I realize that this is a contrarian view, but (in its aim at being sensational), the headline is incorrect. Apple has not said that it expects developers to pay any refunds out of pocket. On the contrary, the app-store/itunes agreement tell

I agree and I think that too many people have turned this into a "race" issue. My sense is that the professor was wrong in attributing racial motives to Officer Crowley's actions. I also think that the office was wrong in arresting Professo

Since you mention that market size isn't a factor for you and since you don't seem to have a preference for one phone (though you've tried both), I'd suggest Android. I wrote a prototype app with the Android beta last year, The Android beta

One of his rules says "Good results should go up on the Y axis. This means that if you're charting weight loss, don't chart "how much I weigh" because good results would go down. Instead, chart "percentage of goal" or "how much I lost." " A

absolutely, the biggest advantage of Apple's strategy is that you have one consistent hardware platform and the variations (iPod vs iPhone, video-recording support or not, etc.) are clearly defined and understood. One of the biggest problem

Thanks for the info. I should have checked to see if the book was available for free. I'll take a look at the book. My point about the relative value of news/analysis content vs latte etc. still applies

I think that it is a good idea/experiment to start charging web-users for news content (and I'm surprised that all six previous comments criticized the move) As for Anderson's "Free" book mentioned in a previous comment, that book isn't fr

yes, I agree a lot of apps have fake 5-star reviews and this is unfortunate. Of course, some apps are also targetted with fake 1-star ratings. Imo the fake 1-star ratings are worse than the fake 5-star ratings.
