We definitely had more video examples planned, but production fell through at the 11th hour, and we decided it was important to ship before WWDC. So it goes. However, the advertisement in the blog post made by Sandwich Video was entirely sh

That true, but this ends up being a game of whack-a-mole, and even a few thousand dollars is too much for a lot of victims. Recently there was an attempt to mount a class action lawsuit, which would have settled things for everyone in one f
