In my experience, the amplification that this adapter provides is not enough for larger headphones.

It is currently only available in the US and China as far as I can see (UK here).

That article refers to the iPhone 6 which has only a marginal increase in battery size to offset the extra draw from the larger screen.

The iPhone 6 Plus (the one hellweaver666 is referring to) is the one with the much larger battery.

Destroying those components would render the machine useless without external inputs and outputs, maybe their intention was simply just to disable the machine, executed in a rather odd manner.

Here is a copy of the email I received:

We apologize for the significant inconvenience caused by our developer website downtime. We've been working around the clock to overhaul our developer systems, update our server software, and rebuild our entire database. While we complete the work to bring our systems back online, we want to share the latest with you.

We plan to roll out our updated systems, starting with Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, Apple Developer Forums, Bug Reporter, pre-release developer libraries, and videos first. Next, we will restore software downloads, so that the latest betas of iOS 7, Xcode 5, and OS X Mavericks will once again be available to program members. We'll then bring the remaining systems online. To keep you up to date on our progress, we've created a status page to display the availability of our systems.

If your program membership is set to expire during this period, it will be extended and your app will remain on the App Store. If you have any other concerns about your account, please contact us.

Thank you for your continued patience.

The article states that the website is back up but as of now 24/07 11:08GMT that is not the case.

This is terrible timing for me since I came back from travelling on Thursday and haven't been able to get on with working in iOS 7. I really wish Apple were able to provide us with more information on time-scales.

Hmm every .io domain on this page has worked for me even if I've never visited them before. Maybe my ISP (VirginMedia) has cached the records.

Remember not everyone can afford the latest beast of a machine that can accommodate 16GB RAM, some people still have laptops that can hold a maximum of 4GB by design limitation; it's more likely to be those people worrying about Chrome's RAM usage.

Before, I would never consider moving to Android after having used the iPhone since it came out and invested a reasonable amount of money in iOS Apps. Now, I'm considering a switch as for me, the maps app was one of the most useful things on the phone for finding my way once I had become lost, out on my bike.

Apple really has done a bad job on the maps for my area just north of London in the UK. Towns are mislabelled, villages will have their label shown while zoomed out, while larger towns won't be labeled at all on any zoom level.

Google may do well to hold out on making their maps accessible iOS6 to try and bring current previous generation iPhone users over to their operating system and its devices.

Fez started development over 4 years ago when steam wasn't as big for indies as it is now, they probably signed an agreement back then giving exclusivity to Microsoft for a period of time after initial release on XBLA in return for some promotion.

According to their website, they provide 'offensive exploit services' to governments and intelligence services. So possibly, depending on wether you view those people as bad people.

It looks like they provide some information at the top of the search results if your search term include the words earthquake or tsunami.

Nice, I was wondering if the name had any link to the town, which isn't too far from me.
