★ Macworld’s Stylus Buying Guide – More Than You Need to Know

I own two Boxwave¹ styluses (affiliate link) for my iPad. They rarely get used because I find that I don’t have a need for a stylus most of the time.

But, if you’re in the market for an iPad stylus, you probably won’t find a more comprehensive guide than Macworld’s stylus buying guide.

(via Technologizer)

The Boxwave, at $10, is virtually identical to the Griffin stylus which is $20. ↩

From Fraser Speirs commenting on the advice the people receive, even from Apple Geniuses, to manually kill apps to free up memory:

the iOS multitasking bar does not contain “a list of all running apps”. It contains “a list of recently used apps”. The user never has to manage background tasks on iOS.

There are exceptions, but none that you can do anything about.

I love DropBox and use it everyday. So, I was excited to read about DropBox Automator (DBA) which lets you perform an automated action on a file when that file is saved to your Dropbox. For example, save a photo to a folder in DropBox and have DBA automatically upload the photo to Facebook.

See the list of available actions here.
