iPhone apps S/D

although it's not really that

try it out tho

it doesn't have "away"; am not gonna like it when this replaces the GMail one I think

I just got an iphone recently. Is there a easier way to transfer music than using iTunes? I can't seem to select individual songs or even albums, it insists on doing a complete artists discography when all I want is one record. Something that works in Windows 7 or OSX would be nice!

http://spotify.com

if it's shit you bought via itunes, you can just grab it directly from the itunes app on your device

iTunes lets you do individual songs or albums. Are you doing the auto-sync or manually managed? You can just drag songs or albums on to the iPhone if the latter

markers doesn't have an iPhone don't believe him

I've had only 12 songs on my iphkne ai

Shit.

I've had only 12 songs on my iPhone since I got it last September b/c I just can't bear dealing w/ iTunes.

Why the hell won't iphkne correct that typo? It clearly means iPhone.

It's clearly trying to humiliate you for talking shit.

Clearly.

Any recommendations for a long exposure (or bulb?) app?

Pocket vs Instapaper vs Readability, what do you use? (if any)

pocket for sync and iphone reading

readability on desktop to actually read long articles (does better job of formatting)

I use Safari reading list which has the killer feature of updating in the background

instapaper lol

hopefully the betaworks ppl will bring that to instapaper at some point thanks to ios 7

pocket for pretending im going to read things later

yeah, feedbin's been really speedy lately.

Have just found the Japanese keyboard's screenfuls of faces. Awes.

following st3ve st3za on twitter?

douglas adams would have loved those services

My damn screen is dark and resetting it isn't fixing it.

anyone fuck around w/ calca yet?

http://calca.io

oh man that's cute.

i think maybe it makes some sense on an ipad but i'm not writing pseudocode and markdown on an iphone.

would like to try it out on a mac but it's app store only, so fuck that.

tbh don't really feel like my life is missing an app that's lower level than soulver and higher level than a python prompt though.

and also the idea that symbolic algebra in worksheets is a new class of program (via j gruber) is nonsense btw

integrated units system tho, and inline google search.

but i agree i don't exactly have a use-case for it.

google search seems handy.

integrated units is definitely nice, and something i would use, although again not new. it's in soulver, mathematica and python, which i guess are the kinda alternatives for me.

Calca is pretty nice; much more useful than Soulver.

I kinda feel like there's a gap for something great here, something with the graphics and text processing of Mathematica, but without its hairy language, combined w/the Calca whole-sheet recalc, MPW's Commando and OneNote's type-anywhere.

I am not smart enough to figure out what it is, but I know I want it.

mathematica syntax in latest v is much easier with the wolfram alpha integration, can just type e.g. plot y=x and you're off

I "know someone" who has seen mathematica running on an iPad btw

so right now i have a dedicated white noise generator that sits under my bed. does anyone know of an ios (ipad) app that's a relatively simple _brown_ noise generator that also has a sleep timer? there's some complicated shit out there that can throw up all kinds of sounds and there's simply noise too but i'm wonder if anyone knows of anything else.

whaddya got going on in there markers

lol

all i want is an app that'd run for a few minutes: from about right before the time i get into bed or so until perhaps a little bit after i'm asleep.

Have you tried SimplyNoise? I've not tried it myself yet, but it looks like it will do the job.

Shite, didn't see you mentioned that one already

Buddha Machine? idk the difference between white and brown noise.

yeah Simply Noise looks like it does brown noise + sleep timer, that might be your best bet here.

you could make your own brown noise, that's what i do

is that a poop joke or

idgi?

I use Whitenoise by tmsoft.

thanks everyone. on the desktop it's http://simplynoise.com all the way.

some months back i bought a brown noise track from itunes that's not too long, and i guess i could just put that on and let it cut out to silence when it's done. i think i might try that. i looked at the budda machine though and i'll go check out jeff's thing too right now.

we use simply noise when we lived above a bar it worked great

there's a chance i might've actually found out about that from you. definitely helps me.

I had no idea

[Brown noise] decreases in power by 12 dB per octave (40 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall. See also purple noise, which is a 12 dB increase per octave.
