They might turn out in droves because he offered a $30,000 dollar prize for solving a puzzle in his app "Puzzlloto". Which has been pulled from the app store...
No lies involved. We got an email at Wired about the phone (pre-Gizmodo story) and ignored it. After the story we came back to the email, I looked it up on Google, found his real name associated to a post on a forum, searched it on Facebook and, for some very odd reason, he accepted a friends request from me.
I guess the lesson here is not to talk (or accept friends requests) from strangers.
You dishonestly pretended to be interested in friendship with someone and you tell us that he lesson is not to accept friendship requests from strangers?
I take the lesson as "Beware, even the nicest people will rationalize dishonesty."
Yep. Or Windows Mobile (shudder). They all got in-page search. How that got left out of the Safari design is beyond me.
The other thing that got left out is the ability to scroll to the bottom of the page - there is scroll to top, but no scroll to bottom (a real problem on long pages - it may be practically impossible to flick your way to the bottom of a long page). So, I made another app - "End Of Page" - this one's totally free and hits the App Store on Friday (Apple willing, of course).
