I also do enterprise web application development, with crazy complex applications for a fortune 100 company... We have mechanisms in place to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen - version control is the most basic; we also have three environments that we can promote to prod at any time.

 

I'm kinda surprised that there wasn't a snapshot somewhere they could roll back. Just seems like a miss on a very important feature.

 

Glad it's fixed now.

You are right though the first step is usually a snapshot. I work for a university so we don't have as robust of an environment. 

They might have been trying to figure out if they could fix it easily before they rolled back. 

I hope they have some sort of version control in place with their web tech (Git or SVN). They'd just need to roll back the changes and redeploy.

I do web development. Everything is usually stored in a content management system but sometimes to do upgrades you have to break things and it makes it difficult to go back depending on where you are in the process. Sometimes even version control won't help you.

Microsoft developer explained why they skipped Windows 9.

SMS Continuity is coming with iOS 8.1. That explains why the 8.1 beta dropped so fast.

I have been missing this so much the past couple weeks.

Heard that with 8.1 you can choose to be on 2g, 3g or LTE. So LTE only mode? I don't know

Doesn't Sprint not have a 2G network? So for Sprint it will be the same as it always has.

I really like 8.1. There were a few glaring issues in 8 for me.

Yea I meant 8.1(windows 8 service pack 1).

One thing I don't like one bit, the late 2015 release date.

 

And if Apple can downsize their OS for performance enhancements, then Microsoft should have figured it out by now, but with the same OS running on a plethora of devices, I suppose you're right on the bigger space usage this time around too.

I have heard that Word has thousands of line of code that nobody knows what they do, but they don't want to remove it because they are afraid it can break something.

I can only imagine how bad an entire operating system could be.

If you spend 5 minutes organizing your tiles it is a lot more useful then the traditional start menu that is full of crap you never use or need. 

I think I am one of the few people that actually really likes Windows 8.  

Is usage considered screen on time in iOS?

Not necessarily. If you are listening to music that counts as usage.

So, I need some help. I last used my iPhone 5s on 7.1.2, and ran an iCloud backup. It's not allowing me to restore that backup on my 6 with 8.0. Can you only restore from the same iOS version? Also, I can't seem to get my photo stream back. I've tried disabling/re-enabling that feature, and nothing appears in my "photos" app. Thoughts?

Photostream pictures are only stored for thirty days.

My wife had issues restoring an iCloud backup on her six. Sounds like just another bug in Ios8

Wife had to restore her iPhone 6 and her iCloud backup could not be restored so she had to pick one from Thursday night. Hope this isn't a common thing.

iCloud Drive is now available to download for Windows.  Just update through the Apple Software update application.

I'm using SwiftKey and only get the generic apple keyboard on password pages.

This actually makes sense from a security point of view.  I also noticed you can't access third party keyboards from the lock-screen.

Just wow. all of those photos are amazing.....

Even though they are shot with an iPhone being a professional photographer makes all the difference.

Is there anything really noteworthy in this update? The new keyboard is alright but it hasn't done much for me.

Quick reply is one of my favorite features.

Why didn't the Beta conversation get changed to iOS8 Released and a new topic get created for the Yosemite beta?

People on reddit say the GM has the exact same build number as the public release...they didn't make any changes?

The GM is the final version. Anything else that comes up that needs to be fixed will be done through 8.X.X (which we already know will happen to enable some features like continuity).

The verge did a pretty good video I think on the phone and how it is to have the new device. I've never been more anxious for a new phone!

 

Andddd. Am I the only one looking forward to swiftkey coming to iOS?

 

Edit. Guess I can't embed YouTube videos from my phone.

Loved how he stood outside the Apple Store with the iPhone 6 in hand while everyone was waiting.

You can't see which tower you are connected to on an iPhone.

This beta might help with iOS 8, but because Apple changed the Continuity for SMS to "October", they will release a 8.0.1 release for iOS 8 at the public release of Yosemite.

Wow I missed that no wonder why my texts haven't been working on my iPad. If I knew that I would have stayed on the beta till the day it expired.

I hope Apple updates PhotoStream for windows so that it syncs all your pictures and not just the last 30 days.

There are interesting benefits to using a card for the purchase - I think Discover, for instance, doubles warranty periods on electronics. So the 90 day from Apple is extended to 180 days (but you have to call & file the claim through the card).

 

Discover only refunds the cost you paid for the device. So if you bought it on contract they would refund the $200+tax and that's it. Apple devices have a 1 year warranty.

That Baraclay APR is ridiculously high. I wonder how many people they sucker in with Apple purchases.
