During interviews I make a point about flexibility due to not having my own family, and can also dedicate significantly more time to learning outside of work that perhaps many candidates of a similar age (40-45 bracket) are unable to. I ha

Since Apple take a slice of the App store sale it's in their best interest to "feature" apps which are already popular and bring in good revenue. Why promote an app with 100 sales over another with 10,000?
