I'm not using Corona SDK, but wondering about how it works. I saw the youtube vid on it and the code doesn't look like Obj-C, it looks like something more like c++ without ";" at the end.
Is this an engine that runs off a script? What control do you have over performance tuning? How does it intergate with regular iPhone app code, if you wanted to put code in your game that stopped and displayed an ad for your web site, could you do that?
Just based on the demo video, it looks like it would do great for simple games, but I would be concerned over level of control. If a game starts to do well, you might decide that you need to tweak it a certain way, I wonder if this allows low-level coding.

I remember when original Macs went for a lot of money on eBay, in the late 90s. I was in high school then and desperately wanted one. I actually found one by random chance. It's an interesting story. (http://Blog.ByTod.com/ask-and-you-might-receive/)
Thomas, how did you get MacWrite and MacDraw on cassette tapes? I never knew that was even offered for the Macintosh. Do you have any photos?

I have a Mac+ still and there is no way I would sell it. I have sold a Mac IIvx and a G4 Quick Sliver but that was for Money to buy the next Mac (currently a G5 iMac). I gave my Rev-A iMac to a girl I dating at the time.... but I think that was because of her WoW factor.

I imagine it happening like that episode of the simpsons where lisa makes that new doll and everyone's excited and everything then as all the children run towards the display of dolls. WHOOSH! The sheet is pulled of a shiny display of brand new Malibu Stacy dolls, now with trendy new hat!
Just replace the Lisa doll with the Zune and Malibu Stacy with hat with a brand new Widesreen, touch sensitive iPod.....with hat lol :D

Agreed, but the latest nano is pretty poor, was surprised, seems very unapple-like. There is room for a good ultra portable small music player (gyms etc, I see so many ipods) and for them to please, please make a good quality headphone as standard, the ones that come with ipods (of any price) is pathetic. So, let's see what they do.
I bought a new nano specifically for the gym, I have a 160gb Classic that stays in my car, and an iPhone. Still love the dedicated for music iPods.

AT&T sold 3.6, apple says 18.65. Did verizon sell the rest of the ~15 million? :eek:
I haven't looked at the numbers, but Apple would be including global sales.

In contrast to the other thread, what things will you ALWAYS cheap out on?
For me its:
--Appliances (I have a $20 blender [it really is a piece of crap and can't cut ice or even power up enough to spin a blender with ice in it, this pretty much enraged me while trying to make a fruit smoothie the other night] and a $25 toaster oven). I would like stainless steel major appliances though.
--Dishes, every time I'm in some store that's selling teacups for $60 I just think "Who the hell needs a $60 teacup?" and then I think about the dollar store/IKEA plain white dishes I have and think to myself how awesome I am for being smart when it comes to buying dishes and silverware, lol.
--Toilet paper, I used to be a 2-ply guy like any other self-respecting individual, until the wife got me on 1-ply and seriously, 2-ply doesn't compare anymore, you can't get as clean with 2-ply as with 1-ply, this is not noticeable until switching to 1-ply, true story.
--Furniture, but make no mistake, I don't buy cheapo Walmart stuff etc. All of the stuff I buy is very nice and very stylish, but I don't need some $2000 dresser or sofa. I also like my furniture to be relatively compact in that I can't stand the enormous bulky eyesore couches/sofas most people have, so more compact stuff I think tends to be cheaper anyway (think like IKEA sofas). My $80 desk is also OK, certainly don't need a $1000 1-ton carved desk. When furniture is cheap, it's easy to deal with when you move and easily replaced for more modern/updated stuff.
--Household cleaners, generics are fine (except detergent)
--Medication, generics are usually fine
--Bath towels
--Haircuts, whether they are $10 or $50 they all look the same when you have really short hair like I do.
I probably sound like a slob who lives in an unimpressive place, but all of my clothes are quite nice/designer, nice watch, nice manbag, nice shoes, and my apartment is very modern and extremely clean, and well-kept. But for the everyday incidentals, I just don't spend much. Other than those necessary consumable things everyone needs, I tend not to be cheap with most stuff--if something isn't quality, I tend not to buy it.

The longer you keep hold of it, the less people will have a Mac that will require the older card (as they upgrade, they'll be wanting an Airport extreme card, or whatever comes along next to replace it).
Your best bet is probably just to pop it in the post to me � it'll go nicely with my G3 iBook. I won't charge you anything for taking it off your hands, seeing as how it's Christmas. :p

how is it wrong though? The logic board fits in perfectly with the bottom housing case that I bought...as well the cd and hard drive..
As well what do I do about the heat sink problem?...the glue on the top of cpu the and bottom of the heat sink is coming off ( SEE ATTACHED PICTURES ) ...how to I glue it back on?... Any recommended tools and where to buy em on ebay? thank you.
The heatsink is attached to the bottomcase by 4 screws - IT IS NOT GLUED in place - without the screws you cannot clamp the heatsink to the processor and it will overheat.
The kernel panic may or may not have anything to do with the heatsink - usually it is ram but may be a faulty logicboard - try starting up in verbose or single-user mode (hold down Command and s) and see what errors you get.

I think most people wanting to game should go for a console instead.. But then again you can download emulators & games and run it on your iphone or ipad, but obviously not legal as far as I know.. But It can be done..
I think Nintendo better watch out :P. Still I think the fact that the new Nintendo DS has 3D support means it's probably going to be a better gaming experience then a iPhone or iPod Touch..
The games that are available on iOS devices are not of the highest quality, infact most of the games are crap, IMO.. I've tried FPS shooters, the experience just isn't the same, some games are awesome for iOS particularly racing games & games that take advantage of the gyro..
But in all honesty I haven't seen a game yet on iOS that really blew me away, so as far as gaming goes I think getting a console is the better choice..

So yeah, you're right.

how would i go about bouncing the click to it's own audio track?
I could be wrong, but I don't think you can. Logic's term for "bounce" is "freeze". But as I and one other said above, you can make a drum track that is just one hit per beat on something that sounds good to you, like a wood block or whatever. Then of course you can end that when ever you like

I don't think that there will be another MacWorld Boston. The attendance was very low at the last one that we had in Boston. Of course it would make me happy. Just don't think that the MacWorld Organizers will ever try again.

How much did you pay for it?
I ask as you can get an aluminum enclosure for about $12 from Rosewill that is far better than the one used on the Passport, and a Western Digital Scorpio Blue or Black, which are farrrrrr better drives in terms of reliability and speed. For $120, you can build a drive with a 750GB Scorpio Black, which IMO is the best HDD on the market that is reasonably priced, and many people here will testify to their quality and speed. Add 15-20 bucks and the enclosure can have FW as well as USB2. As much as I love WD, I HATE the Passports and have not been happy with their overall reliability.

This means little to nothing without absolute numbers.
exactly
Love how you can just come up with a chart and say anything these days and not have to back it up with numbers (done all the time for both iOS and Android)
"For this year�s report, Flurry once again leverages publicly available market data in the news, released by companies such as the NPD Group (e.g., Gamasutra�s Behind the Numbers series). We combine this data with our own estimates of game category revenues from iOS and Android devices"
so they do not even have actual sales numbers for iOS/Android - I use a report like this at work to justify anything and I think I would get fired on the spot :rolleyes:
