The best responses to Stephen Hawking's latest...
I’m going to keep updating this list of the best responses from religious diehards I’ve seen on Twitter and other places to Stephen Hawking’s latest claim that a god is not necessary to explain the origin of the universe, just because I find them entertaining.
(New entries are added to the top of the list, by the way).

The Tapbots Multitasking Workaround
Tapbots, if you haven’t heard of them (which I found doubtful), are an iOS application development company run by designer Mark Jardine and programmer Paul Haddad. I’ve had the pleasure of beta testing a few of their applications, and I own and love everything they’ve created to date.
That said, my favorite application of theirs thus far is Pastebot, which allows you to sync...

On Jailbreaking and JailbreakMe.com
As you’re probably aware (because if you’re reading this, you probably follow me on Twitter, and if you follow me on Twitter, you’re either delusional and think I’m funny or you’re interested in Apple stuff), jailbreaking the iPhone has been ruled legal and a new vulnerability in iOS’ PDF reader has been exploited for the second web-based iDevice jailbreak so...

Block-based UIAlertViews
Using UIAlertViews gets a bit annoying. You basically have to instantiate one and configure it, set its delegate to something that implements the UIAlertViewDelegate protocol.

Deciding who to follow
A lot of you ask me on Twitter, “WAI WUNT U FOLLAW ME????” and I never seem to have a good answer. This is because the people I follow on Twitter must meet a level of very fuzzily-defined criteria that I myself am not entirely sure of.
As a response, I came up with a formula that weights various aspects of a single tweet and based on those computes a tweet value. A program samples...
