Gold Medal! Robbed! Apple! That's quite a headline. Unfortunately simple games are easy to copy and a style is IP that is almost impossible to protect. I would tell your son that he should be flattered that someone liked his free gam

Out of the 3 people in this situation that I know well, two stayed home with kids, and one went to school herself. Of the two that stayed home, one also did a lot of volunteer work including helping her husband in the lab during his PostDoc

No one here is likely to hold a grudge. I see you got hammered on one thread, but once you figure out what specific things to avoid then people will treat you appropriately. I have had a few comments downvoted. Some of them a lot, but I lea

2-point speed meters would work especially well on toll highways. They already know exactly what time my car go on and off of the MassPike, but if you cover the 60 miles in 30 minutes then you get charged the same $5 as always.

Don't worry too much. The beta releases often contain bugs themselves, and there is a good chance it is not a problem with your app. If you have a chance to test it then you should, but bugs in a beta often get cleaned up by apple with

In the US that is considered to favor the rich too much. A car (or two or three) is part of the american dream, and restricting that based on class would get very unpopular very quickly. You would see civil action similar to that in SF agai

The landing page is a little annoying in Safari: no matter how I resize the window, the page wants to be a few pixels wider, so it always has a horizontal scroll bar.

In part 1 you need the sound turned on to solve the puzzle. I don't think I could have ever gotten farther than that on my own. Even at home I keep the sound turned off on my computer unless there is something I specifically want to li

The author should also do a quick search (perhaps with bing, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo) on PayPal accounts being blocked. He recommends this as the safe option, trusted option, but I have seen more PayPal banned for life rants than google ones.

Can you please show the correct answer when I get one wrong? I am not too familiar with TC or PH, so its hard for me to sort them out. This is especially true of the PH posts.

That is good advice and works for me. I only leave negative reviews when there is no contact info, or they don't respond when I submit a bug.

I see a bug where pieces don't always clear correctly. The play continues correctly, but it appears that a piece is there when it shouldn't be, and the next piece on that column just covers it up.

Most MVNO's do not offer roaming, but a few do. I am currently using Republic Wireless, which is Sprint based, but includes all of the regular Sprint roaming on Verizon. $20/month for unlimited Voice, Text, and Data! Really. The

I see that they offer a discount for BYO devices now. That was not obvious to me earlier, even after looking at their web page. Cell phone pricing should be a simple formula, but it is surprisingly difficult to find a good comparison of cos

In the US most people[1,2] get their phones on contract, and a $600 subsidy is standard. If you plan to mostly forgo the prepaid market then US customers are cost insensitive, and pricing a phone at less than $600 is giving money away to th

Is this a long term goal or a short term goal? If you are serious about this as a career you should look at a relevant PhD program. Getting a PhD is free (unless you count the lost salary while you are making $30k a year working towards the

I have also enjoyed working with the RN 171 and 131 (but in other form factors). If you would like an easy way to get into BLE then check out the RFduino. I used it because it was the only thing I could find that would let me pass arbitrary

I think you are over estimating the bandwidth involved. They don't state much about the wireless protocol, but I am betting you don't want to send much more than a text message to get that range.

The part I think is missing is a connection back to the cell network so that you can give people in more remote locations the ability to text the rest of the world using this as a link. I don't see the 2-user walky-talky being that use

While at work I regularly use the live chat on websites to get information, and I strongly prefer that over a voice call for a number of reasons[1]. The problem I have with the chats is that they usually lack the ability to escalate an issu

How old are you? I am 32 and I agree, but my younger siblings consider a text to be similar to a phone call that demands an immediate response. I you aren't in a hurry you send a similar message over email.
