Apple totally fails when it comes to uploading web images. What should be a simple feature instead requires a 3rd party application like doubleint's 'uploader'. For a measly 99 cents, you get the option to use popular services like tweetpic, or you can roll your own script and throw POST data at it. You can customize the parameters and to do cool stuff like add captions and password protection, etc. Right now, I'm posting this from the comfort of my recliner! Thanks to a quick PHP script, this will soon be on my website. And just for fun, we'll hook into the twitter API to automate the additional step. Thank you Apple, for taking 2010 hardware and screwing me out of ever-since-the-early-nineties functionality! Android here I come!
