iPhone - Apple's NDA-protected license agreement changed in April 2010

The original clause stated:

3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs.

The new version of 3.3.1 reads:

3.3.1 — Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited).

It means frustrating news for developers with lot more restrictions to develop applications on iPhone. Then developers can no longer use software like Novell's MonoTouch, Unity3D, or Ansca's Corona to develop iPhone applications, and tools like Appcelerator's Titanium and PhoneGap are looking uncertainty. Generally it restricts users from utilizing different programming languages, libraries, and tools.

RollBack in VSS when you don't have rollback permission

When you don't have rollback permission, you can replace a version of file with the new version and keep the project running safely.

It's based on Visual Source Safe but the idea is simply general.

• Select the file in VSS Explorer.
• Check out the file using the Check Out command on the SourceSafe menu or by right clicking on the file and choosing the command from the context menu.
• Choose Show History from the Tools menu.
• To show the History of File, click OK.
• Select a file version which you want to back to and click on Get.
• In the Get dialog box, click OK.
• In response to the message asking whether to replace the checked out file, click on Replace.
• Click Close to quit the History of File dialog box.
• Use Check In command on the SourceSafe menu or from context menu which appears by right clicking.

VS 2008 - Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.SyncFacade.SyncManager Error

I experience the following error message when I wanted to get connected to a database on a SQL 2008 Express from a machine with a newly installed Visual Studio 2008.

When I tried "Add New Data Source" and after creating connection string at the time of proceeding to finalize the connection, the Error Message came up:

Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.SyncFacade.SyncManager' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.DslPackage.Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

The simple solution which worked for me was installing VS 2008 SP1, at this moment it's available at:
