That's a fair observation, but you must admit it takes more effort to tap with a thumb fully extended like that. Especially taking precision into account, since you end up tapping with the flat part.

The author states that the iPhone screen is perfectly sized to allow your thumb to reach the opposite edge. You seem to be agreeing with him. I think you got his argument backwards.

The advice here is to sit for 20-30 minutes at a time and then take a 2-minute walking break. This sort of schedule happens to correspond nicely with the Pomodoro Technique, which suggests 25 minutes of work followed by 5-minute breaks. ht

The important point here is to at least require that <Enter> key, rather than just using getchar() or whatever else and continuing on unexpectedly.

iScrob - http://iscrob.com - a Last.fm scrobbler for iOS. It's free with ads, or $5 with no ads. I released it almost exactly 1 year ago, and it's averaged about $20/day in revenue since then. It's unique because there's some trickery inv

For anyone wondering, I just did this on OS X to adjust the throttle overnight: > crontab -l 0 1 * * * sed -E -i .bak 's/net_throttle="[0-9]+"/net_throttle="100"/' /Library/Backblaze/bzdata/bzinfo.xml 0 10 * * * sed -E -i .bak

Typically this is what file_get_contents() is for (with fopen_wrappers enabled) if you just want a simple GET.

It looks nice. I can easily see how useful it is. Seeing the sample page was much more informative to me than your landing page though. I would try to integrate the two and show off more of your product on the front page. Why do you require

It's important to note Zynga will not be acquiring cocos2d itself, just two of its developers. I'm also glad to see Zynga will continue paying them to work on the platform, though I do wonder what sort of in-house tools they'll build for co

I've used SRSPlus for years and my only complaints are with their DNS hosting. It sometimes fails for a few minutes at a time, returning no results for a simple dig. I've personally noticed it 2-3 times in the last year so I can only imagin

This is very cool. I'd love to read more about how it works. I think they're running a dedicated iOS simulator for each app and streaming the user input/video output via Flash. Even their $60/mo plan has a limit of 10 simultaneous viewers,

This is not a case of Serial commas. The title "Writing Clear, Concise, Sentences" has two adjectives and one noun. It's not a list of three.

I don't think it's its relationship with vendors so much as its relationship with consumers. People are flocking to Groupon looking for places to spend their money.

That's an interesting idea. Could be useful for people traveling with iPod touches. Yes, I use and love TestFlight. They really have a great product.

Appirater defaults to asking only once, and not until two weeks of steady usage. This helps get better reviews since people who use the app a lot tend to like it. In addition, developers have full control over when to display the prompt to
