I believe the author just has a technical misunderstanding of the way APNS works. In no ways is APNS aware of accounts logged in or logged out of a service - all of this happens on the app developer's server backend. The author's case is pr

This title is misleading. Sure, there are development quips here and there, but I don't think it's more than any other language/platform. "Apple puts usability first" would be more appropriate. Recent news and dissent from developers has be

A traditional economist's view of behavior would answer "yes" to this question even if that isn't always the reality. You hit on the point though - not going back to school could very well be the best thing for you. You won't know until you
