They Should Have Worse Than Headaches ★

Laurie Sullivan, writing for MediaPost:

Search firm Marin Software published a white paper Tuesday based on findings and unanswered questions surrounding Apple’s iOS platform. The report identifies Safari, the primary browser for iOS devices, as a major challenge because it blocks third-party cookies by default, making it difficult for ad servers, tracking systems, and ad management tools to link visitors to ads that brought them to the Web site.

And this is a bad thing how?

REAL Studio ★

My thanks to REAL Software for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote REAL Studio, their cross-platform application developer IDE for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and the web. REAL Studio uses a simple object-oriented programming language that’s tightly coupled with the integrated visual UI builder. The apps it generates use native controls and are compiled to machine code.

There’s nothing else quite like REAL Studio, especially for cross-platform support. They have several different editions for different types of developers, and a 30-day free demo.
