  • Don’t Put Your Web Aesthetic in My iPad

    What’s wrong with the picture above? My beef with it is that it’s a page from the new iPad edition of MacLife magazine — they’ve just launched a free “zero” issue — but it looks like pretty much any blog post, with it’s row of “social sharing” icons. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely want…
