There are two types of consumers. -People who are willing to spend a lot of money on a device they love (iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch) will spend money on apps. -People who got their 2nd-rate, poorly built device ( most android devices) for free

the ad services (Google, etc.) doesn't care about your phone's battery life as long as they can serve their ads. They don't get anything in return if they spend time and resources making their ads "more efficient". These companies don't car

You're right. Apple has so much cash that the only thing that makes sense is to both pay out quarterly dividends AND buying back their stock. Even though AAPL is still considered a GROWTH stock. NOTE: Apple earned ~$13b profit last quarter

Sorry I wasn't very clear. generally speaking this is a bad idea but it works great if you have a small table. 1) in my ViewDidLoad I create an array of cells. 2) Then in my cellForRowAtIndexPath, I return the particular cell in my array. -

The motivation was not "pure". Mike Daisey lied for money and self-promotion.

Wrong. Mike Daisey presented his lies AS FACTS to reputable news organizations. Here’s a transcript of his appearance on the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC: SCHULTZ: OK. What did you see? DAISEY: I saw all the things that everyone has been report
