Figure 2.27 legend |
I'm wondering if the legend of Figure 2.27 is accurate.
It says : Yahoo! Mail mistakenly shows a valid indicator instead of an invalid indicator....
Should not it be Yahoo! Mail mistakenly shows an invalid indicator instead of an valid indicator....
Seems to be different from the text of the paragraph that follows the figure.... which states the other way round (1 - invalid and 2- Valid).
Thanks for clearing this matter for me :-)
Note from the Author or Editor:
To clear this up let's change the text slightly.
Original text:
"Yahoo! Mail mistakenly shows a valid indicator instead of an invalid indicator for a message when it is dragged back over the inbox"
Corrected text:
"Yahoo! Mail displays an invalid indicator when first dragging over the inbox then mistakenly displays a valid indicator when the message is dragged back over the inbox" |

The screenshot for the scrollers for PicLens came out way too dark. Can't tell what is illustrated.

The magic principle |
Current text is :
• Take pictures with a digital camera.
• Sometime later, upload the photos to a photo site like Flickr. This involves:
• Finding the cable.
• Starting iTunes.
• Importing all photos.
Should be "Starting iPhoto" (instead of iTunes)
