I think it's been fixed, at least with respect to spaces. I checked, and many of their applications don't come up as having spaces anymore.

I get quite a lot of traffic from when I'm mentioned in a blog, and even from when I've leave comments. I say "a lot" in relative terms, my blog is only a few months old, but to me its a great start. I also put the site in my sig on the for

I don't think his lawyer is an idiot. We don't know what rjett told him. Sure, if you're immediately going to get funding, a C-Corp in Delaware is great. If you're just starting your own company, an LLC saves you a ton of dough. There's no

You've got it right. Its all about value. If you value having a phone that can play OGG files, then you won't buy the iPhone. If you can't stand iTunes, you'll do it different. The original author's argument would only be compelling if ther

Yeah, from what I can tell, ad-hoc distribution will take care of a lot of the issues. My understanding is anyone can develop any application and install it on their own phone and up to 100 other users, without authority from Apple. You sav

You're right, the definition of free software they use makes things very sticky. But while there might be restrictions on what applications can be made, Apple hasn't said they will restrict free versions of other people's software. I mean,

Thats a good point. What's your estimate on how much support you'd need to provide? I'm not being a pain here, I'd really actually interested to know how much you think you'd have to do, and where that intersects with making money to make t

You have to opt in to location based tracking (although the cell phone company can always know where your phone is, and give it to law enforcement). If you turn off location based tracking, I believe all applications are supposed to reset a

Ok, using logic 'n all, a lot of the arguments don't make sense. Which is sad, because put differently, I'm sure whoever wrote them could have made them effective. The iPhone does not completely block free software. Last time I checked, the

I wasn't kidding. :) The advice in that blog post is fine if users like your mom are not going to be part of your target audience, or if she'll use it just because she's your mom. But if you send her to the homepage and she can't figure it

yeah, I thought the repeated photographs were weird too, made me think I wasn't getting the idea or something. I would replace them with a set of photographs that are obviously related. Tell a small story. A lot of work, sure, but its your

Yeah, they can refuse you. But they said they wouldn't unless it violated their general rules. So you're right, one day everything could go poof, and a lot of people are nervous/annoying that Apple isn't very clear on what exactly you need

Even if you could pick the day, testing the above hypothesis would be very hard. IF you could guess when the most iPhones would be bought, you couldn't possibly know when people would first visit the App Store (they might not go on the same

I don't think they got to pick the day its released. It was either get included for the launch, or wait until we accept your app.

As far as I can tell, if all your product pages are dynamically generated, then if someone does a search for your product, they won't find it, because the search engine robot can't input information to get the page to return the results (al

Pick up the book "The Elements of Typographic Style" or just read the first chapter. Not sure if that counts as one of those studies that uses poor methodology, but they generally go with serif for easier reading of long passages, but not m
