Leopard Code Sample: A
Bound NSCollectionView
Leopard introduces a
bunch of amazingly
powerful new controls,
but one of my favorite
new controls is the
NSCollectionView. This
control works a lot like
the FlowLayoutPanel if
you're familiar with
Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF). It
essentially is a layout ...Nov. 1, 2007 09:00 AM Reads: 11,299 Replies: 1
So Steve Jobs has finally
announced the
availability of the
iPhone SDK. It will be
available sometime in
February of 2008.There
are a lot of compelling
reasons to build web
applications for the
iPhone. If you're already
thinking of an
application then you
might ...
The word on the rumor
mill is that Mac OS X
Leopard will be shipping
on October 26th. While
this is good news for
some people, this is
freaking great news for
me. Why? Because after
the 26th I will finally
be able to do blog posts
that contain information
on Leopa...
Just this morning I saw a
blog post containing some
details about Microsoft's
new and upcoming MVC
framework for ASP.NET.
I'm actually a little
shocked - the sheer
amount of 'stuff' that is
being piled into the
Visual Studio 2008
release is positively
staggering, ...
There are really two
different kinds of
hacking going on here.
The first kind is where
people use applications
of varying degrees of
difficulty (it's actually
getting pretty easy
now...) to 'jailbreak'
the iPhone, which allows
foreign software to be
installed on i...
The ability that I will
have to debug code within
Visual Studio 2008 will
be unprecedented. Why?
Because now instead of
having to use third party
tools to dissasemble
Microsoft libraries so
that I can get a deep
stack trace and figure
out exactly where
something b...
Having spent so much of
my life working with
real, live,
production-running
ASP.NET applications
(which includes real,
live, production-sized
headaches!) I am
definitely curious about
this new MVC framework.
Admittedly I'm a little
jaded because I figure
any ent...
This is the first article
in a series that I plan
on writing about iPhone
application development.
The first thing you
should know is that these
articles will not cover
anything related to
taking existing content
sites and making them
more 'iPhone-friendly'.
While...
What I need is a rich
desktop application that
can save files to my hard
drive and if I need to
make a shared copy, I can
save to a shared
location. If Google gave
me a good 'Save As...'
location from inside my
MS Word or Pages '08
application, I might use
it. Unt...
'They have periodic
updates on their data
files, and they translate
into megabucks,' Levy
said. 'This is akin to
your bank having
automatic access to your
ATM machine and is
siphoning money out
during all times of the
day and night without
your knowledge.'

So, for those of you who
were on the fence about
building iPhone
applications using Web
2.0 technologies, think
about this: Your
potential list of
application users is
about to grow beyond
users of the iPhone, and
will include a crapload
of people buying new
iPo...
So I was watching a bunch
of video clips from the
Transformers movie the
other day (pretty much
what I do every
evening...) and I got to
thinking : it would be
ridiculously cool to have
a Transformers MMO. If
you think hard about it,
it could have everything
that ...
Recently, I posted an
article that basically
pointed out that online
journalist Mary Jo Foley
had posted an article
that was really a bunch
of sensationalist
clickbaiting, claiming
that Leopard was ripping
off Vista. Anybody that
uses 'Cupertino, Start
your Photoc...
So I have decided to
retire my Sprint PPC
6700, a device that runs
Windows Mobile 5.0 and
has simultaneous access
to voice networks,
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and
Sprint's broadband
(EVDO). I frequently used
this phone as a wireless
modem and connected my
laptop to the in...
