![]() Tweetbot 4 wants to bring that excitement back. It’s a grim landscape, devoid of the excitement and curiosity that surrounded Twitter clients five years ago. On the other hand, Twitter for iPad – long ignored by the company – has emerged again with a stretched-up iPhone layout presented in the name of “consistency”. Tweetbot for iPad is, effectively, two years behind other apps on iOS, which, due to how things turned out at Twitter, haven’t been able to do much anyway. Tweetbot is no longer the champion of Twitter clients for iPad, having skipped an entire generation of iOS design and new Twitter features. Three years later, that bar’s still there, a bit dusty and lonely, pondering a sad state of affairs. Tapbots could have done more, but Tweetbot for iPad raised the bar for Twitter clients for iPad in early 2012. The result was a powerful Twitter client that wasn’t afraid to experiment with the big screen: Tweetbot for iPad featured a flexible sidebar for different orientations, tabs in profile views, popovers, and other thoughtful touches that showed how an iPhone client could be reshaped in the transition to the tablet. While Twitter stalled innovation in their iPad app, Tapbots doubled down and brought everything that power users appreciated in Tweetbot for iPhone and reimagined it for the iPad. Until Twitter ruined it and sucked all the genius out of it, the original Twitter for iPad was a true iPad app.Īnd then came Tweetbot. I was in love with the app, and I still think it goes down in software history as one of the finest examples of iPad app design. The app employed swipes and taps for material interactions that treated the timeline as a stack of cards, with panels you could open and move around to peek at different sets of information. The original Twitter for iPad, developed by Tweetie creator and pull-to-refresh inventor Loren Brichter, showed a company at the top of their iOS game, with a unique reinterpretation of Twitter for the iPad’s canvas. And yet, I’ve always felt like most companies had ever nailed Twitter clients for a 10-inch multitouch display. Functionally, that was mostly okay, and to this day some very good Twitter apps for iPad still resemble their iPhone versions. Many took the easy route, scaling up their iPhone interfaces to fit a larger screen with no meaningful alteration to take advantage of new possibilities. Largely because of the economic realities of Twitter clients, few developers ever invested in a Twitter app for iPad that wasn’t a cost-effective adaptation of its iPhone counterpart. Not exactly the best conditions to create a Twitter client for a brand new platform. ![]() Less than a year after the original iPad’s launch (and the Tweetie acquisition), Twitter advised developers to stop building clients that replicated the core Twitter experience a year later, they started enforcing the 100,000-token limit that drove some developers out of business. Four years into that shift, no major change appears to be in sight.įor this reason, I’d argue that while the iPhone witnessed the rise of dozens of great Twitter clients in their heyday, the iPad’s 2010 debut played against its chances to receive an equal number of Twitter apps specifically and tastefully designed for the device. Twitter reclaimed their keys to the playground when they began offering “guidance” on the “best opportunities” available to third-party developers. Developing a Twitter client used to be an exercise in taste and restraint – a test for designers and developers who sought to combine the complex networking of Twitter with a minimalist, nimble approach best suited for a smartphone. There have only been two great Twitter apps for iPad since 2010: Loren Brichter’s Twitter, and the original Tweetbot for iPad.Īs I reminisced last year in my look at the state of Twitter clients, iOS apps for Twitter are no longer the welcoming, crowded design playground they once were. Tension was also developing between Gene Clark and the rest of the Byrds due to the higher level of income he was receiving as the band's principal songwriter. Crosby had brought the self-penned "Stranger in a Strange Land" (later released by Blackburn & Snow) and "The Flower Bomb Song", along with Dino Valenti's "I Don't Ever Want to Spoil Your Party" (later released by Quicksilver Messenger Service as "Dino's Song") to the recording sessions, but all three songs were rejected and remained unreleased at the time. Rhythm guitarist David Crosby was particularly vocal in his disapproval, since he felt McGuinn and Melcher (along with the band's manager Jim Dickson) were conspiring to keep his songs off the album. The recording of the album was not without its tensions, with several members of the band expressing feelings of resentment towards the close working relationship that was beginning to form between McGuinn and producer Terry Melcher. The band then briefly considered issuing a version of Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin'" as a single instead, but this idea was also discarded, although the song does appear on Turn! Turn! Turn! The song finally selected by the band for their third single was Pete Seeger's "Turn! Turn! Turn!", a musical adaptation of words taken from the Biblical Book of Ecclesiastes, which would return the group to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Initially, the band elected to record a third Bob Dylan cover, " It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", as their next single, but, despite a couple of attempts to record the song in June and August 1965, it was ultimately rejected. Despite being such an influential band, the Byrds had been disappointed with the relative lack of success that their second single "All I Really Want to Do" had achieved on the American charts and felt they needed a strong third single to maintain their foothold in the marketplace. By the latter half of 1965, the folk rock trend the band had been instrumental in originating was gaining pace, with hit records by the likes of Cher, the Turtles, We Five, and Barry McGuire clearly bearing the hallmarks of the Byrds' influence. Tambourine Man" and " All I Really Want to Do", the Byrds entered Columbia Studios in Hollywood on June 28, 1965, to set about recording their follow-up album. In the wake of the international success of their debut album and the hit singles " Mr. It would be the last Byrds' album to feature the full participation of Gene Clark until the release of the original quintet's 1973 reunion album, Byrds. The album included two Bob Dylan covers: " The Times They Are a-Changin'" and the then-unreleased song, " Lay Down Your Weary Tune". On Turn! Turn! Turn!, McGuinn's contributions to songwriting increased and rhythm guitarist David Crosby received his first writing credit on a Byrds' album, but the band's prolific songwriter Gene Clark still contributed most of the original material. Another single taken from the album, " Set You Free This Time", was less successful and failed to break into the top 50 in the U.S. The "Turn! Turn! Turn!" single preceded the album by two months and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and went to number 11 in the United Kingdom. ![]() The album's lead single and title track, " Turn! Turn! Turn!", which was adapted by Pete Seeger from text in the Book of Ecclesiastes, had previously been arranged in a chamber-folk style by the Byrd's lead guitarist Jim McGuinn for folk singer Judy Collins' third album, but the arrangement he used for the Byrds' recording of the song utilizes the same folk-rock style as the band's previous hit singles. Tambourine Man, the album epitomized the folk rock genre and continued the band's successful mix of vocal harmony and jangly twelve-string Rickenbacker guitar. Turn! Turn! Turn! is the second studio album by American rock band the Byrds, released on December 6, 1965, by Columbia Records. ![]() ![]() Cover of the 1977 Embassy Records reissue (CBS 31526) ![]() This feature is only available in Flash 8 or higher versions.

Who has access to the database or even the connection details? When was the last time they were audited by a third party? These are things I don’t want to think about when I create a text snippet.Īn obvious question is: Do I trust Dropbox. I wonder how they document their security roles and what their schedule is for a pen-test. I look at their software and the bugs I stumble over, then I think about what that means for their back-end design. When it comes down to it, I just don’t trust every developer to be good at securing my data even if I like their apps. Risk of trusting amateurs is not worth the returned value of convenience. I have addresses, phone numbers, names, and server connection strings. My snippets are mostly dumb but not entirely benign. 3 The requirement for syncing through their service does not fit my needs. My real issue with the new TextExpander is similar to my issue with YNAB and Day One. I get very little in return for what I consider to be a high cost. The TextExpander service, the YNAB service, and even the new Day One are not a value to me. ![]() I don’t understand markets but I do understand value. I now pay $20 for a digital copy of a movie and $10 for delivery of a physical copy of the same movie. I’ve also accepted that things cost different amounts than I am accustom to. Charity app-buying does not seem like a sustainable model but I’m probably a bad person. Write into blogs and tell them how great it is. If you want to insure the continued existence of a particular piece of software then it’s much better to advertise for them. I disagree with most arguments about supporting developers. There are plenty of really excellent charities in the world that do a lot of good with a dollar. I do not buy software out of charity but I do pay for software out of fairness. It’s a difficult market and an upgrade needs to be amazing but will still get slammed in reviews. The mainstream market will pay for jewels and tokens before they buy an app upgrade. Most “normies” don’t want to pay for software even once, let alone pay for updates. I’d happily buy another version now for full price. I bought the last TextExpander upgrade sight unseen just a year ago. I buy multiple copies when it’s convenient. I buy almost every app I have ever reviewed on this site. If it’s still installed when an upgrade comes out, then I buy it. I buy every version of most of my currently installed software. 2 A Few Words About Money, Charity, and Support They can call it what they want and I can call it what I want. It’s pedantic and probably wrong but it’s how my mind keeps track of value. When I rent, I get an access and usage permission but I get nothing to keep. I think of a subscription as a recurring fee for ownership. They call it a subscription model but I’m going to call it app renting. Smile has a new business model for TextExpander 6. The TE keyboard on iOS was the only one I trusted to give “full access.” Even though the iOS keyboard always felt slow and outdated I still loved the app for its syncing and integration across all the apps I used. Each year, the iOS version felt more neglected but the integration with other apps was incredible. Even when the more powerful Keyboard Maestro added typed-text triggers, I stuck by TE because I liked how it worked. I’ve been an ardent fan of TextExpander (TE) for as long as I can remember. Michael Tsai has a tremendous round up of opinions.Įveryone has an opinion. This post at Practically Effecient considers why we pay for software at all.

While I may be cranky, I’m not all that self-important. I dislike wading into battles of opinion. However, some experts worry about such an early-stage diagnosis, suggesting it may result in overdiagnosis. Of course, mood swings as you age aren’t an automatic indicator that dementia is on the horizon. The mild behavioral impairment diagnosis requires symptoms to last for at least six months and be a fundamental change, according to Ismail. Autopsies even show these types of patients had much more brain damage, he noted. Zahinoor Ismail, a neuropsychiatrist at the University of Calgary and one of the researchers involved with the new diagnosis. Full-blown dementia approaches much more quickly when someone has mild cognitive impairment alongside mood or behavior changes. In fact, identifying major behavioral changes as early signs of dementia is crucial. The latter was established over 10 years ago for those with some cognitive issues but who can still perform most day-to-day tasks. Under the proposal, the mild behavioral impairment assessment and diagnosis would come before mild cognitive impairment. She wasn’t involved in creating the checklist or proposing the new diagnosis, but she asserts years of research have proven Alzheimer’s affects behavior alongside memory. “I think we do need something like this,” Nina Silverberg, director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Centers program at the National Institute on Aging, told The New York Times. – Does she/he have unrealistic beliefs about her/his power, wealth or skills? – Does the person lack the social judgment she/he previously had about what to say or how to behave in public or private? – Has she/he become unreasonably or uncharacteristically argumentative? – Has the person become more anxious or worried about things that are routine? – Does she/he no longer care about anything? ![]() ![]() This serves to help identify people at greater risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The potential diagnosis is called “mild behavioral impairment,” preceding memory and thinking problems that go hand-in-hand with dementia. Changes like persistent social withdrawal, angry outbursts and anxiety accompany it.Īlong with this new diagnosis, a group of neuropsychiatrists and other experts proposed a 34-question checklist. In recent years, researchers have focused on the ways certain behavioral changes may act as early warnings signs for Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Occasional forgetfulness can often be written off as “senior moments,” but consistent changes in behavior may actually be the first signs of dementia. ![]() If you want to know as much as your head can comfortably hold, and you do not want to read an entire shelf of your local library to do it, then this book is a must. But if the reader is willing to work his way through these chapters he finds that he will come out the wiser, and that the next chapter, perhaps one on the next military campaign, will be better understood in itself because the larger context has been appreciated.How James McPherson (no relation to the Union general of that name) was able to do this is nothing short of astonishing, a kind of scholarly and artistic legerdemain that allows so much to be packed into so short a space. There are periods, especially when delving into some of the voting and politicking, the changes of party affiliations, voting data, etc., that get somewhat tedious. Battle Cry of Freedom does what would appear to be the impossible: it includes virtually everything of consequence about the war and continues to hold the reader's interest. I took a chance on this book and now that I have finished it I have to say that it is all that I could have hoped for. To the contrary, the battles remain central and are accompanied by helpful maps. And this book did not give short shrift to the battles. Then I found this book: a single volume that encompasses the entire conflict from its military and political antecedents to the economic and sociological ingredients that forced the Union to enter into a war that would change forever the face of democracy. Plus I had to admit that it was the battles that interested me the most, and I despaired of having to read a separate book or two on each of the dozens of battles that are considered "major" during those four years. I had no desire to immerse myself in some three or four volume 2000-page work because, aside from believing myself unable to keep everything in perspective and not to get bogged down in minutiae, I reasoned that plain laziness and attention span problems would keep me from ever finishing anything like that. But I was daunted by the plethora of information on the American Civil War. I found that I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding that battle, the situation of the two armies, the generals, the politicians, and the state of the economies of the two sides engaged. I read this book after having read two other books on the Battle of Gettysburg. As such, it is vital reaading for anyone interested in the War and its effect on American History. What McPherson has done is place the great painting of the war in a proper frame to give one the whole picture. This fact often gets lost in the tales of epic battles, almost mythical generals and incredible sacrifice. McPherson would rather focus on why the North ans South decided to fight it out and once they did, how the war evolved slowly from an attempt to put down an insurrection to a holy quest to end slavery.No other period in American History has seen as many political changes of earthquake proportions as The Civil War. But there are countless other volumes by other authors available for those whose interest primarily lies with the shooting war itself. His descriptions of the battles themselves tend to be brief overviews rather than extensive studies. As a result, his book gives the war a proper context that is lacking in many other works. For example, McPherson spends nearly the first three hundred pages of the book on the events, political and otherwise, leading up to the firing on Fort Sumter. James McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" is the best work on the politics of The Civil War available. |
