I wonder what the adoption rate in % is in free apps is, seems to be pretty poor. In the numerous ios free apps I 've sampled I've yet to see it.

iAd is a good idea (who doesn't hate the google network of ads popping up everywhere and being of little taste and use?) but the starting minimum a couple of years ago sounds even by todays standards incredibly high. I think if apple wants to ever get it going they should raise developer revenue to 80%, or even just not take a cut out of it at all. The dev. should be able to get all the money from the ads they make via their app, since they offer it for free on the app store. If apple provide the tools to create such ads they should probably only be doing it so they can have free apps on their store which will give people more incentives to buy ios products.

Twitter integration could be huge. If an iAd dev creates a compelling ad that's fun to play with and convinces people to buy the product, users might want to tell people about it. And I gather a few of those users would more likely tweet about that product from the ad than leave the app and go to Safari, find the product page, and tweet manually from there.

Heck, if Twitter integration includes pulling tweets rather than solely pushing them, there are a few scenarios where that would be neat too.

"I have my own theory about why decline happens at companies like IBM or Microsoft. The company does a great job, innovates and becomes a monopoly or close to it in some field, and then the quality of the product becomes less important. The company starts valuing the great salesmen, because theyre the ones who can move the needle on revenues, not the product engineers and designers. So the salespeople end up running the company."- Steve Jobs

This is one of reason why I hope iAds never becomes too big, because the last people we want to be (inadvertently) running Apple are advertising/sales guys.

Dancing with the Stars 2012 Jaleel Milky and Kym Johnson, The votes are in and all I wanna do is review again.

Critics and insensitive fans are both agreeing that Dancing with the Stars 2012 (Season 14) has been a magnificent smack bang so decidedly, with people already buzzing here who has to communicate with (lamentably). Like any tournament there is the despondent reality that you may not mount as clearly as you had hoped and someone see fit end up as the primary to go as on Tuesday night.
