You can do this in the iPhone as well. You just turn off all of the notifications except for badging, which is the little red circle with a number in it that lets you know how much mail you have. The only thing is, you still need notifications to get that badge. Which Sparrow doesn't have. My solution right now is…

This is straight out of Moneyball:

Also missing the iPhone component to the article? Flipboard might be great on the iPad, but I've found navigation difficult on the iPhone's smaller form factor.

Except that you're not going anywhere, you're just basically driving a search grid. I don't think it's quite the same as driving the open road, with a destination and a purpose.

That actually didn't work for me. You can sync your contacts from Google like it says, but they sync to your Mac, and not to iCloud.

I think there's a missed point here.

Oh yes. There's a curious flick of the wrist I do to get the end of the swatter to whip at the fly. If you do it right, that whip seems to be so much faster than the fly. It actually seems easier than swatting it on a surface.

Profanity aside, they do have read receipts for iPhone-to-iPhone delivery (iMessages) as long as you have it enabled.

The most helpful tip I wish I'd heard:

Ask the photographer! They should have a few suggestions, and the photos might even come out better because you're dressed to suit the photog's style.

Too vague? Where do I export from, where do I import to? Enabling iCloud on my phone didn't merge anything.

How in the world do I migrate from Google to iCloud? I can't figure out how to do it, technically speaking. (Without spending 10 hours doing things by hand.)

Yeah, it's who I am, definitely wouldn't recommend it for everybody. Totally recognize it's a bit strange to be like this, at least to most people.

Ah okay. (I obviously don't know my Dylan?) I don't know! A lot has been changing in my life recently. I think I might be "settling down" as they say. I'm trying to build a better life for myself. I want to be better than a dirty joke, an article I wouldn't want my friends to see. (Referring to a different NSFW…

*sighs* I know it! I just can't see past it anymore, you know? It's not funny or clever to me, it just seems childish now. Gettin' old! Before long I'll be sitting in my lawn chair yelling, "Get off my lawn, you damn kids!"

I clicked through only to leave a comment. I'm embarrassed these things are showing up in my RSS feed, and on the right-hand article list. I wouldn't want my mom or my friends looking at this over my shoulder. Or pretty much anybody else, for that matter. I was hoping maybe it was a mistake, but since Sam Biddle…

It's just that I expected Giz's humor to be above the 4Chan-cesspool level. I've stayed in spite of the declining standards, the typos, even some of the irresponsible reporting, but I have to say, this is the first time Giz has truly embarrassed me. And you guys did it twice in one evening, too, with the NSFW post.

I'd like to know. I mean, we can all complain about Gizmodo's poor standards, but... did this just happen? Or is there an explanation?

Aw man guys, the Linac Coherent Light Source! It's an x-ray laser that's a more than a billion times brighter than synchrotron sources - like the Advanced Light Source. That makes it a billion-billion times brighter than the sun! And it will make movies of atoms, seriously, that's really cool. And as far as a…
