    Ah, I didn't know about the underscore thing, I just used that as a quick and easy way to determine that it was an include guard and not a #defined value to be used. As far as the header indentation goes, I am not sure what is up with that (must have been a copy/paste error) since I do indent all my files (though not in the same way you showed). I'll update that file when I get access to my VM next.

    Sorry about that Jim, I went ahead and edited the demo heading to specify it is in flash.

    What exactly is the problem you are having? The more information you give us, the more easily we can help you.
  4. In Topic: Android overtaking iOS? - Developers leaving iOS?

    Posted 6 May 2013

    Other than you have to recall that Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy before they came out with the iPod (and brought Jobs back). At the moment their devices are simply iterating over the old again and not making huge improvements. I am still using my 3Gs (the first iPhone I bought) and there are rumors that they are coming out with a 5s sometime soon too. I don't see them innovating and I believe that will catch up with them eventually. Though, who knows, maybe they will come out with another big things before that time comes.

    No, as far as Android vs iOS development goes, I believe that Apple is seeing its customers making a shift and that they are attempting to fight that by copying the windows phone model of flatter icons (we will see how much they have copied vs the rumor mill when they release iOS 7). Android is a pretty amazing developer community from what I have heard (I don't develop mobile applications, so I can't speak from experience on either side), that plus their lower costs for a license means that it is a lot more accessible to users. Sure, Apple users have been conditioned to expect to pay, but if you come up with a kickass application that has ads you will make significantly more money over time (especially if it is something that people use on a daily/ hourly basis). Android users are accustomed to dealing with ads, so they will take kinder to it.

    Personally, if I was looking into developing for a mobile environment I would take a serious look at Windows Phone, but that is just me.

    Finally, because this is the lounge:

    No problem. I love JavaScript so it isn't anything terribly difficult. The hardest part is to come up with challenges that will get people interested and not scare everyone away until we at least are a bit more known :)

    I think there are a few people who like IE, but we are the minority. I use it because I have grown up with it, it acts the most as I would expect it to (out of the major browsers) and I have grown accustom to its little quirks. Everyone talks about building things for FF then hacking for IE, but I find that Opera, IE, Chrome, and Sarafi normally work very close to the same, and FF is the outlier.

    Serious Question(s): Are you the only user who prefers IE over all of the other browsers? I haven't seen anyone else with that marked...
    Also, why do you prefer it?
