No surprise here - the 3 companies (Pearson, Cengage, and Macmillan) are the furthest behind the tech adoption curve of their big competitors & parent companies. And the real threat is from iBooks, but they won't dare go after Apple. If

I travel with an 11" Air and iPad in a backpack very frequently. The article does explain some confusion I've encountered when dealing with the tray stackers association, but I wouldn't limit to them since I've encountered the same confusio

I was surprised to see that there were no rules whatsoever on the consumption/conservation of energy (nutritional or electrical) - such as avoidance of corn flakes encumbered by Montasano patents. i.e. "I only drink rain water and pure grai

Better question: how will the agency model work with apps, since they need ongoing support and maintenance? 22 years after the release of Photoshop, I'm sure Windsor and Newton (artist's paint) are doing just fine. And will continue to do w

Which alphabet - English, Cryllic, Katakana, or Hebrew? Sometimes I've accepted only valid base-64 characters for transport reasons - RFC 4648. Other times only email characters - RFC 5322. A couple of times I was limited to the restriction

Most companies should have access to an accountant to handle the taxes and payment portion. The contract or agreement portion should be done by a lawyer. I can't think of one accounting program that CAN'T do this.

The IBM 5150 with model M was released in 1981. I still use the keyboard every now and then. It's a nice contrast to Apple keyboards which have no travel, no mechanical switches, and weird spacing/sized keys that float. Here's a modern vari

Pretty brilliant, I like the seamless tutorial intro, the only turn-off being some of the grammer in the tutorial. The text in the bubbles should be a bit less, umm, "programmer-ish". Nice to haves: -An "Expand All" button for docs when vie

Why do people continually assume that kids don't have the intellectual capacity to solve problems? The hurdles are only as high as YOU think they are. Kid wants to make a game, kid programs a game. What's so hard about that? The kid doesn't

That's a great technical analysis, but I think it misses the primary business reason why Conde went with images for most magazine apps - it's cheaper and faster for them to create content during each 4-week release cycle. Oddly enough, I kn

Or maybe offer a percentage of the online sales revenue, after returns (and avoiding hollywood math). I've interviewed with several "luxury" retailers within the past year, and my idiot-rejection-filter was usually triggered soon after the
