…we discuss lost multiplayer progress, NAS setups and Plex Media Server, Grand Theft Auto V, The Wind Waker HD, chili, a whole lot of stuff about iOS 7, and Apple’s TouchID.
Emory’s stuff

Alan’s stuff
- Grand Theft Auto V
- also: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for iOS
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for Wii U
- “Fusion Chili” is really hard to make
iOS 7
- Look for better Camera application
- nicer photo organization — event/location/date scroll!
- Give the flat UI a chance!
- Applications that are updated for iOS 7 look great
- Auto Updates and granular controls on what happens on wifi/LTE
- New software that uses new UIs and the problem of cost
- Battery life issues for iPhone5?
Touch ID
- Tech pundits and press got this all wrong (including Bruce Schneier)

iPhone can now IFTTT!
IFTTT ((if this, then that: ifttt.com)) is one of my favorite web services — I use it to dump ADN ((app.net – http://app.net/)) and Facebook status messages I’ve written into a Google Drive document, send CERT advisories to my iPhone via Prowl, and one of my favorites: starred posts on ADN, pinboard ((Great bookmark service: pinboard.in)) bookmarks marked “to read” and saved articles in Feedly get saved to Evernote and Pocket.
Having said that, IFTTT is my current achilles heel and I am hoping that they find a way to make sure some reasonable continuity of business is in the cards through some sort of service model. I would pay for the service as it is, especially now that my hot selfies can be auto-posted to my tumblr.
As with everything IFTTT, you’ll have to get creative to truly take advantage of the service’s three new channels: Photos, Reminders, and Contacts. For example, you could have IFTTT create a new Google Calendar event every time you add a contact, so you can keep track of when you meet people, or you could have IFTTT post every selfie you take to a Tumblr blog you’ve created. Yep, there’s an IFTTT trigger that activates only for photos taken using your phone’s front-facing camera. You can optionally receive push notifications when any of your recipes run their course.

Meds…or madness
It’s nice to have a pillbox that accurately reflects the nature of things.
Saw
I can count the number of times I’ve seen a man playing Unchained Melody on a sawblade with one hand.
