In Asia, you can walk into most malls, go to the Electronics section, and almost every other vendor will have a dirt cheap (in US standards) offer to jailbreak your phone for you. From there, a basic upsell (or free with jailbreak) is to i

Negatives are easy to point out. Similar to how "People don't know what they want", if something is working right, people may not notice it because it just works. However, if something isn't working right, it's oft

It is easy to say today that everyone knows what the concept of a shopping cart is and that anyone could have come up with the idea of applying that concept to online shopping. This is why a common argument against software patents is, if

I believe you can purchase apps you haven't purchased before. The writer of the article I read on this tried it. I've downloaded free apps whose latest versions weren't compatible on my device, and got the older version tha

At the root directory of every project I have, I have a notes.txt. It contains my To Dos for that project, as well as other misc information. I just mark them [DONE] when they're accomplished. I never have to leave my IDE, get online

Congrats man. Write and ship an app in one weekend is like the goal I could never reach. The closest I came is a long weekend, some hours the next week, and the weekend after that. The other time I got close was two full weeks. It takes m

True story: Before Intellij, I was working for a client whose IDE standard was VisualCafe. I hated it so much and kept interfering with what I was doing that I actually reverted to Notepad and building/testing via command line. Not all
