Physical vs. virtual goods. In fact, Apple specifically doesn't let you sell physical goods with IAP. As for virtual goods that aren't tied to your app (referring to olivercameron's sibling comment), I don't think that's so clear cut.

Ah. I stand corrected. I @synthesize because I always want foo and not _foo.

The article isn't taliking about apps like Instagram where they were initially restricted to iOS only. It's referring to competitive platform owners like Google, Microsoft and Amazon providing apps for Apple.

Good, but to be fair to every other Mike Ashes, they aren't bad either. I just never know of them :) Thank you for the time and effort put into NSBlog. It's awesome. Had no idea you write for Android now. Will there ever be an NSBlog equiva

The work put into LLVM and Clang is great. But Xcode (the UI frontend) is really one of the worst Apple product.

Handful? Do you mean dedicated product guys? Otherwise, I'd make a wild guess there's much more than a handful. Almost every one running a small business selling their own product has to be the product guy.

I am a major procrastinator. I've noticed that the few times I was able to beat it was when I had projects that were both small enough and which I was passionate about enough to finish quickly. Larger projects are a no-go for me. PS: Droppe

Wow. It's a wonderful book. It's great for Smalltalkers of course, but it's also a wonderful book for OO in general. It's also available on Kindle [1] and Apple iTunes [2]. [1] http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2..

Sorry, I mis-read that. Perhaps they can charge for certain items that can be considered premium, such as verified accounts. I still doubt there'll be a couple million of users willing to pay though.

I'm one of the earlier backers (userid: 886) and paid for the developer tier. Haven't done any work on it yet. Once bitten, twice shy.

Looking at the product as it is now, offering an API for third party app developers that clones the primary timeline browsing experience is a no-no because Twitter gives up control over how they can craft their product experience. For examp

Not impossible, but it's highly improbable to continue. The API changes aren't the biggest factor, but it requires some changes across the entire app, and I would like to take the chance to revamp a good part of it (It's major version 3, I'

I developed SimplyTweet. Wow. I've never knew — but judging from a few emails I've got — I had some users of SimplyTweet from HN. It's sad, but it was fun while it lasted.

It's improbable they would have the amount of users they have now if users had to pay a subscription. Do you think Facebook would?

Probably a CMS generated the URL based on the title which had a title and they fixed the original title but can't change the URL without breaking links.

It does have a more trendy design. Reviews for their app in the App Store hasn't been good though. But it's great to have a variety of choices in what seems to be a hot market. Rumors of Apple having their own offering is really free advert
