iOS5: Removing the cancel button on ABPeoplePickerNavigationController
When using the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController or any of the view controllers in the Address Book framework I kept getting a cancel button placed on the right hand side of the navigation bar which I could not remove. This was obviously an extremely annoying problem and creating the same interaction that you get on the iPhone contacts app was not possible.

Windows 8 changing the game?
Windows 8 does seem like a genuine attempt to bring something new to the table from Microsoft but will they pull it off? In the past Microsoft’s shameless attempt to copy Apple was a completely flawed strategy epitomised by the failure of Vista and the Zune.

Preparing images for iPhone App deployment with Photoshop
As a mobile developer preparing all of you images for your app can be very time consuming. Since the launch of the iPhone 4 with its retina display I have been using Unretina, an app available in the App store to take my retina images and scale them down for older iPhones. However, the current version of Unretina has a bug that makes converting large batches of files problematic. Instead I use Photoshop and a custom action to down-size all of my retina images. It is quite straight forward here are the steps, Read more …
My Top 5 Symfony2 Bundles

iPhone and iPod
A seemingly small change in a recent update saw the “iPod” on the iPhone change from iPod to Music. At first I felt this to be insignificant but this must have been a big decision for Apple, so until yesterday I didn’t think much of it then I saw the recent iPhone 4 advert. The catch phrase “if you don’t have an iPhone then you don’t have an iPod” was spoken by the voice over guy. This left me wondering I have an iPhone but you have changed the name of my iPod to music so I don’t have an iPod now. It is a very minor point but this inconstant message is certainly not typical of Apple and I wondered if I had missed something. Anyone got any insights on this?
