If you have apps purchased with different Apple IDs on an iOS device, and want to back up to iTunes: 1) Authorize each ID in iTunes 2) Transfer all purchases 3) Back up I *think* a restore will then restore all apps from all accounts. I hope. I pray.

Seeing a lot of +1x inflation in online comments: +100, +1000, etc. I like the enthusiasm but +1 derives from voting in Apache… 1 vote each!

Loving @GetEditorially — fantastic app. Asynchronous collaborative writing and editing using Markdown FTW!

Long-form asynchronous written communication FTW!

I’m on a Southwest flight from BWI to DEN, and the iPad to non-iPad tablet ratio looks to be roughly 3:1. Interesting.

Got a hardware keyboard for my iPad and I’m really enjoying the combination. I feel I should learn touch typing to really justify it though.
