Did you know that The Verge delivers you to around 20 companies for advertising and tracking purposes? I didn’t. That might foul up your mobile web experience a little bit. Maybe we should try something different. The Verge is an especially egregious example, but this is incredibly commonplace. And if such blocking becomes a big problem for publishers, it’s up to.

April 12, 2013. October 16, 2014. My three favorite tech podcasts from last fall have been taken from me. John Siracusa shuttered his geek-minded podcast Hypercritical. In December and Marco Arment did the same with Build and Analyze. Earlier in the fall, John Gruber moved his podcast The Talk Show. Away from the 5by5 network. I tried Andy Inhatko’s podcast. But those shows feel too produced and shiny to me now. One podcast I’m enjoying now is the Accidental Tech Podcast. With Renee Ritchie and Guy Engli...

Bull; About ▾. I’m Marco Arment. A programmer, writer, podcaster, geek, and coffee enthusiast. Apple Developer Center still down. July 21, 2013. We apologize that maintenance is taking longer than expected. It’s now been almost three full days. I don’t know anything about their infrastructure, but for a web service to be down. Long with so little communication, most “maintenance” or migration theories become very unlikely. The most likely explanations:. Follow Marco.org posts: Twitter. Ads via The Deck.
