WordPress For iPhone Gets Improved Comment Management, But Video Support M.I.A.
WordPress.org has announced an update to WordPress for iPhone.
The update is focused on improved comment moderation, including:
- Reply to Comments
- Edit Comments
- Highlighting the new items in the comment list
Missing in action are the spiffy vlogging features introduced last week in WordPress For BlackBerry.
While iPhone users may be envious of the BlackBerry WordPress editor, the improved comment moderation features are probably are more critical for most.
The update is available now in iTunes. WordPress for iPhone is a free, open source application.

Mets' Citi Field to become more homer-friendly next season; center-field wall gets chopped to 8 feet
The height of Citi Field's center-field wall will be sliced in half, making the ballpark more homer-friendly, the Daily News has learned. Last season, the wall measured 16 feet in front of the sparsely used Home Run Apple. Now, it will measure eight feet in the middle of the outfield.

Apple iPad Set To Dominate $20 Billion Tablet Industry
Tablet computers are going to be a $20 billion industry by 2014, and the Apple iPad is well-positioned to dominate it, predicts research firm In-Stat.
According to In-Stat:
- The Total Available Market for tablets will be about 50 million in 2014.
- Mainstream tablets should be in the $400-$500 range.
- Apple is the only company that will offer an entire solution that includes content and applications.
“Tablets have quickly become a high priority for competitors across the value chain, including mobile operators,” says Jim McGregor, In-Stat analyst. “Even more important, is that the opportunity in tablets is complementary to other mobile devices, particularly smartphones and netbooks.”
In-Stats’ view on the iPad and the tablet computer market is much rosier than that of many analysts. But they accurately point out that, if tablet computing does take off, Apple is positioned to have a complete solution years ahead of other companies.
Do you think that the market for tablet computers in 2014 will be anywhere near the 50 million that In-Stat predicts?

Use some Mail rules on an as-needed basis via the keyboard
If you've ever explored the possible actions offered by Mail's rules, you've probably wished that you could apply some of them to any message on command. For example, you might want to move the selected messages to one mailbox or another at the press of a hotkey, or to replicate Eudora's labels by changing the text color of messages in their mailboxes (Mail's GUI only allows changing their background color, which I dislike as much as OS X's Finder labels).
The problem is that Mail's rules are intended to run automatically on incoming or outgoing emails, so such "manual" rules cannot easily coexist with automatic rules. The good news is that it's very easy to work around that conflict using AppleScript and Keyboard Maestro.
The trick is to group the "manual" rules at the top of the list, end each of them with with 'Stop evaluating rules,' and to keep them disabled so they won't interfere with automatic rules. To ru...

Use normal and private browsing at the same time in Firefox
I had always thought that Chrome's method of private browsing, which allows you to intermingle private and normal browsing in separate windows/tabs, was better than Safari or Firefox, which are an all-or-nothing proposition. Now Firefox, at least, can emulate Chrome's behavior.
With the Firefox add-on Private Browsing Window, the user can have private and normal browsing windows simultaneously. This can be used for things other than simply secure browsing, too. You could, for instance, log into two Gmail accounts simultaneously, or test a web app using two different accounts in one browser.

Create RSS feeds for Google searches (with Google!)
This isn't really Mac-specific, but it's very useful. There are a lot of reasons people like/want to create RSS feeds for Google searches (e.g. for their name, so they see when something new comes up). However, most of the ways out there for making feeds are very unreliable, available for Windows only, quickly out-of-date, and/or cumbersome. So here's a foolproof way using Google's own services.
This is very simple -- in fact, it involves using Google Alerts. All you have to do is create a new alert for the search you wish to create a feed for, then edit it. Click the Deliver To pop-up and select Feed instead of Email. This gives you an RSS feed that can be either directly added to Google Reader, or viewed in any RSS reader you wish to use.
[robg adds: This works; just make sure you save and verify the alert first, then you can edit it to turn it into an RSS feed.]

Use trackpad/mouse gestures in Xcode
Xcode now has gesture support to quickly switch between files. For instance, you can switch between the .h and .m file with a three-finger upward swipe. A three-finger side-to-side swipe puts you back or forward in the file history.

Mozilla Puts Tiger Out To Pasture
Barence writes "Mozilla is ready to exorcise support for Mac OS X 10.4 from Firefox's development code, closing the door on Apple's aging OS. The foundation stopped supporting 10.4, codenamed Tiger, in September 2009, but, according to Josh Aas, a Mozilla platform engineer, 'we left much of the code required to support that platform in the tree in case we wanted to reverse that decision." We had come to a point where we need to make a final decision and either restore 10.4 support or remove this (large) amount of 10.4 specific code,' he notes on the Mozilla developer planning forum."

Apple, Google, and the importance of Bing
