At 1/8 the size will it even have any of the internal storage capacity that I love my current MacPro for?

We photograph about 20-30 weddings per year, and I can vouch for the control aspect. The color of light matters. A lot. Being able to consistently be at 5000K (the color temperature of most studio strobes) makes editing incredibly easier an

I am an example of this mindset. I bought this software to use for our wedding last year. Normally a website looking like this would not be something I'd ever purchase from, but I'm familiar with the guy from several years of forums and mai

In my own direct experience Plus business pages just flat out don't work most of the time. Our business moved back in February and I went to change the address on our Plus account since that's now what appears in search results (it seems to

It's not a backup because it will happily propagate data corruption through making all drives worthless. The only backup-like protection is provides is for sudden drive failure.

I wish reporting a review had at least a non-zero chance on the App Store. I've never had a single result or any feedback at all with it.

For people requesting a refund I tell them to contact App Store support. Their official policy is no refunds, but I've never had someone come back saying Apple said no. With enough hassle they might add a way for developers to do refunds.

You can use those terms if you get permission from Apple. I can't remember the email address offhand, but there is one you can contact for approval.

I'll have to think about it. I'm not sure if disclosing it puts me at any disadvantage, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something.

It's not dead, but discoverability is a huge problem. I still make decent money ($5-6k per month) on an app I first released in 2010, but the two additional ones since then are probably not even collectively over $1000 for their lifetime. U

I tried using Auto-layout on an app when it was first released, but for anything beyond simple cases it's incredibly buggy and unpredictable. It's now the first thing I turn off in any nib.

Adding on to your #3, concurrency became MUCH, MUCH easier in iOS 5. Core Data gained the concept of a background/main thread context and the two methods -performBlock: and -performBlockAndWait:. See: https://developer.apple.com/library/ma

On the tenant side of this, we have rented both through and agent and directly from the owner. The latter has been by far the best in our experiences with lower rent for higher quality space.

For restaurant POS systems the typical cost is typically around $15-20k plus $2k per terminal. For smaller restaurants that don't need more than this package offers it's a bargain.

It is possible they could program it to trigger the cash drawer with the printer even if going paperless, but you would still need to have the printer. Star printers have a control code to trigger the peripheral device. See this for one mod

Those kinds of cash drawers tend to just have a RJ11-style port that the printer can plug into and trigger whenever something prints. They're very dumb devices otherwise and have no wireless capability.

I fear it would end up like the mess we have here in Washington state if they did something like that. We have to collect and report sales tax based on the Zip Code, and the records are updated quarterly. Their data set is something like 14

Not part of this, but I have experienced in the past sporadic download corruptions with users. I've never figured out the exact cause, but a reinstall has always solved it. It's been roughly 10-15 users out of 25000 or so purchases. My best

The margins for a hotel aren't that slim in my experience. I worked IT at a hotel for 11 years, and the standard rate for a room ($169 at the time) was well above the break-even cost for a room (around $30-40 for all related labor and servi
