I'm one of the two people at Focused Apps. We make Emoji Me and Hit Tennis for iOS.
The "originally written" requirement is different because it's not something that Apple could restrict by means other than by telling us, "you can't do that." It's kind of like saying, "Don't program in a functional style", or "Use a model view controller architecture." Uhm, excuse me? I'll decide that for myself, thank you very much!
But this is different. Apple telling us programmers not to write source to source compilers, is telling us to ignore a totally fundamental technique in computer science. They're telling us not to be too clever, which us programmers don't take kindly to.
That said, watching Walt's video got me super excited about getting one of these puppies. :)
I kept re-reading this and saying, what? He thought going on the moon was disappointing?? Ooooooh, "it" == "Obama's decision". :)
I don't see how that demonstrates the allegations are false. It demonstrates that there must not have been an extortion scheme that every business paid into.
Update: see mustpax's comment. Yelp is making a statement about businesses which have paid them.
And apparently people who hadn't tweaked their default privacy settings before (which is probably most people), had the "Everyone" option selected by default. I'm not saying Facebook was intentionally doing something shady, but my reaction was, "Wow, a lot of people are going to be tricked by this."
Oh wait, you say it’s a “conservative estimate?” No, the conservative estimate is that you burn through all your cash in nine months and start taking on consulting gigs to delay a return to a “real job” in corporate America.
