You can pick up a copy of AABBYY FineReader from $50. If the software wasn't able to OCR and generated only images, you could run it through FineReader and spit out a PDF or text document. Edit: The website[1] says "Includes software that

I know plenty of professionals who started their master's anywhere from 3 to 5 years after finishing their bachelor's. There are some programmes, including many MBAs, that require this.

The removal was supposedly requested by VLC developers due to licensing issues as previously reported ( http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/vlc-for-iphone-and-ipad-s... ). I'm glad I downloaded it when it was released.

I'd like to move my email away from Google Apps, for various reasons, but they have the best spam filter by far. It's worth sticking with them just for that.

It will show any purchases or rentals made in iTunes (including the App Store) on any platform. Apple will also email you a receipt after a purchase (including free "purchases").

None, probably, because bootlegs are not distributed through the App Store and use an existing receipt.

The Mac App Store has a purchases tab and iTunes on the Mac shows you your purchase history under your account (click your Apple ID in the top right corner and select Account ).

Apple PR: "1 Million Downloads on Mac App Store!" Twitter PR: "900,000 Downloads of Twitter for Mac in 24 Hours!" https://twitter.com/shawnblanc/status/23391070813425666 It's a joke, but I bet there is a heavy skew towards free softwa

The most striking thing for me between Tweetie and Twitter for Mac (Tweetie 2), other than the dark sidebar, was the use of Helvetica instead Lucida Grande. It's subtle, but I believe it's a big step toward making an app feel like it was ma

Easy, reward the improvement in test results, not the test results. This happens now. The problem that can arise, and I remember reading that it does , is that you end up rewarding poor performing schools and teachers that only marginall

A company such as SafeNames is no guarantee though. They've been in trouble in Australia before for registering domain names on behalf of foreign entities that would not have been able to do so normally. In turn, any domains that weren't co

It reminds me of the Navy's sea water antenna system ( http://www.public.navy.mil/spawar/Pacific/TechTransfer/Produ... ). I know nothing about this thing, but I would have thought the plasma would be on the underside of the craft, allowing

I know, but I'm lazy and I'd like to be able to know by looking at a link instead of tapping and holding each number for a few seconds (and then pressing the cancel button if it's a phone number).

"JavaScript skills, especially Sproutcore" It's nice to see that Apple's not abandoning SproutCore even with Charles Jolley's departure from Apple.

If Groupon is heavily localised, what benefit is there to consumer if it's the official Groupon, the fake Groupon or another clone that's offering the deal, other than the clones not being a "brand name"? I'm assuming that any Groupon clone

It's not always as simple as registering a domain name on GoDaddy or a local registrar though. To register a .com.au domain name, you're required to have an Australian Business Number (i.e. incorporate locally). It's easy to get one, but ho

Apple have rejected apps in the past that do nothing more than point to a website. A common way to get around that is to implement a feature in native code, e.g. a banking app that points to the website, but has native mapping functionality
