The makeup of your diet, among other factors, determined how the body reacts to the extra calories and decides whether to store it more as fat and/or lean muscle mass.

With some custom code and the help of libraries like MacWidgets, you can make some decent native-looking GUI's with Swing. See my profile for an example of one - it's a large-scale desktop application.

I concede though that if you go with out of the box LNF's, even Nimbus, your results will not be up to par.

Apple's been fairly lax lately with its checking. A friend's game that we were able to get crashing on launch 100% of the time passed through the original submit process without a peep.

The same friend, just for kicks, submitted a deliberately broken app that didn't crash but showed a blank screen after launch. It also got approved without incident. It's like Apple just ran automated tests, but no human ever saw it.

I have a feeling that Apple's process varies depending on the kind of app (free vs. paid), the platforms you're targeting and your past history.

I get mostly relevant opportunities, but they never acknowledge that I'm already running my own company, even when contacting me via LinkedIn where that's pretty obvious.

These aren't exactly no-name companies or recruiting firms but the actual companies themselves - we're talking about Zynga, Playdom, ngmoco, etc.

Is this something other founders have found?

High-protein, low carb and delicious (creamy texture and flavor) at the same time. I alternate between Chobani, Fage and a couple other brands, but the nutritional profile is about the same for all of them.

I prefer to take my yogurt plain and mix in my own jams, rather than the fruit on the bottom variants. That gives me more variety than the default flavors provided and lets me control the amount that goes in.

Our startup's main product uses Java for a UI heavy app because makes it cross platform out of the box and is relatively easy to develop a nice, native looking UI with if you know what you're after.

Our closest competitors locked themselves to one platform and have faced challenges trying to go cross platform.

Thanks for the clarification. I missed the Target inclusion on the basic things I was looking for because it's based on the circular, which has fairly little in the way of food items.

With Whole Foods, the best (and most pragmatic) deals they offer aren't at all on their website and must be tracked in store. I think that there is a market for including Whole Foods, not in the novelty items, but in comparing natural/organic commodities that are popular enough to be carried by Target, Safeway and even Costco. On those fronts, WF is frequently the cheapest.

Do you have plans to, perhaps, crowdsource some of the price reporting similar to how gas price comparison sites are done?

This is pretty neat, and I'd definitely use this once it expanded to cover the stores I visit (WF, TJ's, Target) and a broader range of items. The one pitfall for the current market is that stores that don't run circulars or stores for which the circulars are harder to scrape are important but harder to get at.

For example, Whole Foods and TJ's are substantial players in the Bay Area market as well as discount stores like Target where there's a mix of the everyday low price model and sales on loss leaders. What are your plans to tackle stores like those?

Overall, this is a good start, and I look forward to seeing this fleshed out more.

I use the Sparrow framework and find it to mimic the Flash's API more closely, and the API as a whole is less complex. The primary downside at this time is that the community is less active/developed, but the author is very helpful when it comes to answering questions.

The poor in India and China don't eat enough to become obese, let alone gain significant weight.

I think that the term "poverty" relates specifically to developed countries where fast food is the cheapest way for the poor to feed themselves off the dollar menu.
