I started my first programming job, well trainee programmer in September 1989. Five people applied for the job and I ended up taking my TV and Atari ST to the interview to show the…

Just started using Parse for a clients app am developing. It is a social network type app! I wanted to actually use Facebook as the backend but the client didn't as they thought it…

Used this during the race and it was damn impressive, think it dropped out about 3 times. I would say 95% of the race it was accurate. But I can't get my head around how it was all…

SEEKING WORK - North West, England, UK I mostly use Corona SDK (have 3 apps on the iOS App Store), also have basic knowledge of PHP, HTML, CSS, JSON, XML and WordPress. Currently u…

Got my son a Nexus 7 for his birthday and he loves it, am impressed as well (currently have a iPad 1). One thing I don't get though is how some top games are free on android and co…

Love AppShopper, hope it's not effected. Have about 50 apps in my wish list, waiting to drop in price. Before I buy any apps on the store, I always go through AppShopper, presuming…

That site (betabeat) is impossible to read on my iPad, I could see the headline and scroll to the right for other headlines but couldn't get to the actual article. Dave

This is really interesting, I use Corona SDK to develop iOS apps and there is no way in Corona to manipulate images directly in this manner. Dave

My feed is very active but no one I know personally is on it. I follow about 10 people and have about 1700 in the hacker news circle. Posted my resume on their for some feedback, d…

Looks a really good app and I understood exactly what it does, just be first image and text. What I would like though is a little tick box for it to not close apps that are already…

I read (might have been on here) that Angry Birds Space made $10 million dollars in its first week of release. I have 2 games on the app store and so far have kept away from IAP as…

Police in the UK have had these devices in their cars for a long time. I have spent time with the police watching how it works and it's pretty impressive. While sitting in the poli…

Apple actually let's you have 2 versions of the game, one free with IAP and a paid version without IAP. Also I believe developers go with a IAP to unlock the full game to avoid hav…

I use to be a press photographer (now develop mobile apps) and I can already think of some really useful apps I would love to have had on my camera to help with the job. Dave

Big online company in the UK do something simular to Amazon, never tried it but looks a good idea. Basically they have collection points around the UK where you can have your parce…

I clicked the link thinking I was going to be reading a page about developing apps for Blackberry. Dave

Chrome on iPad. The text is to low on the buttons at the top of the page, it looks odd. When reading a conversation the share tool covers half of it up and not only that but it mov…

I lived in the US for nearly two years and didn't make one friend. I had work buddies but never seen them out of work. People in the UK always ask me why I came back to the UK but …

This looks really good, well done. One of my apps is universal and it chose iPhone to display it, can that be changed ? Also on my free app the name wraps as its quite long, I pres…

I remember the first time my mum took me too a McDonald's and I got a big mac. When she bought the tray of food over, I though my big mac must be split into 2 cartons and I have to…

If anyone wants to experience hacks and mods and have a Xbox, just try Call of duty 4 or 5 (world at war). The developers kind of abandon the older games once the new ones are out,…

On iPad the opening line says "Hi, I'm Peter? I build Web System"? The S off the end of system is missing, it's actually their but out of the black box, so very hard to see. Dave

I am trying to find out how people find new apps and games to download. For instance for me I browse the app store and look at the top say 50 and if I see anything good I get it. B…
