iPhone - Enable Emoticons : ElijahHardin.com
I am probably the last person in the entire interwebs who doesn’t know how to enable emoticons on my iPhone - but now I do!
We have the entire web in a sandbox that only our engineers can see, and our engineers can take their new algorithm and see it change millions of queries. If it works, we send it to testers, whom we pay, but we don’t tell them what they are testing. “If the tweaks are still deemed useful they are unleashed into the wild - but only to some users. “Then we take a tiny slice, one per cent of our users, and expose them to this change. We measure things such as where on the page they click, when they click higher - that’s good for us. “That one per cent are not told but it’s just an experimental algorithm, and the changes are potentially beneficial, so not hurting the user’s experience. “Concurrently we have approximately 100 ideas floating around that people are testing - we test thousands in a year. Last year we ran around 20,000 experiments. Clearly they don’t all make it out there but we run the process very scientifically.
This is how Google refines their search algorithm. Fascinating.

Apple has updated its iBooks Author app in order to clarify the language of its End User License Agreement. The changes to the EULA clarify that Apple does indeed intend the packaged product to be sold on the iBookstore only, but also make it clear that it does not lay claim to the content that you use to create the book, nor does it try to limit what you can do with that content elsewhere.
