Okay, maybe there are no ethical smartphones. But some must be better than others, right?
Ethical Consumer, a UK organisation “researching and recording the social and environmental records of companies” since 1989, is a leader in evaluating products for their impact on human rights, animal rights, the environment, and other factors that might fall under the heading “ethics”. Its report on smartphones isn’t very positive, in general. It awards points from a possible score of 20, and nobody scores more than 10.5.
We were buried in an e-book when the subway doors opened at the Bergen Street stop in Brooklyn. In a flash, a pair of hands dove into my date’s lap and ripped away her iPad. Chasing the guy was instinctive. But he had a crew backing him up that I never saw. Instead of winning back the iPad, I found myself lying on the platform bleeding, my jaw split in half.
Nabbing electronic devices isn’t new. But lately it is growing “exponentially” according to a 2011 report from the New York Police Department.

They’re two different APIs. One is called “Open In…”. The other is “PhotoAppLink”. They’re both great hooks in photo apps that lets you bypass saving images to the camera roll and open the image directly in another app.
Both services get your image directly from one photo app to the next, bypassing the camera roll. When switching apps the user must save the edited image to the camera roll, quit the current app, launch the next and then load up the intermediate image before continuing to edit it. Not only does this cause version bloat in your camera roll, but repeated saving of a JPG can possibly add unwanted noise and artifacts to the image depending on the level of JPEG compression.
Review for Pair:
Great way to clarify where you stand
by Peter Gillette
I had never been able to find a clear way to say “it’s over” until now. Last week, I broke up from my long term girlfriend simply by using the “unpair” button. It saved a lot of pain and “talking,” since we conducted our entire relationship on Pair. It’s easy and painless
