Another poor example that comes to mind is the search results on Quora, which open with target=_blank even though they link to the same site

Houston continues the tradition of "Meteor" puns - see Galaxy[0], Atmosphere[1], etc.

If you had the `-f` (force) flag, it overrides any sanity checks and simply accepts whatever history you give it.

An advantageous move for LinkedIn might be to just launch it's own email service and compete with Gmail. So many add-ons and hacks exist to add LinkedIn capabilities to existing email, it might be worth it on their part to do it the Right Way.

Hm, it's more likely that when you have a picker column with just a few elements (like only "AM" & "PM"), the tap boundaries aren't adjusted to fill the entire container.
The bigger flag is how this wasn't picked up internally, given how prevalent UIDatePicker is in Apple's own apps. I'd be surprised if no one noticed, so am curious to see if this intentional and stays the same, or was truly accidental.

Propeller (http://usepropeller.com/) - San Francisco, CA - Full time, Intern.
We're building the next generation of native mobile app creation. We dabble in iOS (RubyMotion/Objective-C), Android (Java), JavaScript (Backbone), and Rails, and are solving Really Tough problems across the board.
How? Well, check out Bret Victor's "Future of Programming" talk (http://worrydream.com/dbx/) - we're pushing the needle in that direction.
We also do tons of open source work (https://github.com/usepropeller), and we're anxious to share even more of the tech we build with the community.
We're funded: http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/27/propeller-gets-1-25m-from-a...

What jballanc is saying is that yes these things are possible in Objective-C, but the technique of doing these tricks in Ruby/Motion is an order of magnitude simpler and idiomatic:
klass = Object.const_set "MySubclass", Class.new(Object)
klass.send(:attr_accessor, :foo)
klass.send(:define_method, "description") {
"<#{self.class}: foo=#{self.foo}>"
}
