It's also convention to license Apple-related projects as they do.
Which are generally MIT/BSD variants.

Most registrars and DNS providers also have a checkbox to auto fill out Google Apps details. I know name.com and PowerDNS do.
iOS (with a bit of Android experience) and quite a bit of experience (albeit, on my own projects) in Ruby (mostly the Sinatra framework) and PHP.
I have a gap of a few weeks before starting my placement year (I'm a Computer Science student), but I likely will be looking for projects even when that starts.
Details in my profile, but see: http://nickcharlton.net/
As the deadlines have ended up slipping, they have ended up with a set of very defensive posts about why they haven't yet delivered.
I don't see why you would jeopardize (that might be a bit of a strong word, but I'm sure they haven't done amazingly in sales in the last few months compared to what they had been) your business by attempting something far more complex when your product was already behind others in the marketplace.
There's no reason why they couldn't have gotten cloud syncing working just for them, then rolling out the code into a framework later on. That seems to be the smarter way to go about doing it - not writing a series of defensive posts saying that it's so hard.

The two carriers (Etisalat & Du) have pushed them heavily here. They allow young people to talk to each other without actually talking - which would be taboo.
If you go anywhere in the UAE, nearly all you can see is BlackBerry's. People spend more than half of their time messaging each other, email or otherwise.
I think the Gulf states are trying to apply their power to make RIM play their game. The states will succeed if RIM thinks it's a worthwhile market to stay in.
Back at home though (on Du), it's not blocked.
I suspect it is just an automatic block, but we'll see.
So, yes.
It's the second ebook I've gotten, first one "Learning iPhone Programming" came available instantly.
For example, take a look at: http://www.usabilitypost.com/ or http://www.uxbooth.com/ and http://useit.com/
You may wish to find a usability consultant too, or look for someone who hasn't used your app before with experience in this area to give you a few pointers.
As a silly example; 1000 Twitter followers would not have been valuable in 2006, but in 2009 it holds a value. It's the same with HN ratings.
An issue there is that new users will feel "at the bottom of the pile", and possibly less likely to "rise up the ranks". At least once a project gets going.
If it were to be a web app you could (for example) use a PDF library to produce receipts and handling printing that way. In this case, you could also provide a simple and clear way to customise the receipts.
Certainly the advantage of it being a web app is that you wouldn't specifically have a requirement for Linux (if for example they already have a set of workstations) or installed applications. This would mean that implementation would be far easier and say, managers could quickly pull up the POS system for a specific client in the back office.
The only issue I can see with a web app solution is interfacing with hardware. You would either need to forgoe the possibility of hardware, or work out a way to interface them.
I think there are countless possibilities, most of which will be rather dependent on the local businesses. They seem to have provided you with a lot of breathing space, so it may well be that many solutions will fit and you are free to choose which would work best for you.
However, I also use a whiteboard to scribble stuff on and these can be a great solution for presenting ideas, especially if you can add to them as you present.
I would suggest Balsamiq Mockups too, especially for drawing up interfaces, although you might find that using a "thinner" solution better for you. (Mostly related to the size of the elements in Balsamiq.
What concerns me is startups which wish to run in Stealth, how could someone give advice if they need to be in the "inner circle" to provide help and guidance? (Presuming a VC isn't used).
From their recent "podcast demo" (http://vimeo.com/3934635) they did appear to be close.
I certainly disagree with "So if you want to improve the way children behave in school—for instance, by making them more diligent and less disruptive in the classroom", I think most people can see a correlation between poor quality parenting and badly behaved children. Inside or outside the home. This certainly proves it's point when the average family of University (or College) child age is shown demographically. (Assuming that you exclude financial issues).
Parents have far too great an influence over their children to not matter. This research certainly hinges on undermining the whole of attachment theory, and Freud's work on personality types. If parents did not support certain behaviours then they wouldn't develop. I think that this research on it's own represents a narrow minded view of later development, not something which explains how parents shape their children.
Parents do matter because they create who we are today.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Differences for more explanation.
In the same case, you have to take this for both it's merits and demerits.
I hold the opinion that good hackers should be able to use the most appropriate tool for the job, not debunk one language over another. Twitter was always used as the big example of "Ruby doesn't scale", but I think it showed more to the point that languages don't scale and not that one was better than the other.
