a system for tracking the craft and communicating with it.

That article refers to the iPhone 6 which has only a marginal increase in battery size to offset the extra draw from the larger screen.

The iPhone 6 Plus (the one hellweaver666 is referring to) is the one with the much larger battery.

Destroying those components would render the machine useless without external inputs and outputs, maybe their intention was simply just to disable the machine, executed in a rather odd manner.

Here is a copy of the email I received:

We apologize for the significant inconvenience caused by our developer website downtime. We've been working around the clock to overhaul our developer systems, update our server software, and rebuild our entire database. While we complete the work to bring our systems back online, we want to share the latest with you.

We plan to roll out our updated systems, starting with Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Apple Developer Forums, Bug Reporter, pre-release developer libraries, and videos first. Next, we will restore software downloads, so that the latest betas of iOS 7, Xcode 5, and OS X Mavericks will once again be available to program members. We'll then bring the remaining systems online. To keep you up to date on our progress, we've created a status page to display the availability of our systems.

If your program membership is set to expire during this period, it will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account, please contact us.

Thank you for your continued patience.

The article states that the website is back up but as of now 24/07 11:08GMT that is not the case.

This is terrible timing for me since I came back from travelling on Thursday and haven't been able to get on with working in iOS 7. I really wish Apple were able to provide us with more information on time-scales.

Hmm every .io domain on this page has worked for me even if I've never visited them before. Maybe my ISP (VirginMedia) has cached the records.

Remember not everyone can afford the latest beast of a machine that can accommodate 16GB RAM, some people still have laptops that can hold a maximum of 4GB by design limitation; it's more likely to be those people worrying about Chrome's RAM usage.

Before, I would never consider moving to Android after having used the iPhone since it came out and invested a reasonable amount of money in iOS Apps. Now, I'm considering a switch as for me, the maps app was one of the most useful things on the phone for finding my way once I had become lost, out on my bike.

Apple really has done a bad job on the maps for my area just north of London in the UK. Towns are mislabelled, villages will have their label shown while zoomed out, while larger towns won't be labeled at all on any zoom level.

Google may do well to hold out on making their maps accessible iOS6 to try and bring current previous generation iPhone users over to their operating system and its devices.

Fez started development over 4 years ago when steam wasn't as big for indies as it is now, they probably signed an agreement back then giving exclusivity to Microsoft for a period of time after initial release on XBLA in return for some promotion.

According to their website, they provide 'offensive exploit services' to governments and intelligence services. So possibly, depending on wether you view those people as bad people.

It looks like they provide some information at the top of the search results if your search term include the words earthquake or tsunami.

Nice, I was wondering if the name had any link to the town, which isn't too far from me.

Domestic water pipes often have holes in them, relying on the pressure of the water in the pipe to not let any polluted water get in, if the water pressure dropped as a result of the leak then the dirty water can enter the pipes.

Have you any evidence of any of those things actually happening? The only thing on there that is true is that their website got hacked back in Sept.

I thought it was meant to be a battery with the message giving you more power to do your tasks?

Fire at their datacenter apparently, they're waiting to be allowed back in by the fire department to initiate the emergency plan. Lets hope its not going to be too long an outage.

I know I've not been able to access Pandora for years in the UK maybe they've just not been able to negotiate a decent deal in France where the author says they used to use it.

These stats are taken before the busiest period for the iPlayer (over Christmas) so I imagine they doubled the statistics for christmas day.

The BBC also created their own framework which they named Perl on Rails to adapt between Ruby on Rails which is used for their internal web apps and the perl code base of the main site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2007/11/perl_on_rails.s...

They were using the Mosso cloud too and the problems seemed to happen at the Mosso end which is rather disappointing.

It was a fantastic sight last night, made me go out for a walk it was so perfect.

I really dislike facebook (the new walled garden) so I'm still all for OpenID which is far more open.

Its a shame its a US only application, last.fm app is working well though

Yeah, I agree here and was disappointed with this decision. Out of the window goes the simplicity everyone aims for on the web.

This isn't necessarily true, as noted in the Joel's tale: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=228298

Bill gates was very involved with the code and structure of Microsoft's early software and this article basing its judgement of the two people on one email from Gates isn't exactly solid evidence that Gates was necessarily like that in person.

On OS X I find safari starts in less than a second, though it doesn't have a full library of addons like firefox.

Although FF3 has had a great boost in its performance and load times for web pages, the WebKit nightlies kick its ass IMO.

And again, the mac theme isn't quite right with non-native menus etc.

Usually when I downvote its by accident, from me meaning t upvote but miss, really annoys me.

Only legit things I would downvote would be trolls.

Its actually £100 for the 8GB from their website: http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone

Its £1.34 a litre where I am (more or less $10 a gallon) yet public transport usage has more or less remained the same, people have instead opted to just travel less.
