John: Part of the widget story for all of Apple’s OSes this fall is StandBy, an iPhone-only mode that displays widgets, a clock, or photos when your device is stationary and charging in landscape orientation.

Shell scripts as a poor man's AppImage
Shell scripts as a poor man's AppImage
I love applications that can be packaged as a single executable file. A lot of languages can create files like that now, including C, C++, Rust, Go, and even C#.

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S: Image comparison: Digital Photography Review
iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S: Image comparison: Digital Photography Review
Apple has shared a gallery of images from the new iPhone 5, one of which particularly caught our eye. Dpreview’s own Scott Everett just recently traveled to Big Sur in California, capturing with his iPhone 4S a nearly identical image of the coastline as that which Apple shared today in the iPhone 5 sample gallery. We thought we’d post the two side-by-side so that you can compare results from the iPhone 4S with those from the iPhone 5 yourself. We also take a look at the EXIF data for some interesting observations about sensor size and a new lower ISO.
