Good stuff, but… Why not?

- (UIColor *)colorByDarkeningColorBy:(CGFloat)alpha
{
CGColorRef oldColor = CGColorCreateCopyWithAlpha([self CGColor], alpha);
UIColor *newColor = [UIColor colorWithCGColor:oldColor];
CGColorRelease(oldColor);

return newColor;
}

Comment on “Are You a Cocoa Crack?” Quiz (2) by pbernery

Really nice Quiz Dr.

However I don’t agree with the drawRect and two lines question: antialiasing is enabled by default when using CG methods and when it is enabled, you get what you described in your point.
To disable it and get thin, clear lines, simply set it to disabled:

CGContextSetShouldAntialias(context, NO);

Comment on Not for the Money by Chris Samuels

My Apps provide a ‘Learn more’ button which connects users to an exclusive App owners area on my web site where they are offered extra tips about the App and are encouraged to provide feedback.

Also my web site (http://www.rodecode.com) allows contact through support forms and a forums section.

I find the feedback to user ratio is about the same as comments on my YouTube page about 1 for every 1000 views. Which could actually be a bit overwhelming if I sold a lot, luckily I don’t.

Your ideas on ‘About screen’ features have inspired me to look at ways to bring user feedback inside future Apps. Thanks.

Its always good to get a bit of feedback, but this has to be one of the best. Well done.

It surprises me how little feedback I get from customers, especially when it gives them the opportunity to influence the design of my/their products.

Maybe my apps are just too good already.
