I'd like to give you some advice if you are ears. I'm the former CTO of Massify, which set out to do exactly what you are doing, and we did it to a certain extent: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/business/media/10massify.h... http://w

I suppose times have changed, but back in the 90's music software companies used to leak their software to groups to get cracked (this was back when Radium was the defacto group). In fact, #audiowarez used to be a 50/50 split between devs

While I agree in spirit (see my post http://interfacelab.com/is-this-really-the-future-of-magazin... ) his assumptions are pretty wrong. Most of these magazine apps are built on one of three platforms, the biggest of which comes from Ado

Looking at your linkedin you do mostly contract work, so I'm not sure what you know exactly about what you are talking about? People churn through employment based on ambition, boredom and opportunity. In 20+ years I've never met someone w

EC2 is blocked by Hulu and, I think, Netflix. I know I tried that here in Vietnam with no success and went with VyprVPN instead.

Android still has a long way to go. I have the Nexus 7 (I should divulge I am an iOS/Cocoa developer) and I kind of like it, but it still has a cheap usability feel to it. The parallax is pretty obvious which translates into issues like l

I don't like that subclassing generally doesn't work. You can subclass PFObject no problem, but you lose it when you are doing a lot of PFQuery'ing. PFUser would be a prime candidate for subclassing but that really doesn't work without a

I'm not so sure about this. I'm writing a pretty complicated application using parse. It's been great so far. I've been a very vocal non-fan of their iOS SDK though, so much so that I'm actually dropping it in favor of a custom written jo

This is pure horse pucky. First of all PHP isn't about elegance and I find it a teeth grinding experience when people complain about it not being so. PHP is about getting stuff done. He doesn't offer one good valid technical reason why not

I haven't touched Delphi in over 15 years now I think, maybe longer. But I used to be a pretty heavy user of it until Borland went Inprise. Anyways, back when I was hot and heavy with it, I was writing audio and midi software, and I know m

Are you listening to yourself? Can you imagine a "smartphone" mobile platform without AAA game titles? I'm assuming they will have some sort of NDK? Neat project none the less!

Nice, been looking for a solution like this for quite some time. Excellent, well done too! USD prices might be good though.

If it's about higher request capacity, PHP scales horizontally with its share nothing, no application server architecture. I'm not advocating, just sayin'.

I do the standing thing at home, sit down when working at clients. The biggest thing I've noticed is that I'm less likely to dick around on reddit or hackernews if I'm standing, so it's been a boon to beating procrastination which I'm prone

Multi-volume is the biggest point I think. Almost everything you'd get on Usenet uses RAR, fwiw. I know Usenet is a dinosaur, but it's still a highly functioning one.

The iPad app we've been working on is currently using a very useful plugin that can only be found in the Appcelerator ecosystem. I shall be ripping that out and finding some other solution to the problem. There ar

But you can run both on the Mac, at the same time too. I do a lot of OpenFrameworks stuff for in-store retailing (touch screen, interactive displays) and I can run opengl openframework apps in Parallels 8 at 60 fps no problem in coherence

Interestingly, I'm having the opposite thing happen. Due to this MacBook Pro Retina (I have the fully spec'd version), I firmly believe that my Mac Pro will be the last desktop computer I own. While the Mac Pro (about a year old) still smo

I'm in Saigon and I would disagree. I pull out my Nexus 7 and nobody gives a shit. I pull out my iPhone and people ask me if its the iPhone 5 (some weird racial correlation between white americans and Apple). You do see iPhones everywhere

This is great news. I've been using parse on a project and was missing this functionality. As a side note, I'm loving parse, but their iOS SDK is poorly designed. Like really badly designed. I had a few email exchanges with one of their d

Sometimes, when I open my MBP retina, I can see the outline of the keys on the screen and have to wipe the screen off. So my guess is that they are actually touching when closed.

Why not export a struct with function pointers like everyone else? You should take a look at how VST plugins are implemented. You load the dlo, call a function passing in your own struct of application functions and get back a struct of pl

GPUImage can't work with full resolution images on an iPhone 4, only iPhone 4s, iPad Retina. Texture size limitation. * One possible explanation.
