Opinon: Andy Rubin’s tweet to Steve Jobs
Take this tweet by Google’s own Andy Rubin in response to Steve Jobs’ recent comments on the ‘open’ vs. ‘closed’ debate surrounding Android and iOS.
If you understand what the tweet means, you’re in a privileged minority of tech-savvy users of open source software repositories, and can recognise its contents as a set of simple commands to download and build your very own copy of the Android OS.
For the rest of us mere mortals, Andy Ruben’s response does little but highlight Google’s entire attitude towards their approach to the smartphone: a complete disregard for the average end-user’s understanding (or lack thereof) of the underlying technology of what should be a ‘pick up and use’ device.

How to enable ‘VolumeSnap’ in Camera+ for iPhone
Camera+ for iPhone is by far my favourite photo app, but its latest update featuring the ‘VolumeSnap’ feature was rejected by Apple on severely misguided UI consistency grounds.
VolumeSnap allows the iPhone’s volume buttons to be used as a shutter release, greatly improving the ergonomics of snapping photos. This feature is so forehead-slappingly brilliant that, Apple’s rejection aside, the crafty authors of Camera+ have provided us with a simple workaround.
To enable VolumeSnap, enter the following into mobile Safari: camplus://enablevolumesnap
To disable it, enter this instead: camplus://disablevolumesnap
Here’s hoping that Apple sees the light and lets the next update through without the need for a hack, but in the meantime have fun, and happy snapping!
