Video shows how company matches those with app idea with developers

Posted by | Mar 25, 2010 | |

iPhoneAppQuotes.com has posted a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cj7aaLuBE4) that shows how the company hooks up those with an idea for an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad app with app developers.

iPhoneAppQuotes.com is designed to take the hassle out of posting a job with a head hunter, on Craigslist or having to sift through profiles of developers on other web sites or forums. The company is based in South Florida.

It’s not associated with Apple Computer and doesn’t do any actual app development. What they do is match people with a need to find iPhone developers.

The pocket-sized portable storage solution for Mac or PC users features FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and/or USB 2.0 connectivity for data transfer speeds up to 100MB/second and is bus powered, so it can be used without an AC adapter.

It’s not been mentioned by Apple, but I think we’ll see iLife 2010 — the next version of the suite that includes iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iWeb and GarageBand — before summer arrives. And I hope to see a major change to iMovie.

I was a BIG fan of iMovie HD. I hated iMovie ’08. iMovie ’09 was a major improvement over its immediate predecessor. However, I still wish Apple would restore something missing since iLife ’06/HD and allow third parties to release themes, special effects and transitions for the video editing app.

Global Outage (cooling failure and DNS)

Due to an overheating problem in our European data center many of our servers turned off to protect themselves. As this impacted all Wikipedia and other projects access from European users, we were forced to move all user traffic to our Florida cluster, for which we have a standard quick failover procedure in place, that changes our DNS entries.
