To go one step further, Apple has also denied the use of third parties to collect device data on app use. Below is Apple’s statement:

Device Data may not be provided or disclosed to a third party without Apple’s prior written consent. Accordingly, the use of third party software in Your Application to collect and send Device Data to a third party for processing or analysis is expressly prohibited.

This has hit developers again. Analytical data is vital to the success of anyone’s application. Understanding how the user uses the application allows for greater user experience, and most of all larger profit margins; if done right.

Apple has got the developer base by the balls and is now squeezing their fist. Not a clever move at all. If the grip gets to tight developers will bail. You see it all the time. No developer likes to be under the thumb they like to be free when it comes to development, allow their ideas to flow.

Bad move by Apple. I reckon you will see quite a few developers move on, which is sad.

Look babe let’s grab an ice cream… Here, can you hold my iPad. OMG I’m married!

A man named Zach Iniguez has proposed to his girlfriend through his iPad! Yes I’m being serious.

I have to give him credit though, he thought about what he wanted to do. He took his new fiance to the place where they had their first date and handed her his iPad, which had a sequence of photos, some background music – ohh so sweet! – and then at the end it said, “Will you marry me?”.

He got some hang time out of it; I’m posting about it!

Bangs traditionally from Sudan and now resides in Australia, has scored himself a record deal with HSM Distribution. With the success of his YouTube Clip (Below) “Take U to Da Movies”  hitting 3.2 million hits, HSM Distribution is using him as the flag ship for their new emerging label.

You have to take your hat off to him though, he has recorded this song just 5 years after learning English; now that’s an effort!

The official statement released by HSM Distribution is:

BANGS becomes the flagship artist for this emerging distribution and entertainment label which tout itself as
the Distribution (R)evolution. An entirely new way for artists to reach their target consumer and record buyer.

19-year old BANGSʼ fast-rising popularity is directly attributed to his video clip for “Take u to Da Movies”, going viral and catching on quickly without the help of any label backing. As BANGS had already captured international attention, it was important that his distribution company have the means to make his music available worldwide in a short time frame. A week after the contracts had been exchanged; HSM Entertainment has his single online with fans from all over the world able to purchase BANGSʼ music with the click of a button.

BANGS was born in North Khartoum, Sudan and spent two years in Egypt with his family before settling in Australia. A short 5
years after learning English BANGS recorded his track through a community outreach initiative at The Artful Dodgers Studios,
Gateway, Jesuit Social Services in collaboration with Living Music, a community centre and outreach program in Australia.

HSM Distribution is very excited about working with this budding artist and look forward to furthering BANGS’ music globally!

If he can get a label I can! Hmmmm… The title of my song…. “U Tak Dat  Luv Away from Me”, ohh yeah I’m onto a winner!

The term ‘Hello World’ is used by all programmers learning a new programming language, it is the basic output that tells the programmer that the little App they just built works. In saying that, you can see how it fits right in for my first post!

Also thanks to N.Design because one of their themes - Notepad Theme -was basically ripped, stomped, squeezed, blended and torn apart to create this custom theme. Why reinvent the wheel? You guys are good designers over there .
