3 strategic questions I have re iOS development

[Mike Kerner]

As far as dropbox goes, we use it in our apps frequently.  We use
Gugliermo's library to accomplish the task.  It's free and open and the
code is open.  Monte's Dropbox external has the advantage of not being
blocking, so your app doesn't have to wait while you're accessing dropbox.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
