You Do Not Need to Manually Manage iOS Multitasking
while i understand this and agree, i have also needed to shut down certain apps this way that were misbehaving, such as the Facebook app. if it’s acting up, the last remembered state of the app is still in the hosed up state.

The internet’s Go Daddy issues

1. i like the scantily clad ads
2. i’ve met bob parsons and actually talked to him about the elephants he’s shot after seeing the photos in his office, and it’s all about saving and feeding villages.
3. they’ve withdrawn their SOPA support
Several people asked what the problem was with Go Daddy, so here goes. (Note: I’ve never used Go Daddy for anything…just passing along information here.)
