I don’t see this being a support issue as the products could be labeled as such and respective developers would have the option of deciding when a product would be shelved. Regardless, if an app is working perfect with an older version of the iOS, and the user is content with the older device, what’s the big deal? It’s free money at that point and it works in it’s own antiquated atmosphere. If this doesn’t change,  I see these not-so-older devices heading to the landfill faster than their desktop counterparts.

With regard to the Mac App store, I see the same scenario being installed right before our very eyes and this worries me. The Mac App store handles all your purchases and keeps your copies in waiting for you. But what happens if you need to downgrade to an older computer you keep in your closet for that just-in-case moment? We’ve been able to back up and keep copies in the past for those just-in-case scenarios, it seems it’s all going to be trusted to iCloud or your Apple ID. Should we be concerned?

He has made a career of perfecting the bel canto tenor repertory for the past twenty-five years, earning widespread acclaim for his performances of the most demanding tenor roles of the French and Italian bel canto operas.

I created a new look for this programmers website, taking a completely different direction than previous projects. I struck a balance with texture and lighting giving the site a fresh feel.

The buttered cat paradox is a joke paradox based on the tongue-in-cheek combination of two adages:
– Cats always land on their feet.
– Buttered toast always lands buttered side down.

Finally, one of the staple restaurants of Park Avenue area in Rochester, NY is online. The nice thing about this site is that it will auto detect mobile devices and format itself correctly, so looking up items on a menu while out and about makes life so much easier!

Plaseebo.net the custom vinyl toy site owned and operated by my father Bob Conge was given a complete makeover bringing the site up to date giving it more purpose and refined organization. Be sure to set some time aside to peruse and observe this vast unhinged collection of toys born from the macabre region of artistry. Some of the toys are available in the new store as well, be quick with your mouse however, these toys sell out quick as they are made in very limited quantities. The coolest part is they they’re all hand decorated and signed, so each piece is a bit different from the other.

Be sure to peruse the site: http://www.plaseebo.net/

Check out the galleries of this amazing artist! The site deserves to be explored as his works emote an awe inspiring sense of wonder, intrigue and macabre. I’m excited about Hand’s work finally being shown in a format that allows many people to interact with it on such a large scale.
