            <title><![CDATA[Shutting Down a Service with 500MM Requests per Month]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[This week I finished shutting down my app-detection service, iHasApp. I disabled the signup forms, grandfathered the current users on their plans, sent out emails, and updated the landing page with a message to any new visitors. After all of this, I thought it might be interesting to chronicle what it was, how it did, and how it feels to shut down a project after multiple years of work...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Two years ago, Big Brother Camera Security was a Top 25 Overall App, and merely two months later it was removed by Apple over privacy concerns. Since then, Big Brother was marked on my portfolio as "Banned from the App Store." Today marks 21 months since that day, and I am finally pleased to announce that Big Brother is available yet again on the App Store...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Got a call from Apple last night regarding the removal of Big Brother from the App Store. Apparently, Apple believed that I was “surreptitiously harvesting user passwords.” I have sent in a new update without the analytics in question, as well as appealing on the grounds that:...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In my last update to Big Brother Camera Security (Free), I added some code to record common user passcodes (completely anonymous, of course). Because Big Brother’s passcode setup screen and lock screen are nearly identical to those of the actual iPhone passcode lock, I figured that the collected information would closely correlate with actual iPhone passcodes...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Bump (and others) recently pushed out an update for their iPhone app which allows users to detect their installed apps, and then share recommendations. As with the rest of the application, this new feature is awesome; if not because it will yet again save people time, then because it can detect what apps you have installed...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There are lots of articles floating around analyzing the effects and implications of iPhone app piracy. Bottom line, developers are interested in how much revenue they are losing due to app piracy. This post is my attempt to throw a slightly distasteful idea into the mix: pirates are helping me make more money...]]></description>

Yet despite my lack of stardom, I still see relatively stable sales figures over the course of normal sales days. But when the new year came around, my iAd numbers made a resolution to lose weight...]]></description>
