Neven Mrgan's tumbl: All the sizes of iOS app icons

Let’s say you’re working on an icon for an iOS app. The app is universal, so it should run on all iPhones (and iPod touches), and on the iPad. As a designer, you’re used to drawing icons at various sizes; this is a big part of what “icon design” is (as opposed to other types of illustration).

A few things iOS developers ought to know about the ARM architecture « Wandering Coder

When I wrote my Introduction to NEON on iPhone, I considered some knowledge about the iOS devices’ processors as assumed to be known by the reader. However, from some discussions online I have realized some of this knowledge was not universal; my bad. Furthermore these are things I think are useful for iPhone programming in general (not just if you’re interested in NEON), even if you program in high-level Objective-C. You could live without them, but knowing them will make you a better iPhone programmer.

Survey of Patients' Hospital Experiences

The linked page compares hospitals in my area, but you can fill in your zipcode and get similar data for your local hospitals. This new government website lets you compare hospitals in your area based on feedback from patients… pretty cool.  I hope as time goes on they add other metrics like hand-hygiene compliance :-).
