wild chocolate: 13 Reasons Why Software Is Not... →
wildchocolate:
Lately it seems more and more evident that the general population expects software to be free or at the very least cheap. This is reinforced when companies like Apple, who make a tremendous income off of their hardware, the iTunes store, and many other revenue streams, heavily discount their…

Anonymous asked: I am working with the AQGridView and am having trouble with a pressed state on each cell. What I need for my app is better feedback so that the user knows that the button was pressed. Basically it should darken like the UIButton does by default, but then return to its normal state when the touch ends.
Darkening on touch wasn't too difficult, but now it stays dark until the next...

He writes on his blog:
Forget about DVD (Standard Definition) video, which if displayed
at native resolution would be little bigger than a postage stamp
on this new display. 720p HD video (the highest resolution sold
on iTunes) would fill only a quarter of the screen, and 1080p
video would have black bars not only along the top and bottom,
but also along the sides of the screen. Of...
Anonymous asked: I am looking to use your GridView library for an upcoming project. My question is, how would I use your library to create a view like that found in the Kobo app? Essentially, I need to create a grid that looks like the Youtube (iPad) app. Are there any examples demonstrating this technique? Or how would I start out using your library?
