We have. But that's because we're a big publisher and Apple manages our account with humans. They expect us to follow their rules (in return for heightened visibility with the iTunes store curation/editorial/marketing fo

I love breezi. Unfortunately, it is against Apple's marketing guidelines to use their product in unauthorized ways to promote your app. It is loosely enforced, but they have pointed it out to us and asked for a takedown (politely). The

I haven't fully automated this, but I've been using BBedit's batch regex to parse emails. Since these are emails coming from our iPhone app, they're all pretty generic in terms of payload (a few sentences). I just throw

Annnd, we do. No doubt. But that's cultural too. We love hockey. It's in our bones. You'd think siberia would have the best players by your logic.

Also, if you buy, your cost of moving is WAY higher. unless you can know to a high degree of certainty you're staying put for 10+ years at least, renting keeps you mobile. Not everyone can telecommute. Many people should be more mobile

like a commenter suggests on the original post, end users don't care how something is built, but how well it solves a problem of theirs. It's like drucker saying costs have nothing to do with price. So, you can build things with b

Wow, in light of the recent (rumor?) that FB was going to snap up Waze for $1B, this seems like a steal.

You can just use pinboard.in for this, though pinboard.in is like pinterest for introverts (except it's just better).

Right, and Apple debits your account for the purchase price (not the net 70% amount) when a user demands a refund. So a lot of this and you can actually run negative.

Raising the minimum wage a little will help. If you're poor(ish), you basically spend every dollar you earn to survive. Canada has min wages around $10, and you can still buy a bigmac for the about the same as the US. Their sky has not fall

We should also encourage HCI and usability design sensibilities as a technical vocation kids can pursue if optimizing sorting algorithms and the like isn't for them. Making things easier to use, why things are a pleasure to use and why thin

Right. Isn't stock also an indication of future performance expectation (at least in some part)?

I meant Search and their media holdings. Not cloud services. Sorry for not clarifying.

I just submitted, but I'm a product manager - looks like you're focusing on engineers only? We're useful too (sometimes).

PS is really heavy. It's powerful, but cumbersome for app design. Indd is way faster if you're designing up flows. You can change a color universally, embed things in different files in one command, you can set styles for type so every head

Well, this might not be that accurate. There are several app/companies that generate revenue outside of iTunes run transactions. Apple's in-app purchase rules only apply to digital content and services; they do not apply to physical goods a
