So they basically hypothesized ADHD is often a symptom of a food allergy, tested that premise and found some strong evidence for it. Just the kind of straightforward and useful study that somehow never seems to get funding. Have a glance at

Presumably, twitter.com is by definition an "official Twitter app." So if you follow a web link to a tweet while logged in or authorize with oAuth, you've used an official Twitter app. Given that possibly expansive criterion, 90% is on the

I would prefer a rebus version, where I circle pictures of Joe Quimby, the letter E, a "C," a wrist, and an arrow soaring over a target. Everyone loves rebuses, right? They're at least due for a comeback. My co-founder and I have a running

They're a lot more abundant than the Mac you need to run Xcode on, though. iTMS cards are purchasable at every 7-Eleven and nearly every major supermarket, Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target or what-have-you in the USA. You can buy Xcode with $5 in

Also, middleware has to be a node on the outside of the graph. It has to substantially all of a problem, not just most of it. So a fully functional physics engine, a complete procedural tree generator, a self-contained front-end system, a

I can see there was a lot of timing and coordination involved, though. Worth the wait!

Yeah, it seemed like quite a stretch. It was like one of those Simpsons episodes from recent years where they paste two plots together that have nothing to do with each other, because neither one can sustain a complete episode.

Have they ever referred to it as a problem? With Google, I always assume they want as much training data as possible for their machine learning. We all know about GOOG-411, right? I bet they're thrilled. And if they get around to competin

So the New York Times deserves the best deal in the App Store because they're such a big company with a great brand? That puts a different spin on "to the victor goes the pricing power."

I presume this is a well-deserved "Hey! We're a group sharing app too!" in light of the Beluga acquisition. Frid.ge should be rebounding off this shot in the press as well. If I was Twitter, private-group functionality would be way, way u

Well, we do know about Costco dropping Coca-Cola and Apple because Costco wasn't satisfied with the terms they were getting. They came to an agreement with Coke but Apple products are still gone. If you're a retailer willing to drop Coca-C

All this talk about Gruber, the fanboy that blindly defends Apple, seems to be missing one thing, which is why he should be unhappy instead. John Gruber in general likes the way Apple does things. Right? Not a controversial position, well

Rhapsody, Sony and Instapaper were all geared up for the old subscription rules. That loud noise you hear from them is from the grinding of gears. They'll get back up to speed, but they sure had to downshift when they weren't ready to. T

Wow, this is really nicely done. This system is a love letter to the best game consoles of the 80's. It looks like it would be great for building small-scale interactive museum exhibits. You want something durable, easy to program, hard to

I think if you cut and paste the URL into the status box in the normal way, Facebook increments the share count. Maybe if you remove the link preview it doesn't, but I haven't tested it. I would just like users to be able to use Facebook t

Is there any way for people to share a URL with their friends on Facebook without affecting a globally-visible count? I have a real-estate site and homebuyers have an incentive not to "tip off" anyone else who could end up bidding against t

So the difference is merely in career security, I guess. Now I understand why CEO pay got so high so quickly: corporate job security plumneting. It corresponded with the rise of CEOs bouncing from one company to another and being executives

Some people have jobs which have them make five to ten new business contacts in an average workday. No, they're not becoming best friends or anything, they're just exchanging business cards. Still, that's only five to ten years of that kin

For tasks with an "every few days" nature, it would be handy to have a calendar with, say, a box for each three days. But you can adapt this method to a regular calendar by marking X's on that day and connected days when you do the action

When I was in my local Apple Store here in LA, I was confused that they didn't have any Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters on the shelves at all. Then I saw they had these instead. The Apple Store had the Moshi adapters completely tak

They do. They can differ in importance, though. The specifics of the product used to be less important. Now with a lot of web and app-based businesses, it's like you can't really explain the opportunity fully without showing the way it wo

Sure, but is it really necessary to make every review a roundup? If you like a product and that's all you've had experience with, I don't think you need an obligatory mention of other products you can't actually recommend. I know we like th

This was years ago but I mention it since the demand for developers was similar. I was going from a really low-paid games job to doing application programming for a large startup. Game programming tends to have even more depressed starting

Five years of experience as a programmer is like becoming a "made man" in a crime family. Before, you're nothing. After, you're trusted and respected. I was in the same job from years 2-5 and didn't see much of a raise. Then when I got a

Except that Steve's quote is a good argument for the conservative interpretation, which says that if you don't use an iOS app as advertisement for non-App Store payment, nothing changes. Because to me it seems like there's no necessary IAP
