Actually, the record-keeping party of accounting is simple and most accounting software packages store their data in much the same way as this post is proposing. The complicated part of accounting, and the reason why we need actual accoun

They key point here is… who cares? What's knowing what the iOS resolution is going to be in advance really going to get for you? It's not like you'll be able to take advantage of it any earlier. You might say that it will allow app develope

Wow, I can't believe they haven't built a centralised solution and that they think web-based sync is slow because of all the disk accesses. I don't care how big their user-base is, they are still only storing tasks - not images or videos. C

Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any ability to donate via credit card which I think stinks. How could anyone that isn't Australian donate. BTW, if you're a Suncorp Bank customer and you have forgotten your external transfer passwor
