Wholly to be expected at this point. Until Windows 8 hits the shelves and people start using it there is little incentive to build specifically for it - and since Win7 apps run perfectly well in Win8 there is little reason to focus on Wind

If sites respect the DNT flag sent by the browser then this really should be a great step forward for user privacy contributing to a better web from a user's perspective . As a user I don't care about your politics, alliances, bias, or nef

As an end-user of these services will I be able to identify which developers should receive my payment? For instance if I run two apps that use their service - a game that I play every few days and a social aggregator that runs in the backg

In a similar manner - if you aren't driving a "north american" car you're not even allowed to park in any of the close lots at the local GM plant. you basically park further away then everybody else as your punishment. When mixed with the

Luckily there are more than just 2 parties to vote for... true, the PC and Liberals were the top dogs but the oft-overlooked NDP certainly bumped things up last time and the Green - well, they were given a seat off in the backwaters of BC..

Next week I was going to begin building my first TV app for Samsung's Smart TV - using Flash. Given the timelines I'll probably still go this route but do wonder what this announcement means for Samsung and LG's TV plans.

Having recently built a mini site to host info about an iPhone app I can appreciate where the idea is going... unfortunately their pricing seems fairly out of place with what's being offered. I built a small supporting site and tossed it up

As an app developer this is great news... can't wait to see some of the innovative uses that come out of this. The demo video released earlier this week of kinect/windows phone 7 integration was a great first step.

As mikecane pointed out - get your book on Amazon. I've found that 80% of my book sales come via Amazon - if possible put out an ebook version and a publish-on-demand through them as well as people still do go for the physical book often e

In similar news today: Telemarketer hit with $500,000 CRTC fine. Good to see that they are pursuing these major cases and forcing fixes. Still, I didn't sign up for the Do Not Call specifically because I believed it would increase my junk

I picked up the LG Optimus 7 phone last week and really am impressed with it. The screen is just the right size - I almost feel it is too big but it sits comfortably in the hand. A 4" screen would be too much. The LG apps they added actu

unfortunately I've fallen victim to an over ambitious project and a lack of time to accomplish my goal. That said... I'm really pleased with how far I've come and what I did manage to get done. I know I'll miss the end of November deadlin

I'd love it if we could get a better breakdown of app-types: 1) paid download 2) free-to-download and play 3) free-to-download with in-app purchase This would not only be more reflective of the state of the game but also allow me to make be

Too bad I didn't see this sooner - it would have made a nice simple way to keep track of the various municipal elections happening across the country at the moment. If this could be customized for the user's location (or per account) so tha

I haven't plotted out the amount of work to do yet but I've got my basic project outlined and down "on paper". I'll be drawing up my targets and GANTT chart this weekend. I'm probably biting off more than I can chew but I'll adjust where

You should also consider the timing of the announcement. This pricing change was made on a Monday morning - people are already grumpy from returning to their regular work week but it also was a "special" Monday as it was a holiday for some
