I recently got a pair of MetroFit 220 by LE which can be found for around 80$. (http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/store/products/met...) Which I like alot. They are buds, put they come with 3 plastic ear pieces of different sizes so you should be able to make them fit. I got these over an active noise canceling one since all the noise canceling ones I have used (and it could just be the ones I used) seem to let out alot of noise when noise canceling.


Not really about the app (It looks neat however) but on the site, the "Take a tour" section should display the screen shots in a gallery, lightbox or some such. It's rather hard to view them all.


Guess it IS a lightbox. If you click on any of those thumbnails, it opens a lightbox slideshow.


'For us the living' is also another interesting book by him. Sorta the anti-Atlas Shrugged.


Another good introduction to Ayn Rand is the 'Virtue of Selfishness'. Its a collection of her essays with some that were written by people in her group. Its pretty short (100ish pages) and in my opinion says about everything she was trying to say in Atlas Shrugged.


The page does make it clearer when a company has endorsed the page or not. A couple observations

* I don't think the "X has Opted Out of this Community" and "X is not yet participating" states are both needed. Just labeling it as unofficial in both cases should be enough.

* The wording in the post a topic to the forum (#6) is strange sounding to me. Maybe "Ask X customers a question"


Well, showing "Opted Out" might save someone at the company having to answer eighteen hundred emails from people suggesting this cool service they should use. ;)


With the added complexity of making it mulitplayer you would also have to deal with the increased costs of keeping the game running. Right now when they finish a game the only recurring costs they pay is hosting,bandwidth,and support. If the game fails , except for hosting , those costs would go down (less people buying game means less support etc). But if a multiplayer game fails you have to keep the servers running or risk pissing off the people who bought the game


full disclosure : I worked on the project


If its a restful web service you could try http://github.com/yfactorial/objectiveresource/tree/master . It's basically a port of Active Resource to Obj C. You can use it if its not a restful service you just have to override some functions.


The difference is that very few if any plugins are sold and it is somewhat easy to downgrade to an older version of Firefox. Could you imagine what would happen if iPhone OS 2.3 came out and 10% of the apps in the itunes store stopped working? It would be a PR nightmare for Apple.


Well, another big point is that Mozilla pre-releases it's software. I'm not 100% aware, but I don't think Apple provides the same convenience to developers.

Wouldn't you like three days to see if your software is going to run smoothly after the update?


That dot operator took me forever to understand , its highly unintuitive. @synthesize should of just created the setMethod and getMethod that would make sense. Not some weird property light. I'm also a big fan of the parameter descriptions, it makes it really easy to read.
