The code snippet of the week explains an advanced use of the UIImagePicker which includes feedback for the user about the selected pictures. We use the lower part of the UIImagePicker to display thumbnails of selected images.
So, let’s dig into the code. The first step is to overwrite the UINavigationController method willShowViewController. Here, we customize the controller size in order make room for the display of our thumbnails. That’s all we need for the setup of our new customized UIImagePicker.

MacRumors Readers are special
Monday, February 8th, 2010The well known rumor site macrumors recently posted an article about a
paper do-it-yourself- iPad. The reaction to this article was (and still is) mixed: some (like us at ikangai) find it funny while others complained about the newsworthiness of such an article. We were wondering, why such negative reactions appear and looked at the comments that were posted to the article. An example of a comment is this:
For us, this comment is rather funny: who expects to find on a rumor (!) site (after all, the site is called MACRUMORS) serious news? And besides, why react so strongly to a gag?
Even more amazing, is the reaction to a speculation (posted at the same day) related to a new MacBookPro which was overwhelmingly positive. This article is pure speculation and no evidence for a new MacBookPro exists (except for some wishful thinking).
We conclude that some of the readers do not have any sense of humor when it comes to Apple related stories. Funnily, these people behave exactly like the PC in Apple’s ads and not at all like cool Macs.
