Apple Posts 13 billion in holiday season … but something doesn’t add up

You believe everything you hear when it's packaged like this.

You’ve heard, by now, the news on Apple bringing in 46 billion in revenue, doubling their profit from the year before.   Much of the earnings have come from 37 million iPhones sold (128% increase), roughly 15.5 million iPads (111% increase), 5.2 million Macs (26% increase), and some iPods.  But take a minute and let’s look under the hood …

A common setup with Cubase from 3.0 on is to install Komplete instrument sets and vst plugins. Anyone using this setup will and can experience random garbling of a track, midi instrument, or random effects.

Craigslist Posting: Why I Didn’t Buy You A Drink

I stumbled across this posting from Craisglist today and thought it was not only funny but very true.  This goes out to all the ladies that go out with the sole purpose of flirting with guys just to get free drinks and then not even talking to a guy after they got their drink.

Reply To This Post

So a couple of weeks ago a put up a post regarding the etiquette of intersexual drink-buying at bars. Lo and behold, this past weekend a friend of mine got burned at the tav by falling for the exact trap that my post warned against. Accordingly, I felt compelled to repost for the benefit of all the beautiful women in Salt Lake who don’t want to scroll all the way down to find the original post. This may be redundant, but I cannot in good conscience let this phenomenon go overlooked. So here it is again: Why I didn’t Buy You a Drink.

CollegeHumor.com Prank War

Since this thing is 3+ years old I’m sure a bunch of you have seen this before, but I felt it was worth posting again.  This was actually the “series” that really got me hooked on reading CollegeHumor.com every day.  When I first came across their prak wars, I thought they were hilarious.  I felt that Streeter’s pranks were better than Amir’s, at least until Prank Wars 4: Streeter Bombs.   Regardless, these are funny as hell and I can’t wait until the next prank is pulled.

Magento 1.3 API Bug fixes

If your using the latest stable version of Magento 1.3 and are having issues with the XML RPC API you should try modifying the files below.

  • Bug #1: “Calling parameters do not match signature” when doing Login via XML RPC

    The latest version of Zend Framework has altered the some of the array formats which will ultimately cause the Magento API to fail.

    File: lib/Zend/XmlRpc/Server.php

    Find this code:

    if (!$matched) {  #require_once 'Zend/XmlRpc/Server/Exception.php';  throw new Zend_XmlRpc_Server_Exception('Calling parameters do not match signature', 623);}

    Replace with:

    /*if (!$matched) {  #require_once 'Zend/XmlRpc/Server/Exception.php';  throw new Zend_XmlRpc_Server_Exception('Calling parameters do not match signature', 623);}*/
  • Bug #2: “Access Denied” when doing Login via XML RPC

    File: app/code/core/Mage/Api/Model/Server/Handler/Abstract.php

    Find this code:

    public function login($username, $apiKey){  $this->_startSession();  try {    $this->_getSession()->login($username,$apiKey);

    Replace with:

    public function login($username, $apiKey){  $this->_startSession();  try {    $this->_getSession()->login($username[0],$apiKey[0]);

    Find this code:

    public function call($sessionId, $apiPath, $args = array()){<br><br>  $this-&gt;_startSession($sessionId);

    Replace with:

    public function call($sessionId, $apiPath, $args = array()){  $sessionId = $sessionId[0];  $apiPath = $apiPath[0];<br><br>  $this-&gt;_startSession($sessionId);
