Perhaps most of the 2 weeks (which I thought was the average time for app approval - has Apple gotten the turnaround down to 1 week already?)
its 2 weeks right at the moment because OS X Lion 10.7 apps is being released. All the OS X App Store apps are being resubmitted (well, all the ones that matter) to verify they work in 10.7.
Before Apple started the 10.7 push, say late may or early june, it was possible to get an app submitted on Monday to be approved by Friday, but only for a pretty trivial app. Larger apps take more time.
Except... it didn't take longer than normal, it in fact, took an average amount of time.
How do I know? Welp, one of my apps was approved yesterday as well.
Just for reference, you're kind of an idiot if you expect a blog named 'Android Power' where the author says he's 'out to irk iPhone users' to be a reliable source of information, even more so for trying to defend them.
You guys keep saying that, but its simply not true.
Android users are not the same group of people that would use iOS. If you've used both, you'd know this already and understand why.
You might as well say Linux is competing with OS X. Yes, it technically may be true, but its still a retarded statement to make considering they target different groups.
"Apple approved the Google+ app for the iPhone on Tuesday, and posted it to the App Store. It's unclear whether Google has created an iPad-specific app. Two weeks ago, a Google employee said that the company had submitted Google+ to the App Store... on July 4. According to that timeline, Google's app took twice as long as the majority of submitted apps to win Apple's approval."
Yea, and if you had even a quarter of a clue you'd know why... the submission system is backed up with apps being recertified for OS X 10.7.
ALL APPS are taking a long time right now, I also had an app approved yesterday, that was submitted on the 8th of July, and its a trivial silly game thingy with no useful functionality that would require testing.
The submission queue always gets backed up when a new OS release comes out. In a few months, when they start rectifying for iOS 5, you'll see the exact same sort of thing.
Considering even the most trivial of apps now days wait several days to a couple weeks to START the process of being reviewed after submission, then take a minimum of a week on average for a normal review, I'm not entirely sure where any of the statements made in the summary came from... certainly not from any basis in reality or on fact.
It blows me away how so many people that should be 'in the know' are utterly ignorant of the environment they work in.
You want a white roof when you life in the south, where heating in the winter isn't a big deal, but cooling in the summer is, so you want to make your cooling lower.
You want a dark roof when you life up north as its far more effective to help the heating than it is to worry about the few times during the summer when you need cooling.
And more importantly, recoating the roof for a multistory building is only going to have an effect on the upper floor, not those below it... which aren't exposed to sunlight, so you won't get a 10-20% savings across the building, only on the upper floor. That doesn't mean its not worth doing, it almost certainly is if your roof color is the wrong one for where you live.
My point? Clintons ignorant simplistic view is a shining example of why you don't ever listen to advice from has-been politicians such as himself and his vice president.
Frankly, it's about time this idiocy stops. In no other business can you sell someone a device, then charge for its use.
So at no point in your life have you ever seen a 'telephone' then have you? You buy the phone then pay to use it, its been that way since the government stepped in and stopped it from being you paid out the ass to lease a phone and out the ass to use it.
Considering mine iPad has cellular and a phone number, its not like its impossible.
Of course, I do actually send and make calls if for some reason my phone doesn't work, on my ipad... but thats VoIP which is only brought into play if the closest landline is at least 48 hours away from me at best possible speed, but thats with another couple of non-builtin apps I've added.
I was surprised at how lazy most of the students were because they had so much extra time than I did when I was an undergrad
Thats because there isn't another point in your life where you will actually have more 'free time'. After college you'll continually have more and more responsibilities until you start gaining disabilities, which will start eating into your time.
Most college students think theres not time for anything and its really hard... and then they get to the real world and find out they have no clue what 'hard' is yet.
No, that's not likely to lead to any sort of elitism or discrimination.....
Yea, god for bid we run that slight risk rather than have someone in office that actually know how the miltary works.
WTF kind of illogical thought pattern gets you to the point that you think the guy in charge of an organization should be the guy who knows absolutely nothing at all about it?
Its should be a legal requirement to have served in the armed forces in order to be president.
If you know about security, then you also probably know that setting passwords on wifi won't guarantee you security anyway.
IF you knew about security you'd knew that stopped being true 6 years ago.
Anything you want to e secure should be done over ssl, ssh, or VPN.
Really, so AES used for SSL, SSH or your VPN (assuming it does use something at least as powerful as AES) is somehow different than AES used in WPA2? Please enlighten me on how, I write this sort of software for a living, I'd leave to learn something new that no one else has ever heard of.
Another thing to mention, even if you use Ethernet, your data can be sniffed off the network as soon as it hits the ISP anyway if its not encrypted.
Unless of course, you're using SSL or some other for of encryption for your data... and either way, broadcasting on an unencrypted wifi network is more like shouting your data at the top of your lungs in the middle of the street and then bitching that someone else heard it, where as a wired connection is more like a personal message sent through the mail. One is FAR more likely to cause you problems than the other for a number of reasons.
You traveled to Sydney many times ON BUSINESS... and didn't experience a lot of the open wifi access points that are located in RESIDENTIAL areas... shocker... really
Unless you happen to be doing business in someones house, then your experience has no reason to match with these results.
You see he thinks he can simply speak rationally to the cops and they will see their mistake and with a tip of their hat kindly go away.
Its more likely that he's confident in his abilities and confident that he could convince a court of law that he is correct. Being that he and his company have been called on many times as expert witnesses in this sort of thing, I'd say he's probably got a good handle on what he can legally get by with.
Of course, I still think the open wifi is retarded for a number of reasons.
And you seem to think America is a gestapo police state already so this whole discussion is probably pointless for you, eh?
(I recognise the irony in saying this rather than doing it myself, but as I'm not a US citizen nor do I reside in the US, it'd be difficult at best for me to follow through.)
Interestingly enough, neither are most of the patent reviewers. The only way you'd be unqualified is if you said you weren't going to give priority to companies applying for patents that are based in your homeland.
You didn't pay to use the data on something other than the phone, you paid for unlimited data for use on your phone. It may be a retarded distinction, but thats what you paid for. You jailbroke it so you could steal something you did not pay for.
You can call it any number of things but you're just a simple thief, and apparently one who isn't even capable of finding an untethered jailbreak.
Actual ownership of your device. Sorta like how your PC doesn't try and fight you.
What does that mean? I'm pretty sure I own it. I do pretty much anything I want with it. There is no reason for me to jail break it. You're only reason seems to be 'because'
Pre-3.0 I would be all for jail breaking as it had no tethering, since 3.0, there hasn't been a single legitimate reason to haxors it, every reason you can come up with is either a silly temper tantrum sort of thing or just an excuse to steal in one way or another.
Even though most TSA employees would leave instantly if there was another job available.
Bullshit.
There ARE jobs available. Its fucking America you whiney bitch. They CAN do something else. The fact that they'd rather grope people and subject them to bullshit they don't deserve rather than work a real job is not my fucking problem and I feel absolutely zero sympathy for me.
I'm sorry that you'd rather work for the TSA than for McDonalds, but McDonalds is always hiring so you could always get a job if you wanted to, but that job is 'beneath you' apparently. Thats not my problem nor is it something thats going to slow me down from making anyone part of the TSA have a shitty day. Your using the same argument to justify letting this shit slide as done by managers at chain retail stores... 'oh I cant do anything about it, bitching at me will do no good'... yes, it will, eventually you'll prefer working for somewhere that people don't treat you like shit
I will apply pressure at every point that I can to them. I'd spit in their face if it wouldn't land me in jail, there is nothing acceptable about what they are doing. Its not even a little bit fucking effective even, I know this cause I've taken so much shit on flights that is against the rules since this shit started that its not even funny. Not intentionally, not trying to go to jail or prove a point, but because I simply forgot. I've walked onto airplanes with caustic chemicals and knives in my pocket... after being swapped and scanned, I know for a fact that anyone making any effort to hide something would find it trivial to get through these systems. Have you SEEN the resolution of the scanners?.
'Its my job' is a not an acceptable excuse, its something said to to get people like yourself to go along with it. Stop being such a tool.
So, I suppose we should personally research every scientific finding?
Well, if you're going to spout on about it like you know about it, then most definitely.
As a general rule however, whenever something is controversial than any rational intelligent person will put some effort into understanding the issue rather than just assuming one side is right.
If you knew ANYTHING AT ALL about quantum theory, you'd know that the people who really understand it... don't understand it at all, its one of those things.
As far as obesity and junk food, I'm 35 years old, weigh ~120 pounds, and my diet consists almost exclusively of junk food, mostly mountain dew code red, peanut butter, and whatever fast food restaurant happen to look appealing today.
My point is that while you were spending your time trying to be snarky, you utterly failed to realize that your spewing statements based on equations to which you only know half of, and are only filling in half the numbers.
You'll always be a gullible fool, and you'll always think you aren't.
Do I believe in global warming, most certainly. Quantum mechanics, sort of, I think we have it wrong in our understanding, but thats just part of the learning process. And yes, eating really shitty will have an effect on you, but 'eating junk food' doesn't mean you have to be a fatty, assuming your body can tolerate it or that you just simply balance your junk food diet, which can be done.
You blindly believe what someone else tells you without understanding why, and that makes you one of 'the problems' in the world. You don't have to research everything, but you do have to have enough common sense to not believe that everything you hear on the nightly news is the whole story and 100% factual. I'd think with something as controversial as global warming, you'd instinctually think that maybe you need to form your own opinion, but instead you feel content letting someone else form an opinion for you.
Seriously, throw an active sonar pinger on it, before it surfaces to send radio data, have it do a few active pings and make sure no one else is around before surfacing, sending the data, and re-submerging.
You'd probably want to put a little effort into having multiple sensor units pinging at the same time to make it hard for them (the pirates without a lot of tech) to triangulate based on the pulse source.
You're talking a 5 pound sonar module and a few lines of code, a few thousand dollars, far far less that putting a bunch of fully crewed ships burning fuel and food in the area. Hell, do they not already have sonar modules on them for sensing water speed and temp at depth, or looking for thermoclines?

My point? Clintons ignorant simplistic view is a shining example of why you don't ever listen to advice from has-been politicians such as himself and his vice president.
According to Apple, if your iOS app needs documentation, you did it wrong and you need to fix it.
I tend to agree with them.

Why should students in the NCAA be any more monitored than regular students?
The fact that they get more fame than normal means they are more likely to make mistakes?
The fact that history has taught us these kids WILL do bad things and need to be monitored to help protect them from themselves?
Are not allowed to benefit from it at all? Are you fucking kidding?
No, that's not likely to lead to any sort of elitism or discrimination.....

No, they won't.
