On iOS, Chrome seems to work better than Safari for very long posts.
... that is all.
Be sure to whitelist MeFi when using iOS 9 content blockers
Just a friendly reminder: if you're using one or more iOS devices, have upgraded to iOS 9 and have jumped on the new content blocking functionality bandwagon, remember to add your favorite sites to the whitelist(s) of the blocker(s) of your choice. I added MeFi and other frequently visited faves of mine, seeing that ads served here by The Deck are high quality and unintrusive, and no doubt important for keeping the site going.
Warning - do not buy this IOS Metafilter reading App
This app,
MetaReader ("an unofficial client for MetaFilter"), is a paid app and (at least under ios7) DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. It crashes on launch. I recently got a refund from iTunes. I did contact the seller via email and twitter two weeks ago and even sent a full crash log in an email but haven't heard anything back - which is why I asked Apple for (and got) a refund.
I decided to make a meta to warn others because I am no longer listed as owning the app - because refund - and so can't leave a review on itunes to warn the unsuspecting. [more inside]
Tim Cook quotes Blue Beetle
Apple CEO Tim Cook on user privacy:
A few years ago, users of Internet services began to realize that when an online service is free, you’re not the customer. You’re the product. But at Apple, we believe a great customer experience shouldn’t come at the expense of your privacy.
Old AskMe: if Apple had designed a car?
Within (I think) the last couple years, someone had asked in Ask MetaFilter something to the effect of, what new cars are the Apple products of cars? That is, what cars these are Apple-like in designs and details, quality of materials, user-friendliness, etc. I can't find this thread now—does anyone remember it? Thanks.
Immediate derail material
This is a way that many posts about independent games tend to go, where it is almost immediately sidetracked in to a discussion about Windows vs. everything else. Part of the solution is probably to put a windows only notification on the post, and part of the solution is probably just to move on without commenting if you're a mac user.
Give it a rest.
Can we just once have a thread about apple, that isn't Blazecock Pileon versus the world? [more inside]
The percentage of Mac users of MetaFilter
Is the percentage of MetaFilter visitors using OS X or iOS higher, lower, or equivalent to the 9.5% of computer users in general?

Apple wars
Trying to divert the ongoing derail about bias in apple criticism in this thread out of the blue, and into here. [more inside]
Haven't we all had enough?
Blazecock related iPad overflow
Blazecock Pileon's relentless browbeating of anyone who is not a cheerleader for Apple and general bad behaviour whenever Microsoft is mentioned in the iPad thread and others is becoming increasingly tiresome. [more inside]
Microsoft, LOL, OMG
This is so not even close to best of the web it's embarrassing. Microsoft, LOL, we get it.
No Pepsi blue?
How is it possible that there is no Apple post? Has there been a secret agreement to not shill that I missed? Is there a secret plot? I always enjoy the fireworks, and am missing them this Tuesday.
Yeah, I wish I had bought stock back then too.
The Keynote Index Fund. In which Matt asks "Is it possible to make money off the Apple keynote talks given by Steve Jobs?".
Green Deadication
Portland (OR) <3 Apple
It's an Apple town right to the core. That is the headline on an article in the (Portland) Oregonian.
The Woz on MeFi!
<nerdalert>omfg, the Woz is here! the Woz is here! </nerdalert>
Where's the line on product-related content?
MetaShillter: there's never been a deficit of accusations regarding the use of MeFi to push product. Many legitimate Best o' the Web posts contain product-related content. While it's clearly contra-Matt if you profit from a post, where's the fine line?
Safari Sidebars?
I'm a big fan of Safari. Any chance of Matt, or any other programmers here, creating a MeFi sidebar for this browser?
AppleFilter. It's a new pc. And it's faster. Hold me.

Rio post no different from Apple posts
I disagree with the deletion of the post comparing the Rio with other portable MP3 players. We see new Apple product announcements every couple of weeks here; this was no different.
Bashers
What's worse, an irrational Microsoft basher or an irrational Apple doubter?
Mac bloggers ahoy
I don't use blogger, so I don't know if this functionality exists elsewhere, but this looks pretty cool for blogger users on Mac OS 10.1.
