APPLE REGULARLY HIGHLIGHTS its design choices and attention to detail as some of the reasons why its products are different to its rivals.
It even goes as far as to use a specific font type called San Francisco for OS X El Capitan and iOS 9.
Yet the font itself presented a problem for a certain word on its site. Because of the spacing used on its main page for OS X, it meant that the word ‘click’ looked more like ‘dick’.
A little problematic when the sentence in question is “There’s more to love with every click”.
So what did Apple do? It made a small tweak to the website’s CSS code, placing ‘span’ HTML tags around the word click so it’s spaced out a little more.
The change was first spotted by software designer Dan Leech which you wouldn’t notice unless you were actively looking for it.
And for those who can’t see it, a number of people sent in comparisons and changes that make the decision a lot clearer.
Although that didn’t stop others from taking liberties with it and making their own changes.

Did they just paste in the same tweet seven times in one article?
Well just 3 identical tweets, 5 essentially identical images though… Lucky we live in 4g times
You’d almost feel sorry for the people who think this is newsworthy.
How convenient to have this slab story on the day of the election.
Hopefully Enda won’t have as long a time as slab, paid for by the taxpayer.
What are ya, 5 years of age? There’s a media blackout until polling closes tonite.
I’m sure the slab story is really influencing the outcome of the general election…
No matter when a negative story about Sinn Fein comes out there are people claiming its to influence elections.
How many tax evaders will get 18 months? And why no comments allowed?
There would be too many good/bad republican comments.
“How many other tax evaders will get 18 months” none that’s how many. Some kind of tax evader task force needs to be set up to chase them all down, we could start by investigating offshore accounts especially HSBC.

Others get jail for tax evasion. It’s not just your Sinn Fein types, no need to be so precious.
The garlic man owed 1.4 million, in the other article before the journal edited it said Slab owed 190 thousand. There is supposedly over a trillion euro in untaxed monies sitting in offshore bank accounts.
How many hours of highly paid engineers were used in this? I bet it was worth all that effort in college!!
One person, and 5 seconds of there time to do this kerning.
I wish my dick had more span
Will they please stop my clicking my d1ck??!
Speaking as dyslexic I thought it said clit anyway.
Lol. I’m sure Apple has more exciting source code than its web site to show off
Close your dirty minds hehehe
have your say
