Maybe i am thinking of the android app store but i thought that Apple, like Google, tried to promote and help new apps get their due attention and get noticed - but it seems that, from the article, that new apps are getting plundered because of every increasing new apps that stack on top of them. I think "new" apps should at least have a month to be more noticeable than lets say something like angry birds, that has had time to collect their own following.
Can anyone verify the differences between the android app store vs apple app store in terms of new app visibility? That is, what are their rules and/or policies regarding brand new apps? thanks
Your skills are only valuable, it seems, if you are willing to work a 6 month contract in the mountains of minnesota somewhere. Ok so i am not really being honest but those sort of things happen all the time to me. That and they want people that can manage some MFC work along with Rational Rose and every other IBM'ish legacy system that would require me to be born 10 years earlier than i was. Then of course you have the HR people call you up and try to verify how many years of experience you have with visual studio and no matter how much you explain to them that its just an IDE and you've done eclipse, netbeans and everything else, they just dont seem to get it.
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
Don't forget this is the same governor that just signed a bill that will allow ILLEGAL ALIENS to apply for state aid and i think they can also apply for student aid at a college after all the legals have applied. California is broke. get out and stay out.
As a developer myself, i have found that the larger the corporation is, the larger the lock-in is. I am not sure whether a bigger corporation seems to feel that everything has to be the same across the board in all its departments or what. I have mentioned this in another post and i will mention it here. There is NO REASON...NONE..NADA for companies to still produce products in MFC(espeically since MS dumped it LONG ago). If a company has a vision to move on to something like QT or at least WPF then fine but when you see job ads for new software products and needing people familiar with MFC(that isnt related to specific porting to another environment) it really makes my skin crawl and it is really holding the developers there hostage.
On more general company lock-ins i wonder how much money a large company would save if all (lets say 70,000) employees including the CEO were using openoffice versus buying a license for every single microsoft office suite. That to me in INSANE.
i just dont understand why you cant pay $99 to use the app store for all apple products. Why is it $99 for mac osx too, considering that its all objective-c code anyway. the only difference of course is the api's, which are equal except touch vs. click.
I grew up in NM and spell it that way too, but the other places I've lived don't.
Nope..I live in New Orleans.
nice, i live in southern mississippi, just up the road from you so hello neighbor - and i like chili in my hot dogs, my homemade chili, on tortilla chips and who knows what else.
the viability of stability of small channels is not my problem to solve. If it folds it folds. No where should we be forced to subsidize any tv channel. When people are trying to save a buck here and there people should have more choices. I was recently able to lower one tier on comcast and now i save $20 a month just for that. Most people out there think what is on tv is junk anyhow and a lot of the same channels some the same syndicated crap that we have all grown to hate so much. In my case i would only want ESPN during college football season(Sept to January), a couple of live news channels year round. wife likes lifetime and HGTV and Food Network. That about the only channels we watch. Discovery is worthless now. Animal planet shows nothing but reruns. Even if ESPN were to cost $10 a month and the others $2 a month I would be looking at $10 a month for all the local channels(2-13), about 3 channels at $2 each and during the fall $10 for ESPN. So thats $16 a month Feb to August and $26 during football season with the addition of ESPN which is 2/3 less than what i am paying now for the cable package that i have. I'll gladly take it.
well all i know is is that i turn in the tv on saturdays this time of the year and every stadium or most stadiums are packed out with 30K - 100K fans across the spectrum, not to mention all of their fans watching on television. Saturday night college football games are religiously followed. i dont have stats on me I am just going by what i observe. I did just look up tv ratings for one specific game,.

and this is just one game, probably one of the more popular, but still those numbers are more than 2 of the regular programming shows on at 8 and always the top rankings throughout saturday night.
isn't this anti-consumer? How in the world can you charge $50 for a package, remove the most expensive part of that package and continue to charge the same amount?
.... Most people do not care about sports at all....
this really isn't true. do you know how many people watch college football on saturdays that arent in the stands counting in the thousands upon thousands?
the problem is, is that I, personally, am going to buy something when I am ready to buy it and only if I have decided that I want it. Seeing an ad(i have firefox adblock, flashblock, noscript so i dont see ads anyway but let's assume that i did) isn't going to make me want to buy a watch that I wasn't intending on buying, buying a watch that I was thinking about buying or buy a watch faster if i know that i really need one and it most likely wouldn't be the same brand watch anyway because i don't buy based on brand.
It is very fascinating on the television side too. A channel like CBS charges advertisers a certain amount of money based on how many people are watching a show yet the advertisers still pay out the butt despite the fact that tons of people do the following when commercials come on: take a dump, put it on mute b/c they dont like commercials, change the channel, browse the web, cook dinner, use software to record and skip past all the commercial mumbo jumbo, etc etc.
or is this just another case of pushing the limits and seeing how much they can get away with? Also i would like to know if someone or some people are going to continue to monitor to see if they actually are implementing back to the old ToS or are just reverting back to it on paper only yet still using peoples data anyway.
yeah i know this i just don't know how it can be illegal for a local government entity to lay down their own network. the idea that a corporation can hold a city hostage to not allow any competition really makes me sick to my stomach.
why wouldn't any court allow it? There is no way that you can argue that comcast owns the lines in my city - especially since the taxpayers paid for it.
what is wrong with each county/city/local whatever having the rights to the lines/cables/ducts and leasing out the bandwidth to companies like comcast/att/verizon to sell service? then we could pick and choose what we want based on package plans and deals? Isn't that the whole crux of having everything neutral? I think that local government with responsible oversight > federal government. Why did local municipalities not use those lines that they could lease out to help pay for local infrastructure instead of letting big corporations control it all?
wrong... without paying the $99 i cannot even test my app that write and load it onto my OWN iPad2 that i paid for unless there is a round-a-bout to getting the cert key....??
The one thing i hate about Apples walled garden is that I have to pay $99 a year to test an app on an actual device that I OWN.
FWIW, this is also true in WP7 - you can develop apps and run them in emulator for free, but deploying to the device requires a developer subscription.
then i stand corrected but then again it makes no sense - its my device... if i want to write an app that makes it walk across the street and jump off the bridge into the river then i should be able to do just that.
well correct me if i wrong but it sounded like MS was going to allow regular old folks to test their apps on devices as open distribution, and i read individual sharing as one of the distribution mechanisms - without being a developer or a part of the enterprise network. Again correct me if i am wrong here.

what i find ridiculous is that its $99 a year for iPad/iPhone and ANOTHER $99 a year for Mac OSX. Greed anyone?

I'm going to let you re-read my comment. I specifically said Mac, and then went on to say that for iPad, Apple does indeed control the flow of apps.
Windows 8 is a real computer and tablet OS, remember.
ok gotcha. My question, and maybe you know, is why do they let you test on a mac and not your own Ipad which you also own...??
wrong... without paying the $99 i cannot even test my app that write and load it onto my OWN iPad2 that i paid for unless there is a round-a-bout to getting the cert key....??
but not on an iPad2 which i also own. So why can I not test on the iPad2 then?
