Apple publishes six free e-books for developers →
The six developer guides may not be of much interest to non-coders, unless you’re simply gaga for titles like iOS Human Interface Guidelines, Object Oriented Programming With Objective-C, or Cocoa Fundamentals Guide. The other three titles are The Objective-C Programming Language, iOS Technology Overview, and its thrilling sequel iOS Application Programming Guide.

2 + 2 = 5 →
The phrase “two plus two equals five” (“2 + 2 = 5”) is a slogan used in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four as an example of an obviously false dogma one must believe, similar to other obviously false slogans by the Party in the novel. (via Larson)

Untranslatability →
Untranslatability is a property of a text, or of any utterance, in one language, for which no equivalent text or utterance can be found in another language.  Terms are, however, neither exclusively translatable nor exclusively untranslatable; rather, the degree of difficulty of translation depends on their nature, as well as on the translator’s abilities.

SitePoint: What’s New in Firebug 1.6 →
Do you remember life in the dark days before Firebug? For many years, Internet Explorer only provided a dumb pop-up box with vague messages such as “Object not an instance of an Object at line 0.” The early Firefox and Opera consoles helped, but only for JavaScript issues. It’s no exaggeration that Firebug revolutionized client-side coding. Many applications would never have been built without...
