   Iovine (it's an i, not an L) alone is worth spending money on. If Apple is struggling with iTunes and looking to revamp it with an eye towards streaming, as has been rumored, a guy with Iovine's connections to the industry is some

   Huh, thanks for pointing that out! May have to add the misspelled name into the keywords for the next version (iTunes keywords are a PITA: they're limited to 100 characters, and can't be edited between versions). What do you mean

   I fucking love this. Also, I strongly disagree about the name change -- "EDM" might sound stupid, but its widely accepted terminology, and you instantly know what the site does based on the name. EDIT: Since you mentioned Spotify,

   This is really great. UI animation really makes or breaks an app's polish on iOS 7 (no data on developing for Android, but I suspect it's the same), so this sort of inspiration is incredibly helpful.

    This is great advice, and something I do all the time with #warning and #error (works with both Clang or GCC, not sure about other compilers) for partially completed methods or to-dos. When I'm mid-project I'll have "#warning

    This was the very first thing I thought of. In order to take advantage of forms of income with a lower tax rate (eg dividends) you must also pay yourself a "reasonable wage" subject to regular income taxes. However, the tax code l

    This is great. I can already see using it for an app I'm working on to optimize the IAP dialog.

    If you don't want ads then don't use the app. It's not your God-given right to use an app that a developer worked hard to create.

    I use it across an iPad, iPhone, and Mac -- works fine, and I have an abundance of group texts. The only odd behavior I get is that, occasionally, the desktop client will take a moment to catch up to the other devices, or be missing chunks

    Ah, I see what you're saying. Is there indeed a statutory or regulatory requirement to that effect? I'm not an attorney and you are, so you'd know better than me, but it's my understanding that "option" applies

    by w4 13y ago

    Well, sort of. In a broad sense an option is simply an irrevocable right to acquire or do something, without an obligation to actually acquire or do it. You can write options for whatever you'd like, despite securities being the most c

    So, based on the writeup, it's just an option? And this didn't exist already? It seems so obvious in retrospect it's surprising no one had thought to do this. Is there anything special that makes this substantially different

    Sure -- it's a double edged sword, but the point is that Vimeo does not represent a potential YouTube replacement.

    They don't permit all sorts of content that YouTube does, which is what holds Vimeo back from broad acceptance as a YouTube replacement.

    The problem is, frequently, the patents aren't on something you can engineer around; they're on a very broad idea and not on any specific implementation, e.g. pull to refresh. If you want to implement an interface that pulls down

    I'm super interested -- do you guys offer notifications/setting reminders on messages for later (like Mailbox.app)? I really need that, because I'm disorganized and forgetful and it saves my ass constantly.
