Right. On the other hand, in this case it was a search keyword, not a word in the description. They could add a disclaimer to reserve the right to remove inappropriate keywords. Asking the developer to do so and resubmit the app is a wast

Why didn't they just approve the app and remove the incriminated keyword?

Thanks to the author and to the submitter. Some of these are really works of art. I especially love TinyScheme (BTW, did you know that it is embedded in the iPhoneOS?).

Here's the app author blog post about this (where he also says that it took four months before the app got rejected): http://www.cloudgoessocial.net/2009/05/19/µmonitor-rejected/

Thanks for this. Is there a way to make the window open at the center of the screen?

Slackware is still my favorite distro (even though I also use Ubuntu a lot nowadays). It's the best choice IMO for learning Linux, for power users and for developers. I still prefer to compile most of the software I need by myself, to get t

Did you read the article? You got it backwards. They made the change to cut costs. The fuss is because Verdana is intended to be used on screen, and it's ugly when printed.

The title (of the submission) is wrong. The logo hasn't changed. They just changed the font used in catalogues, switching from a customized version of Futura (used for 40 years) to Verdana.

The Amiga was really ahead of its times. It came out in 1995 (just a year after the first Mac) and it already had preemptive multitasking, custom audio and video coprocessors (with 16m colors, stereo sound) etc. I still have my Amiga 1200

You're comparing a simple 2d traditional (cel) animation software with a full blown 3d modeling/rendering/video editing/game engine suite.

From a comment on the page: >Although I am rather upset with Apple for not approving applications that would allow for visuals with music — rather upset! — this is where the market is at currently. Is it true? Does somebody know of such

Same here. Still, it's a pity that it doesn't have multitouch.

This is a great idea. To keep a standard subset for lightweight implementations (which are better suited for embedded systems, or for being embedded as a scripting language). How cool is this? Edit: not to mention that a greater portability

How is this noteworthy? If he paid off the remainder of the contract, he paid the full price of the phone. Every carrier lets you unlock your phone at that point, AFAIK. I bought my iPhone 3G in Italy (where I live) last year in october alr

Developers started flocking to the App Store because they saw a great opportunity, a gold rush (fueled like never before by media). If a consistent part of them would leave now (and I believe they won't), it would be even more appealing for

I hate when people do this. And I'm surprised by how many people don't understand the problem. It's not necessary to touch the screen even if you're pointing something. Grab the mouse (or use the touchpad) or just point without touching. Is

That was my first thought too. Probably if it wasn't for spam, we wouldn't need a lot of the services we use nowadays (mainly as filters).

I can already imagine the kind of comments that this article (and even more her TED talk) will trigger here. Which will, ironically, prove her point. EDIT: What I mean is that we are (myself included) mostly left brain people. Otherwise we

Hacking is far from being dead. I would say that it has never been so alive and well since now is so much easier to find the information to get you started (and as a result it is no longer as elitist as it used to be). What you're talking a

I recommend PLT Scheme too (especially for its IDE). After you've played with it for some time (and if you're versed in C, of course) I would recommend to grab a lightweight implementation (TinyScheme is my favorite) and study its source. H

I wrote a very simple (but nice, in my obviously biased opinion) game which is on the App Store since november. It sold relatively well (at least in the first month) with zero marketing and without being featured. Nonetheless, since then I'

Still, I wouldn't risk losing time on possible issues. Keep also in mind that you have to keep OSX updated to the latest version to work with the latest SDK releases. And some OSX updates update the EFI as well so there's the risk that you

As I wrote in a comment below, speed probably is not a problem. But there are issues with hackintoshes on Xcode. For instance I had problems with breakpoints (they were simply ignored).

Now that I think of it, I've tried it on a machine with an AMD processor which was 2Ghz (don't remember the exact model) but it hadn't SSE3 support. SSE3 instructions are emulated on OSX86 which makes it inherently slower. And on my 2Ghz ma

Did you know that a lot of apps on the App Store are the sample projects from Apple themselves with just some images changed (almost all the level apps for instance)? Some didn't even changed the images. And, since the people approving the
