I just StumbleUpon this web site. KansasFest takes place each
year at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2011
Bob Bishop, the co-founder of Apple's R&D lab, will be the keynote
speaker. Bob is part of the early history of the Apple computer
and has developed numerous commercial software titles, worked
side-by-side with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, written a book

03 Ten Billion to One odds
So, just in case you happen to be wondering, Neon Play's
iPhone app Paper Glider has become the winning app in Apple's
10 billionth app download competition.
Neon Play CEO Oli Christie received a telephone message
from Apple saying,
"Mr Christie. This is Apple in Cupertino.
We have some good news to share with you..."
Paper Glider is a free to download iPhone app. The aim of the game
is simple - you need to flick a paper plane with your finger to
try and get it out of the office window while avoiding ceiling fans.
It really a truly fun game...

we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.
