On OS X or iOS there should be a full-screen button in the upper right corner of the video player controls.

He's too modest to mention it, but yodasan and colinloretz are two of the 3-member team that created Colorstache, which was one of the five finalists in the Evernote Developer competition.

I'm also a Reno Collective member. I work out of the space writing iOS and Mac apps as an independent developer. Before finding the Collective, I was under the impression that no one was doing any Python, Ruby, or Cocoa (or anything similar) in the area. It was great to find out that there were all these people in Reno quietly working on cool stuff.

Knowing that Quartz on OS X uses OpenGL, I'd assume it also uses it on iOS.

Why are people down-voting this parent?

The iOS Simulator is specifically refereed to as a simulator NOT an emulator. It simulates the iOS on top of OS X and makes no attempt to be an emulator. It is a decent simulator.

The main issue here is that it appears that a YC company was claiming to be a hobbyist developer that solicited (and received) donations.

They haven't responded, so it could all be a misunderstanding. However, it doesn't look good.

As a dev whose app has been featured once on the front page under "New and Noteworthy", I'd say that Apple's promotion is unquestionably more valuable than any other kind of promotion.

Being reviewed on some site is nice, but it's a negligible rounding error compared to being featured on any list on the App Store. I'm sure any dev who's ever been featured will agree that App Store placement is the biggest single factor in sales.

This is probably because broken stuff gets fixed. Mediocre stuff limps on forever.

I believe it. In Starcraft, Macro beats Micro.
