I agree that "asking a friend" is not legit and would be cheating, but using google to find something is more like open book testing. The closest thing I could think of would be to set the iPad into Guided Access mode where you ca

It sucks that googling for something counts as cheating, when really it's a skill that applies to about 90% of real life :-)

Throw Codea on there and it's pretty good to play with.

My kid just got a school-issued iPad in 5th grade. Awesome! But he's also required to buy a lame-o TI calculator as well?! Why?! Oh, because the standardized testing companies are freaked out by iPads. TI has a stranglehold because

1) I've tried various terms - seniors, retired folks, etc. I love my audience! And they aren't offended by the term. Young folks, old folks - it's not a negative term here in the midwest. 4) Nope, I've got a great gam

Following up on this for anyone in a similar situation - I ended up finding a guy who repairs old iPhones and thus has lots of parts, and he was able to put a logic board with 4.3.5 in it into a shell and make a working test device for me.

Nice. I'll send you an email after the event to see what you've got. Thanks

What I'd like to see is their analytics showing how many unique users are playing the game compared with sales numbers from the App Store, to get the actual percentage of piracy that's occurring. Bonus points would be to show how

Anytime I read a comment that uses "lifestyle business" as a demeaning term, I tend to think that whoever said it doesn't have a family, or is sadly missing out on them.

What are the chances the streaming servers will be able to hold up with the demand? Anybody got a favorite mirror for this?

Webhosting talk makes my brain hurt with so much noise vs signal to sort through :-) But I did stumble across http://serverbear.com/ which seems to have some useful information, though many of the plans they show aren't actually available

Any pointers on where you can get a reliable dedicated server for $50 a month? Rackspace (if I'm reading it right at https://www.rackspace.com/managed_hosting/configurations/ ) starts at $789 a month?!

Anybody from facebook care to comment? I wonder if this is done as a bandwidth saving measure on facebook's part, or perhaps to make chat traffic more reliable vs using APNS...

I'm excited to try this! I started down the Stella path but stalled out pretty fast when I found out how much I take for granted from Foundation classes that aren't available and had to rewrite myself in C (like simple file I/O). I'm hopin

Fun list, but morning people do love to spread their belief like a gospel. :-) Some of us quite enjoy staying up late.

Sounds interesting, but I'd want to know what the estimates are for up/down bandwidth monthly. US data caps are common and tech like that could suck them up pretty quickly...

Indeed. I make iPhone/iPad games that are somewhat aimed at seniors, and there is essentially zero point in my following the usual paths of hoping for reviews from gaming or iOS blogs that seniors don't even know exist. Word of mouth is my

Does anybody have a link to the site that tracks user-submitted reviews of security lines sorted by airport/terminal/airline and tells you which lines are forced through which types of scanners? My google fu has failed me...

What's your revenue split between banner and interstitial? I've only been doing banner so far, but have been gearing up to try Revmob. GameCenter's payload size got increased from 4K to 64K - you must move a lot of data! :-) I do agree on

It will run under WINE/Crossover, but blech that's not fun. I wish there was a way to bring Rosetta back on 10.7.

What ad providers are you using? Why did you build your own infrastructure instead of using Apple's turn-based GameCenter like Letterpress does? What specifically was missing, in terms of the quote "more revealing was how deficient Game Ce
