Posted 12 weeks ago

Keep Your Social Current After working with the HTML5 history API for the launch of You Rather, I hit a snag with keeping social widgets current. The content and URL would update, but the Like button would stick to the original document location.

YRDropdownView – A Polite UIAlertView Alternative for iOS

Posted 4 months ago

UIKit’s Shortcomings From day one, iOS developers have been struggling to alert users about simple warnings and errors that may not interrupt the flow of the app. Popping up UIAlertViews requires the user to click a button to move along, which wasn’t quite necessary for warnings that merely limit useability.

Posted 15 days ago

PHP 5.3.12/5.4.2 do not fix all variations of the CGI issues described in CVE-2012-1823. It has also come to our attention that some sites use an insecure cgiwrapper script to run PHP.
