I'm guessing the guy put his mp3 files in his public folder which is as good as sharing them on the web.

I have both devices and use them in completely different ways. The iPad is a poor book reading device but great for other things.

I can pick up the Kindle and use it just as I would use a paper book but I'd never use it to surf the web even if it was possible.

I'm struggling to see how Twitter is of any use in finding customers.

On the other hand spending on Adwords links me directly to people who are looking for my products. For me it is consistent, reliable, directly measurable and profitable.

Apps as entertainment, for most of us probably the complete opposite of eating your own dog food.

This is so true, the constant churn of frameworks for desktop apps has left me very skeptical of anything they offer.

Every day America looks a less attractive place to visit or do business with.

Probably more importantly not X11.

This is really Oracle's news rather than Apple's.

That is exactly why she was asking for references and why you shouldn't give them to a recruiter, only to the employer.

If you have anywhere near a reasonable volume your payment processing shouldn't cost more than a few percent, nowhere near 30%.

Hosting costs aren't going to go away, you will still need a web site, you might be able to save a little download bandwidth but that hardly breaks the bank nowadays.

I don't think Apple are being greedy, I'm sure that is a reasonable reflection of their costs, I just wonder how it will add up for developers like Panic or Omnigroup. If their volumes double then it makes sense, if they only increase slightly or not at all then it doesn't.

If Panic and Omni find that all they have done is reduce their revenue by 30% then they won't stay long. I'm not at all sure the extra volume will be enough to offset the cost, especially if the store becomes full. It is going to be interesting.

I don't think Oracle is even on Apples radar, Apple is largely a consumer/creator focussed business, Oracle is purely B2B.

Nice, I wonder how long before Apple adds the same functionality.
