They're franchising now, and Pinkberry is looking for more area developers. It's a fad, sure, but in the right locations anything is possible. Back in the time of this article (2006) I'm not sure they were, I did contact them once about it

What happens is that there are companies that will work on products like that, and then they will go on to sell said product for hundreds if not thousands of dollars (if not more) to justify the cost of designing and producing the product

The accessibility features on the iPhone are constantly improving with each update to the iPhone OS and are quite impressive for what is an all-touch interface. While there are bugs and inaccessible applications, I have talked to and worked

140 characters in Korean also go a long way. My Korean-speaking (and Chinese, for that matter) Twitter followers manage to write the English equivalent of entire paragraphs in 140 characters (and unfortunately, some of them like to rant in

It is naïve, but it wasn't an uncommon belief that Obama might have personally authored at least a few of those tweets, and certainly nobody stopped anyone from believing that. Not that I care either way at this point what he does or has do

It's one thing if Obama just didn't get around to using it - that I'm sure we all can understand. It's the idea that "he" was using Twitter, among other services (like an iPhone app..), as a tool to promote his presidential campaign very he

I think there is a licensing fee involved with using the dock connector - at the least you have to apply to Apple and all that. There's no reason why you couldn't have a slide-in case designed to make this headphone jack-based one more stur

Knitting and crocheting and everything fiber-arts related. I love it because it seems tedious or stupid to a lot of people who don't know how to knit, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of creating fun things for my friends and family and

Both ACM and IEEE student memberships come with MSDNAA access. The selection they have is larger than I've seen with three different universities' MSDNAA for CS students, although maybe not always that useful.

Agreed, although I don't know about niche (a lot of people knit...) or underserved. There are numerous resources and communities for knitters and crocheters out there. The only reason why I love Ravelry over them all is because it manag

I think the author forgets that Apple initially told all us developers to forget the idea of a native iPhone app and just deal with having only webapps for the iPhone until iPhone OS 2.0 was released. I think the author also forgets the 30%

So ultimately you want headphones built into the device, rather than simply just retracting headphones. In the end, you'd have to cut the cable or lose the device altogether to lose them. This is only a win-win for people who really love th

The mechanism to retract and store would still have to take up some amount of space. Not all wired headphones have the same type or length of cable. Many of them would just not work ideally, unless it were some open (as opposed to retractin

Possibly because it wouldn't appeal to all the users who don't use the included iPod/iPhone headphones. I for one use a pair of Motorola S9-HD bluetooth stereo headphones with my iPhone.
