I'll probably do the business card for this guy, but if he approaches me with any larger projects, I'll most likely turn him down. :)
The larger projects are the ones you make your money on. Little jobs sometimes hardly warrant all the time in initial consultation, doing quotes, invoices, possibly banking cheques and other admin. So don't necessarily turn down good work, but just make sure you're setting your prices, not him. Charge him for every minute of author's corrections too, and make sure that's written on the quote that he signs to accept the job.
Oh, and I forgot to say before, if you do decide to take on any more work from him, make sure you get paid for these jobs first! He could be a non-payer, and then you'll really know what a nightmare client is all about!

Is there anyway to change an app icon from a app store-purchased app on the iPad 2? (Without a jailbreak, obviously)

Not really a fan of her's, just thought the pic was cool haha
Thanks to Melrose for sending me the icons. Hope i gave you a lot to go with now haha
Dude I love the Download icon. Imma make one for me now :D
BTW I made one for Bean word processor app if you'd like that too. I'm working on building a central place for the icons. If you want, I can share a folder in Dropbox where we can both have access to the files at any given moment.

Besides pricing yourself too low and underestimating the time needed to pull-off a project, I picked up on this (your quote).
If you're going to be a professional graphic designer, it's time you got your filing/archiving system down. As you saw on that phone call, a little fumbling around and disorganization doesn't reflect wel and gives your nightmare clients the opportunity to belittle you. Don't give them that opportunity. Be organized.
One final thing. Phone time is meeting time. Meeting time is billable. Especially when the phone calls are over 1/3 of your billable time.
And good luck with the career. :)
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I do have a pretty good archiving system. I have a folder untitled "freelance" and therein is a folder named after each client and then each project. The guy kind of threw me with the sudden weekend call. You're right about the phone time too. No more mister nice guy; there's no reason to cheat myself for billable meeting time when I'm already lowballing myself.:)

Of course it's in his mind, it is his opinion after all.
But there have been countless studies on how people are subconsciously influenced by almost everything they see. That's one of the reasons why marketing departments have work. And then we see different car models with different names for different countries.
And I would say that .me isn't a very good choice. It just doesn't mean squat. Given that they must call it something, better use some word that will send a message or advertise the platform.
Apple doesn't need to create brand awareness through an online service. They have more brand awareness than just about anyone already. What I feel they need to do is add more value to the products we're already purchasing.
Making 'find my iPhone' free was a small step in the right direction. It's not all about promoting these features to new customers. Any smart business person knows that it's cheaper to keep your existing customers happy than to be chasing new ones. Apple should be doing everything they can to create a computing experience that is so good, you just can't bring yourself to walk away from it once you're using it. In the year that has to include things like easy and reliable syncing of data between devices and convenient online access to some of your data. I just don't know why it's taking Apple so long to realise this.
I'm not dismissing the role of marketing names in guiding perceptions, but what's more important here is the overall value added to existing customers. An inadequate or overpriced service simply can't hide behind a catchy name. On the other hand, Apple could call it something really dull like 'Apple Online Services', and still blow people away with a great experience. I for one couldn't have cared less if Spotlight had been called Search, or Time Machine had been called Backup. They actually remind me a bit of the whole 'Sherlock' nonsense before OS X. I think Apple overestimates the value of these sub-brands for what most consumers likely see as basic services.
As for the suitability of a 'me.com' email address for business, anyone who is serious about business will have their own domain name. I don't think the mere presence of the word 'me' in the MobileMe name reeks 'me generation' ugliness. To me it says something like 'personal online services that I can access from anywhere'. And that is essentially what it should be.

Petabytes didn't exist in my dictionary until today. Thank you, MacRumors.
My first thought has already been said.
Im curious how long that will suffice...
My first question has been asked.
12 petabytes? That doesn't seem like too much, actually. that's 1GB of storage for 12 million customers
My first concern has been noted.
---
This thread has read my mind today. I learned what a Petabyte is - today is a good day.
I am concerned about how long Apple will take to fill that space and need to expand, of course, this is the first round of storage purchasing, and I'm sure there is more to come - but I'm not as concerned as I am interested. The rate at which this storage is used, consumed, and expanded upon will really show how far we've come in terms of computing capacity.
An IT professor I know whom I saw today said, "It's a great time to be alive", and that has stuck with me very well for the past few hours. I truly am happy to be here to witness our expansion in technology. :)

Sounds intuitively reasonable, do you have any good evidence to support this bold assertion, or just a feeling?
Trying, trying real hard.
Wow, just wow. Upon what do you base that assessment?
Really, what i'm saying is that dressing provocatively is not an invitation for rape. I feel that immature men misinterpret a provocative dress as an invitation. And immature women dress provocatively to get attention.
If a man is sexually driven to rape then dressing provocatively definitely doesn't help the situation.
Just my opinion.
My evidence? common sense through experiences, i've seen this situation enough.
Okay, what do you think about the Sharia Law?

Someone call the WAAAAA-Ambulance.....
The emailer is most likely an early adopter who feels cheated...
So is this guy going to write to Steve Jobs every time he finds an iPad on eBay for $100 less than retail? How about 1� auctions?
If TJ Maxx got their hands on enough stock who the F cares and go pick one up if you want one! I'm personally waiting for Gen 2 with FaceTime.

Ok apparently there are different Applications provided from Hamachi. You just have to pick the right one.
Why do they even write different applications and not an all-in-one one ?
