I'd expect better etiquette from The Verge
Earlier today a friend of mine tweeted about The Verge’s post “Watch all 84 iPhone commercials in one place”.
When I opened the article I was expecting to see 84 thumbnails for iPhone commercials – instead, all I found was a short paragraph and one embedded YouTube video.
I looked around for the rest of the commercials and couldn’t find them.
I checked the two links...

An interview with Mark Jardine
Right before Tapbots launched Tweetbot for iPad (and Tweetbot 2), I had the privilage of asking Mark a few questions.
Of course after seeing the release I decided to bother Mark again with some slightly updated questions, touching on their latest product, Tweetbot for iPad.

I first learned of Flickr’s upcoming makeover from Shawn King’s post on The Loop.
Jim links to Betabeat’s article “Flickr Is Getting a Major Makeover” which provides more detail about the upcoming changes:

Cancel Video Recording on iOS
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could?
It get’s really annoying when you’re filming things – for example something that you’re trying to get just right (e.g. that perfect skateboard trick) and you end up with fifteen “junk” videos in your iPhone Camera Roll.
Oftentimes you’re only a second or two into a video recording when you realize you want to trash it. It’d be awesome if there was a...

I say legitimately because there were apps shticks from day one in the App Store that produced a solid white screen, aka “flashlight”.
There’s an endless supply of Flashlight apps in the App Store (some paid) that will turn on the iPhone LED light when...
