Same here. So far the only answer to that posed question is "Apple called and said I will be featured. Send in artwork." So basically, "How do you get featured in the AppStore?" Answer: "Apple tells you so." Th

If the alternative is to pay 15k for a new one, I don't care what is easier for the technicians. I care about what is most price friendly for me, the customer. If I think about it, no example comes to mind where I would be okay with

Everything looks like it is covered in a thick layer of dust. Looking at these icons makes me want to lick my finger and swish across my screen to remove the dust from those.

Datacaps? When I started internetting the best deal that was available was 100 bucks for 100 hours. That's right, datacaps wasn't even a concern for ISPs. Mostly because they probably didn't even know how to bill this new fad

Yeah, who needs attack dogs or weapons to secure your illegal operation? Just scatter some toys in the front yard and park a mini van with stick figure family in front. Done. No police will ever barge in on your operation as clearly "k

The $100-per-app bounty was clearly an embarrassment. What kind of apps did they think to get with this? Some more fart apps? Cause that is about as complex an app as you can get by spending 100 bucks on a developer. 100 bucks gets you betw

Windows8 to be precise. Wouldn't want that marketing money go to waste, paying people to write about how to successfully upgrade from Windows8 to Windows7 to have a real desktop OS to work with instead of a Frankenstein Hybrid.

Be that as it may, the "tips" on how to migrate to the likes of BitLocker are unusable. What good do me BitLocker encrypted files when I put them on a usb drive and stick it in a Mac or Linux machine? TrueCrypt was multi platform.

True, but I think the rational behind that is that imdb doesn't want someone creating a software that gets used by a lot of people which implements such a crawler. I doubt although I can't say for certain, that imdb much cares abo

Ah, the one who "invented the entire *Kit Naming Scheme" "A Few Years ago". Unless that actually predates the origins of technologies like UIKit, WebKit and the like, I'd think about revising that article so as to n

Isn't this part of the new iOS8? If so, I think I recall seeing the screen which models are eligible and I think the 4S was the first on the screen. Going up all the way to the 5S. So, I think everything before and including the iPhone

The interesting thing is, Apple originally intended that this should be the goto way to get user generated applications on the iPhone. But then, the jailbreak scene came up and somehow Apple changed their stance by creating the app store an

True, but on order to be really useful, an ARM option would be needed. Just think, a 30 dollar RaspberryPi with a bluetooth dongle popped in the back of your TV and you will be able to play any of your Windows games.

I would be interested in the other way around, as well. Could I add XCode to Steam on a Mac and then stream that on my main Desktop? I know I can hook up my MacBook to an external keyboard and monitors but I have a very... integrated setup

I always wonder how the puzzles for games like this are created. Can this be done procedural? Or did you have people sitting there and come up with new puzzles one at a time?
