Wouldn't it make more sense if the nearby items themselves were broadcasting iBeacons? I think this is what Apple intends to do with the protocol.
If you're sweating the cost of buying a Mac and the annual $100 developer fee, are you really planning to run a profitable business? Those costs should be the least of your concerns.
The market rate for investment bankers is more attractive than my job. Doesn't mean I can just be an investment banker tomorrow. Or a nurse. If I live comfortably on my basic income doing whatever, how do I become…
Having done this stuff for about 15 years now, it is amazing how much of your work is scrapped in 5 years or less. If you're writing some deep enterprise level back-end stuff that is going to be integrated in a large,…
You can have multiple prices of subscription IAP. You just can't do an auto-renew IAP subscription. They only seem to allow magazines to do that. There is a video from WWDC 2012 where they go through each kind of IAP.…
Why can't we just build new, safer nuclear power like India, China, Japan, and basically everyone else are building right now? Whoops, the left has demonized nuclear power so much in this country that people fear it…
Reality is a sad place right now. People are so scared of it, they're willing to believe anything just to not have to think about what's going to happen when the music stops.
RIM bailout? That one I would believe. Open government? Wow, I remember that one from 4 years ago. Skilled immigration? They don't vote for Dems. Unskilled immigration is all he cares about. Pour more money into failing…
If you can't afford to just buy a real iPad mini, you're not really serious about developing and testing on the device.
Actually, I've been considering how to do this for my next app. Not split testing the sale price though, it will be free. (It's just too hard to get people to buy an app outright) I want to split test in-app purchases.…
My point was more how as programmers, the emotional toll of everything that we're making will be destroyed, usually in only a few years. Yes, we're paid. But it's hard to have satisfying work when the result you produce…
So true. Just crushed me...
I too am having lots of doubts on responsive design. I've yet to see an example of a significantly popular and non-trivial website implement responsive in a convincing way. Anyone arguing that "they're just doing a bad…
It's the glittering lure of write-once run-everywhere. Devs still fall for it, even though we should know better.
I'm here, it is. At least certain parts are. There's about a 4sqmi area that almost certainly someone will be murdered in this weekend. Maybe a few. Shootings almost every day. If they're even reported.
> small riot between blacks/whites after the state fair Uh, that's one way to describe it. A large group of black teenagers/20-somes started fighting with each other and then just started jumping white people,…
Same here. Well worth spending $20 on wrist braces just to try.
Also think about how much easier it is to buy used vehicles. All the car buying websites have changed the auto sales industry in the last 10 years. The used car market is much bigger now and more selection, meanwhile…
Also, "click" only makes sense with a mouse. Touchscreens are here to stay.
> Most kids consider college and experience not an investment Fantastic point. Not only should the students/parents be asking themselves about what return they expect on $100k, the people loaning the money should be…
Yeah, it would def need to be easy and cheap to retrofit. Almost like Segways built into the seat or something? Probably makes more sense to go after carry-on luggage. Getting 200 people to sit in assigned seats doesn't…
Was thinking the same thing. Or start charging $50 if you can't fit your carry-on under your seat. Everyone schlepping all their crap through security and on to the plane is 90% of the problem.
EXACTLY. This notion that gen y is some sort of elightend urban dweller is ridiculous. Gen y is the most immature gen ever in American history. They treat college like a party, an excuse to extend childish behavior, and…
The self driving car will be much more energy efficient, especially if they can communicate with each other to optimize traffic flow
I've been saying this is what magazine publishers should be doing for digital issues for years. At least mainstream popular mags. For their print editions they mail surveys to a subset of readers, use those results to…
