TweetBot is not worth the price for me. It has great design, but lacks functionality.
I’ve been using Tweetbot for two months now on the Mac and I was very excited to get it. I was very happy with the iOS app and most users seem happy with the Mac app; so I jumped in too. After quite a bit of use, I have to say I don’t think it’s […]

Safari 7 & the New Webkit Inspector
Yesterday I wrote about how I was hoping for an awesome new Safari 7 at WWDC. The good news is that it was talked about, but it’s those little features like reopen closed tabs and private browsing that I won’t know about until I get to use it. I was informed however that the upgraded […]
