Double Shot #807

Time to move a few of these browser tabs from my desk to yours.

• CocoaPods - Like Bundler, but for Objective-C.
• Vim for Rails developers - "browse Ruby, RSpec and Rails docs quickly."
• Support Details - Quick sniffing of browser settings to help you troubleshoot customer issues.
• HTML5 Storage Wars - localStorage vs. IndexedDB vs. Web SQL - Summary: it's a mess.
• SQLCipher 2.0 Released - A 256-bit transparent encryption add-on for SQLite.
• Backbone.js 0.9.0 - Here's the changelog.
• I've finally decided that REST is Stupid - It'd be nice if this provoked some discussion. I tend to agree that some of Rails' conventions are senseless.
• Virtual Private Servers - the Wild West of Hosting - Complete with some recommendations for low-cost hosting.
• DMARC.org - A new standard for more aggressive email authentication. Worth keeping an eye on.
• Mou - Markdown editor for web developers. Currently in free beta.
• The evil unit test - There are some good points in here about writing sensible tests, though overall it's a bit muddled.
