So much ad money is wasted on displaying ads to people who have no interest in the product being advertised… If you can focus your ads on people who have shown some interest in your product, this is very efficient use of your budget. It looks like AdWords’ remarketing feature is quite powerful — a couple great strategies I see are targeting visitors who’ve abandoned their shopping cart, and targeting buyers a certain time after they’ve made a purchase.

If being lame means my team can create apps for my clients in days iinstead of months, then I’ll be lame.

Fantastic move by Apple – hopefully they will enforce it strongly.

This is exactly what needs to be done to cull the rubbish, to cut down on crapware.

Hopefully Android and other “loose” systems will continue with no controls on crapware, so they will become more of a mess than they are and go away.

Any production company so lame it can’t use objective C, is a non-starter. It would be like a film production company that “finds those lens things difficult.” If you’re making a film the least problem is running the camera. If you’re producing a video game or app the least problem is the programming.

The only thing better than this step would be if Apple banned the ridiculous free apps on the app store.

Too true about misinformation. SEO (and now Social Media) has endless amounts of regurgitated info, and much of it being misleading or incorrect perpetuates the cycle.

Exhibit A needs more ampersands in their URLs.

Sounds like GDC went well, very excited to see what effect a new crop of PC developers will have on web plug-in saturation. I think there will be a lot of opportunity for simulations, serious games etc. once acceptance of Unity online spreads.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by.
