woogle··on People (understandably) hate to register
As you said CloudKit provides a very efficient approach for this.

With CloudKit the app get an unique persistant identifier related to the iCloud account. The cons are it only works through Apple devices for now.

But if you have an iOS only app, it's so easy to identify the user through all his devices without asking him anything.

And if it loose his phone or use the app on another device, his CloudKit ID is persistant (and related to your app(s) only, not global).

woogle··on Your REST API should come with a client
Thanks! I though I was the only one.. The RESTful API is designed to be really simple for clients. If you designed yours well, your users won't need your client API.

For instance, on iOS we have the wonderful RestKit Client[0]. If you create your own client it means I would have to write specific cases for your API and miss all RestKit features. Don't get me wrong, I could still use the RestKit with your API, but when I see an API client available, I always think "this API may be bad designed, it needs specific code".

You're so right. I'm not even able to read descriptions on my iPhone. I prefer to have a regular desktop site that I can zoom on, than a bugged responsive one which crop content...
woogle··on Today was the last day of Nokia as we knew it
Melancholia, an ode to Nokia.

  Playing Snake until the death.
  While some create ringtones.
  It was an unbreakable phone.
  I'll remember 'til my last breath.

Wrong. You should read further US money processes topic, you'll be surprised.
woogle··on Why Does Backspace Go Back A Page?
Because you're not in VIM and text input actions shouldn't be used as shortcuts. Or be consistent and use every letters of your keyboard as shortcuts without Ctrl (or CMD) combination..
woogle··on Why Does Backspace Go Back A Page?
I think the biggest problem here is a context one. When you use a shortcut inside a software, you don't (usually) think about the field focused. As I, like most of us here, use an IDE or a code editor every day, I think best context-free shortcuts involve more than one special key.

Even the alt + arrow shortcut is a bad idea because it mean "go to the beginning of the word" in Mac OS. I had very bad issue with the CMD + Arrow in my Chrome, because when I type I don't use the mouse.

Ctrl + CMD + Arrow is the perfect shortcut for me (and I think, for every XCode users).

woogle··on Liquidfun – 2D physics engine for games
Every time I see code.google.com my brain anticipates the pain and it actually hurts. Please don't do that again. Even Google is using Github now.
woogle··on Firefox 28 Release Notes
I'm wondering too. FF13 seems the best with "slim" numbers.
