I almost hate to respond, because I'm just starting to tinker with Core Data, but... I'm developing an app that is quite involved, and is probably as complex as an accounting pack…

Very nice...I especially like two separate point you both made. First, I forgot to mention that this will be a network-able accounting package and to learn that SQLite is not, that…

Another option might be write an abstraction layer that would allow you to plugin Postgres or CoreData. That way you could test both and also give the user the option to not requir…

WJMoore makes a good point, I just wouldn't even know where to begin...use CoreData but with PostgreSQL...hmm. I don't know enough about CoreData yet. What I have done was to creat…

You can't pass SQL to CoreData. You must pass CoreData's own predicate formulated queries. CoreData then converts these to SQL internally (if using SQLite) or to another suitable…

APC sells their fingerprint sensor/software bundle for US$30 (there are 7 other suppliers for PC under US$40) while the only one I found compatible with my Mac OS X is a SONY at…

Considering that fingerprint sensors can be defeated with technology as simple as candy (yes, candy), sticky tape, or your breath, I'm not sure I'd be too concerned -- passwords ar…

Like tooki said they are very insecure, more of a showoff thing than security. Why do you want something like this anyway?

Real fingerprint scanners are not fooled by gummi bears; in general it is not accurate to describe fingerprint scanners as 'very insecure' Even the poor scanners increase security…

rm199, unfortunately the "good ones" are far less available and less in the public eye than the run of the mill "gummi says you're you!" devices. And it's hard for the run of the …

the fingerprint sensor marker in the laptop market is growing exponentially so maybe APPLE being the "innovator" should have started adopting it in all PB and IB since last year …

Scanner or not somebody can just boot your computer with OS9 and get all your files.

Is this possible, can someone give me a really simple example? I want to rotate a PNG image by 90 degrees. Hope someone can help!

Not in CSS. I suppose you could do it in JS - would be horrifically slow though, I'd have thought.

If it can be done in javascript, I don't know how to do it. It can, however, be done server-side with php and GD Library or ImageMagick. If you have access to those technologies,…

You could also rotate it 90 degrees yourself, using an image editor, and store it as a separate file. This will take up a bit more disk space, but it is the fastest option from the…

A widget? oh geez. I wrote the hula girl widget, and it's got tons of pictures in it. It's not like load time is an issue with a widget.
