Sigh, that is a far way down on a site that is painful to read ;) But it is nice to see he is looking into alternatives to publishing his game. It's what he should have done instead of this 100 day nonsense.

Because those are code level support tickets I don't really want to waste on something Apple probably doesn't even have existing policy for. Or, imagine what would happen if I used one of them to ask "Hey, so I have this game I am working o

The big problem with iPhone apps is that there is no way to get initial preapproval before starting work, and where Apple defines what is acceptable for the app store is fairly vague and not consistent. There've been plenty of cases even me

However, mint has no ads, doesn't charge for the iPhone app I use all the time, has never spammed my account in any way... the only thing mint probably does make money from is commission from banks for referring new customers, but if mint c

I don't get why he mentions Mint as well, since Mint is a free product (right now, that is). Can't pirate something that's free..

I was extremely put off by the syntax when I first got started, but I was coincidentally at the same time checking out lisp and getting out of my c/c++/java/c# world (thanks school). It only takes time to get used to. And you are right, it

A few months ago I splurged on a fountain pen that met all my needs (the sleek black lamy studio), and I've never looked back since.

Actually, from what I have heard/read (i.e. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/11/congress.auto.bailout... ) about the proposed bailout, was that it was meant to keep the companies afloat until March-ish. Without, the outlook is a lot gri

I think you point it out well. Users have no business complaining because you won't add some feature they came up with. What if that feature is something the user believes is very important to the software, but you think it's a complete was

It's really surprising how many people don't understand this. I hang out in a support channel for an open source app, and people are downright offended when I tell them that whatever feature they want they'll have to implement themselves be

You could just take K&R and an Objective-C guide and try, but the best somewhat-tailored advice about learning Objective-C and Cocoa that I have ever read was on http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/5/15/... and some

I understand that. My wishing for next year was for Apple to move to a larger venue to have increased capacity, not to illegally stuff more people into an overcrowded venue.
