Leaving Money On The Table Is Bad, MMKay?
Could get a live human at Apple to change my iOS Developer type from
Corporate to Individual? My Apple ID is:

My Corporate membership expired well over a year ago. My board of
directors totally bailed on me. While there are some advantages to
self-incorporation, it is a huge PITA. For iOS really sole
proprietorship would be better.
However, it is simply not possible for me to register as an
individual, after having been previously registered as corporate,
despite that corporate registration being long expired, and the
corporation itself no longer in business.
I've been waiting for two solid months to get Warp Life into the App Store:

=== It's ready to submit the very instant I have a dev account. ===
For no reason I can fathom, it is simply not possible to get a job of
any sort as an iOS developer, unless one already has at least one
published App.
There's no particular requirement that that App not segvio on a
regular basis; I'm left with the impression that no one ever actually
checks.
I'd love nothing more than to live where I'm living right now, working
as an IOS Developer. The Pearl District of Portland Oregon is up to
its eyeballs in iOS shops, but until I can get that one first App into
the App Store, no one will touch me with a ten foot pole.
In My Honest Opinion, if one cannot build then test iOS source code,
one has no business _whatsoever_ hiring an iOS coder.
So quite commonly I offer my source - there aren't really any trade
secrets in it - but no, that doesn't even get me a return eMail. It
makes no sense to me, but it really is that bad.
I filed a radar about this a couple months ago, but no one has
responded in any way. Quite likely it has yet to be triaged.
It is quite common for me to find serious problems with Apple's web
applications, and from time to time I do file radars on them but in my
experience, the people who do Apple's web coding must not ever read
radar.
I actually worked at Apple, on two different occassions. Look me up,
you'll find a whole bunch of radars that I either opened or closed.
It should not have to be this way, and it was not when I worked there:
Apple's quality has been totally decimated in the last five years or
so. When the money keeps rolling in...
