Can't forget the sad reality that they can pretty much bill you whenever they want. We've received healthcare bills as much as six months later!

I was the same, except I targeted a different portion of the economy. I became a resource dealer. The resource spawning system drew my attention, and I ended up spending countless hours developing tracking systems outside the game to both k

You can access the Picture/Video library since iOS 4. It does prompt at least once for location access (apparently since they can contain GPS metadata), but it does not mention anything about why it's asking for that location access. htt

I am a photographer and have run into a secondary problem that results from blocking the easy means of saving an image. Most of our clients just want to share an image on Facebook and more than a couple have then just used their camera phon

There's one benefit of watermarks (to the copyright owner) that's often overlooked. Removal of a watermark makes it much easier to prove willful infringement in a copyright lawsuit, which has a lot higher penalty. I don't remember the parti

It would be nice if you could still view existing reports, crash reports, and issue promo codes during this time period though. Those are all automated and will still function without the employees there. Last year was the first year I expe

Possibly, but I don't personally feel the screen on those is good enough for pro-level photo work. Some do, but for me there's no substitute for a high-end matte display, so the built-in one is sort of unnecessary when you already have one

I don't see them abandoning the Mac Pro without filling that niche with something else. They sell a large number of "pro" apps (e.g., Aperture, Final Cut, Logic, etc.) that all work best when run on a Mac Pro. Speaking from direct experienc

The 5DII would have also been more accurately compared with the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II lens (according to the Exif data the sample photo was shot at 24mm). The iPhone 4S's camera is a fixed focal length while the Canon lens they used is a

Because it's much, much easier and quicker to run most builds in the simulator, especially when you're not dealing with something that has a tricky performance point to balance. At least with the iOS simulator, it makes debugging low memory

There's one inline image it hasn't managed to get through to grab yet, but it seems to have snagged the rest.

As a side note to this, the Apple TV works very, very well for streaming from your iTunes movie library. I'm in the slow-ish process of converting my entire DVD library over to video files that iTunes likes for this purpose.

I have a Comcast business line. While I've never tested the unlimitedness of it, it does have its own sets of pros and cons: + Constant, consistent price. There are no promo deals of any sort. - More expensive by $15-20 per month.

You can use something like Amazon Route53 for your name servers at much lower than that. It's $1/mo per domain + a small cost per unit of traffic

In most tax jurisdictions they call this a "Use Tax". In theory here in Washington you're supposed to file that with the state annually/quarterly/monthly/whatever interval they set for you, but in practice no individual actually does. Busin

Their existing web interface is touch-unfriendly in a few ways, most notably when it comes to modal popovers with scrollable lists such as a page's fan list.

I hate the trackpad with the integrated button. I much prefer the older style where the button was separate from the dragging area. I also do not like glossy screens, so I'm forced to pay more to get a matte screen.

On the topic of properties, I also find it helpful to define the property and variable to have different names (e.g., NSString _foo; for the variable and @property (nonatomic, copy) NSString foo; for the property). When mapped through @sy

Unless you're in Washington state like me. Then only about half of their total functionality works due to the antiquated system they still have in place.

She manages insurance of some sort -- I don't know the specific details. She does have a completely separate, dedicated working space for it. It's as far away from the kids and the noise as possible.

My sister-in-law has two kids (2.75 years and 1.5 years) and works from home. She has two or three girls set up on a rotation that come over and watch the kids for a number of hours most days of the week so she can get some work done. It wo

The ranking mentioned is also the "Top Paid" one. That is pretty meaningless for a relatively inexpensive app ($2) in a niche category. My direct experience has been with the iOS App Store where I've never once been above #25 in the top pai

They still don't seem to work with the app though. I've tried multiple approaches and it keeps claiming the key was rejected by the server. The ssh log only shows: Apr 14 21:20:51 ip---- sshd[31560]: Received disconnect from ---------

Agreed, but I will take boring any day over the abomination that was MySpace. User-customizable styling only works when users have the taste and technical knowledge to use it appropriately.

Unlike a patent, you have to actively defend a trademark for it to remain valid.
