When developing iOS apps, if you cannot hire a designer in your team, then you or someone else in your team should try and learn some basic design skills. In a market like the Apple App Store where there are a huge number of apps, the easie

Yes, the tracks are interesting. Note how the whale often tracks back and then takes a different route as if he/she was unsure about the route (something we often do on new/unexplored forest trails so that we don't get lost). The sharp turn

It is indeed possible that India may become 'the next workshop of the world'. This will, at least in the short term, lift the country more in the span of a decade than it has risen, against all odds I might add, in the last 50 years. The on

From the couple of talks I heard, I think Apple said something about auto-converting 'at runtime' in iOS 6 existing guide-based layouts into the new auto-layout thing based on constraints.

Apple is introducing auto-layout in iOS 6, which will make it relatively easy to design apps which scale to different resolutions. There were at least 3 talks on auto-layout at WWDC 2012.

India is a big country with a huge population. As with many other complex phenomena, there is no one reason which can explain why India is not doing well in sports. My guess is that the country is just going through a trough. Wait for a few
