6.5 Problem

[Paul Hibbert]

Both the latest newsletter and a new 6.5.0 lesson quote "useDeviceResolution", so it seems something is out of sync.

useDeviceResolution fails on LC6.5.0 with iPhone iOS 7 and OS X so it doesn't appear to be lurking under the hood. iphoneUseDeviceResolution works as expected on iOS.
