No hints today. We honor a man, but even moreso, an idea, today.

See you tomorrow.

No, it's not a holiday.

I live in a University neighborhood and some of my neighbors had their apartment building catch on fire. I'm giving some of them shelter (and hot tea) and trying to manage the chaos while things get sorted out.

Unfortunately, chaos and hint testing don't mix very well. I'll be back tomorrow unless the fire spreads this way. :)

Thanks, Craig A.

No hints today; we'll be back again tomorrow morning.

I want to wish everyone a good holiday weekend, and if you're not on holiday, I hope it's good anyway. :)

We won't be publishing hints on Monday but will be back as usual next Tuesday.

No snow here in Minnesota so we'll be having our first Brown Christmas in a few years.

I've posted a new poll about your thoughts on iCloud usage. I'm sure the list of answers is not exhaustive, so please vote for the closest option but put other plans you may have in the comments section.

It's Holiday time in the U.S. again. Time to remember all the good stuff in the company of friends and family. And eat, drink, and watch football.

A big Thank You to all the MacOSXHints readers, and especially to the contributors.

There won't be any new hints published on Friday either, but there is a new poll I want to put up.

A couple of changes I'm making or considering: first, the category 'iPhone' is now 'iOS Devices.' Hints related to iOS itself, iOS apps, plus iPhone/iPad/iPod touch hardware go into this area. I'll go back and re-categorize older hints as I get the chance.

It has been proposed that a new category be created for iCloud related hints. Please post in the comments if you would prefer that or just keep it in the 10.7 or iOS areas, as applicable. I'm not sure I have a great preference one way or the other, so I'm looking for feedback on it.

Thanks, Craig A.

P.S. I see that the blue descriptive text by the iPhone icon has not changed; that still says 'iPhone.' The menu used to submit hints is now changed. I'll change the descriptor as soon as I spot where in the database that lives.

I am attending a family funeral. Hints will return tomorrow.

Thanks all,

Craig A.

Still getting over it. I've seen many posts from friends and strangers alike on how Steve and Apple changed their lives; I know mine went from from being a mainframe-hating computer avoider to being deeply involved in many areas of the information technology industry after being Welcomed to Macintosh in 1985.

Here are a few things I've seen I'd like to pass on:

"Without Steve, none of my work on macosxhints.com, at Macworld, or Many Tricks would have come to pass. RIP, Steve; you changed the world." -- Rob Griffiths.

A memorial: Steve and the Apple Logo.

A Sad Mac.

An ad from the 'Here's to the Crazy Ones' campaign, this one made in 1997 but not aired. Narrated by Steve himself, who has a place with all those other difference makers.

See you all tomorrow with the usual stuff. Feel free to share thoughts and memories in the comments.

We're on holiday (read: party time) today in the U.S. and will be back tomorrow.

Thanks, all.
