The first WWDC was held in Monterey, California in 1983.

Glad to hear it, Marcus. Thanks for the note.

Re: UIView Rounded Corners

Unfortunately, I can't help without a description of the problem you encountered.

Note that it is important to link with QuartzCore.framework to avoid linker errors.

I've created a sample project here that illustrates proper use of the UIView+RoundedCorners category: http://warrenmoore.net/file...

"taking away my freedom"
"believe me when I say there’s nothing fair..."

You have a misplaced sense of indignation. I say this as a developer with apps in the store. If you want to go elsewhere, please do so. Apple owes you exactly nothing, so if they've squandered the last measure of your good will, it's time to choose an alternative.

Your point is correct, but it's not strictly true that you have to use a GPL compiler to build projects in XCode. Although GCC is used by default, XCode now ships with LLVM compiler and Clang front end, which have BSD-like licenses.

Re: iPhone SDK: Making Your AudioSession Routes Play Nicely with the Vibrate Switch

Warren Moore — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 02:13:40 -0000

My mistake. I was under the impression that compare: was case-insensitive by default. I'll apply your suggestion above. Thanks for the close reading.

Incorrect. It may not be obvious on iOS 4.x, but the capitalization of that route name ("lineout") has changed across versions in the past. Therefore, I intentionally chose a more liberal comparison predicate to ensure a match.

Perhaps instead it shows that they have a PR problem and that stereotypes are damn persistent.

I challenge the assertion that stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString: is poorly named. I'm not a grizzled veteran, but I feel that Cocoa's inherent verbosity greatly improves its readability. Once you're used to seeing method names of that length, they don't take up any more mental shelf space than, e.g., sub. Also, the consistent naming lets you know that you will receive an autoreleased object from that method. Finally, there can be no ambiguity in the parameter ordering. This really helps in method families like substring, which in other languages/libraries require you to sort out which of the magic numbers represents the start/end/length of the selected character range. Admittedly, Ruby's index notation solves this in quite a different, and much more succinct, way.

Re: Pandigital announces eReader with Barnes & Noble

Warren Moore — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:56:37 -0000

Lest we forget, B&N already tried to make inroads with the Nook reader. I take it from the lack of mention that Nook is already regarded as a failed enterprise. What makes anyone think that this device, in the dawning age of do-it-all tablets from both Apple and the major PC manus, will be *any* different?

I think he tipped his hand with "Attorney Generals." The phrase is "Attorneys General."

Glad to help. This is one of those "notes to self" that I thought might be useful to other folks.

Thanks for keeping me in mind, Adam. My primary focus is going to continue to be mobile apps and web apps. Let me know if you need anything or know anyone who does. Eagle Trade looks excellent these days!

Re: Grooveshark Slips Past EMI's Lawyers, Signs New Licensing Agreement Instead

Warren Moore — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 13:00:13 -0000

I count a number of Grooveshark's founding employees among my friends, and despite my initial skepticism toward the service, I'm really glad to see they've persisted through the doubts of the last few years and emerged to a new level of adoption and legitimacy.

Re: A solution for the “send email to relatives when I die” problem

Warren Moore — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:41:43 -0000

It seems to me that a plurality or majority (say, 60%) would have to suffice - otherwise, what if one of the included parties precedes the user of the service in death, or just changes their primary e-mail address? Everyone could be locked out because of the choice or happenstance of a party whose only purpose is validation, the exact opposite of what you really want.

You missed _Keeping the Faith_. Probably belongs in the middle, leaning right (right full-stop if it didn't feature Jenna Elfman).

Definitely don't stop following me. I think my current project will probably hold some interest for you, and of course I'm interested in keeping track of what you'll be up to.

And God forbid you abbreviate "Thanks in advance" as TIA. That's right, 14-year-old me, I'm talking to *you*.
