Comment Published checkpoint data is exempt from this ban (Score 1) 228
The rules specifically apply to checkpoint information that is NOT published by law enforcement agencies.
Section 22.8 of the updated App Store Review Guidelines reads:
"Apps which contain DUI checkpoints that are not published by law enforcement agencies, or encourage and enable drunk driving, will be rejected."
Some law enforcement agencies publish where DUI checkpoints will be located ahead of time, and these notices have been exempted from the ban.

If you stand in an area with 100 millisieverts measured for a single second, you've been exposed to 100mS for a single second. If you stand in that area for an hour, you've been exposed to 100mS for an hour. There is no "per" in this description, the area has a measurement of 100 millisieverts.
Comment ACDSee Photo Manager (Score 1) 326
I've always been a huge fan of ACDSee Photo Manager. It lets me manage my photos in folders as I always have without any sort of import, and do everything you've asked for. It also has some great tools for renaming files/modifying dates that I just haven't found in other apps.

That part of the summary is not false but is very misleading.
While they are based outside of the US, they do respond within 24 hours on the takedown notices I've sent them over the past 2 years. I've provided them all the information asked for and each time the files were removed and checksum of those specific files blacklisted.

You're oversimplifying the situation. What about US proxies or remotely connecting to another machine in the US. Maybe there was a VPN connection and his access to that wasn't removed. No, this could not have been avoided by locking this down to US IP addresses.

An anonymous reader writes: After much anticipation, some back peddling, a bite of hope, and a delayed release date, TiVoToGo Mac Edition is here. While there have been some unofficial hacks, those solutions have not been ideal for everyone. With support for transferring shows and burning to DVD/iPod, TiVoToGo is bundled as a part of Roxio's Toast Titanium software that will be announced tomorrow at Macworld.
