Have you ever hired people on elance? The company I work for has, and they do create what you want. If you specify exactly what you want, you can get 10 tip calculators for a couple grand.

How do you get that kind of rate? I'm at a bit of a loss on how I could do that, especially with the typical return with most iPhone apps. I am a fairly experienced (now) developer with iPhone apps (3D games, tip calculators, web scraping

Not really, you would have to just modify the StoreKit library to act like a sandbox account all the time, or with the specific app, therefore all in-app purchases would be marked as successful. With server side in-app purchases, you would

Because dictionaries, object-arrays, strings and other fundamentals are way more verbose than they should be: someDictionary["bla"][3] vs. [[someDictionary objectForKey:@"bla"] objectAtIndex:3]; someDictionary["bla"] = 5 vs.[someDictionary

I guess, but considering their high price, well built os, high build quality, you'd think they would add an extra $100 a put a proper processor to fit the image.

It's fairly disappointing that they decided to not include the core i7 in anything as a default processor. Considering they're the "high performance" brand. They only have it on their top model mac pro. And as an upgrade. Core i7s reall

You should submit 10 apps, with minor A/B differences of one app, with minor branded editions (like pokemon pearl & pokemon diamond, a few color schemes, a few different pokemon, not much else). Statistically at least one will get thro

Maybe way back when they didn't really use computer systems to track classes. Now if you don't have the prereqs in the computer system, the computer wont let your register, therefore the teacher wont have you on your class list and you won

if you get stuck, just do the objective c thing: aInt, anArray, aXMLFile, etc. Still fairly generic, but still useful and easy to read (vs single letter variables or random things. Worse comes to worse, you can also just make a sentence

I used to have a macbook, and a thinkpad, and found them of equal quality. I would watch out for the front bezel cracking problem (I got it). Fortunately apple will replace it out of warranty if you goad them enough, since it is an engine

No you don't, especially with a high risk of unprofitability (I am an iphone developer). I own a macbook nano & a desktop hackintosh for development. It's far better than my previous compromise of just one 15" macbook pro. I tend to f

.99 is the minimum you can go, so iphone apps wont get cheaper. Flash games tend to run really slow even with beafy core 2 duos, so I'm wondering if the performance will translate for smartphones.
