For those of you wondering if Apple still has a strong cult following, here you go: a new survey from Goldman Sachs finds that 21% of iOS users wouldn’t switch to another platform, for any price.

How to easily use bookmarklets in Google Chrome for iOS

Posted: 30 Jun 2012 02:12 PM PDT

A few minutes ago John Gruber tweeted about the lack of bookmarklet support in Chrome for iOS. I responded to him stating that support is indeed there, it just wasn’t as straightforward as it is on Safari.

To tell the truth, I too thought that bookmarklets, or the lack thereof, was simply a medium sized oversight made by Google; after all, such things are instrumental when it comes to using tools like LastPass, Instapaper, etc.

Celebrating our 1,000th video

Late last night I had the privilege of posting our 1,000th YouTube video. I’ve been creating videos for iDownloadBlog for almost two years now, and it’s been an insanely rewarding and invigorating journey.

Oddly enough, doing video walkthroughs started off as just a test, something to spice things up every now and then at most.

Of course, we started off small in our endeavors. In fact, some of the earliest creations were downright terrible in my opinion, both from a image quality and sound perpective. Despite these early hiccups, you, the viewers, have stuck with us from the beginning until now, and for that we want to thank you.

To celebrate video number 1,000, I’ve put together a special montage of some of my favorite moments from the last year and a half. Granted, this represents only a smidgen of what I’d like to share, but due to time I had to be realistic and limit the amount of content included.

What’s been your favorite video moment thus far? We invite you inside to watch and to share your thoughts…(...)
