Should I Buy the Insurance for an Itouch?

The AppleCare Protection Plan are all really expensive, but they are all totally worth it. I have a MacBook Pro, and now I am regretting not getting the warranty. For three years length, it is a deal in my opinion. Just make sure you follow the instructions, because for example, if you wiped your iPod touch with an alcohol wipe (you should not) and it is damaged, then Apple would say that they hold no responsibility since it clearly says to only clean the external body of the iPod touch with a slightly damp lint-free microfiber cloth. It all depends on the role the iPod touch plays in your life though-if you will bring it around, and if it is your only iPod with your whole music library in it, definitely. But if otherwise, you may want to think about it due to the high price tag. :)

1. Planning to buy a laptop. Advice needed.?

Nope. Mac comes complete with dual core processor, RAM, and professional grade programs. If you purchase a XYZ (or, a Dell) that runs Vista or even XP, you will have to spend up to $1250 for the software that Apple includes on their product! The demo computers you can see at Costco or Bestbuy or the Office chainstores, all have TRIALware on their screens, and the prices are HUGE! ( Tip, get the FREE OpenCD at the opencd.org site!) Or, get a Dell Ubuntu laptop. Linux looks and runs similar to Mac, with tons of FREE heavy duty professional grade applications, programs, suites. a. Linux and Macs are IMMUNE to the Microsoft million virus, trojan, malware exploits. Only Microsoft has to run 9 AV and Spybot prevention programs in overhead! b. All movies since "Titanic - 1997" were made using Linux clusters, and Shrek 3 is an example of the prowess of modern, evolved, Linux!

Hey, Here are some quick intros to the application/mobile platform. 1. Using website and stylesheet code to create your application. Many people have started working with a hybrid type of mobile app, which means that they do not have to learn objective-c or android. Hybrid languages include HTML, CSS, Javascript and more. Ex site: phonegap.com 2. Android, this is one of the popular mobile platforms that you will work on. There are two routes that you can go. The first one us using Android Studios which is something that Google as created to help you develop your applications. The second is using Eclipse and installing the Android plugin. Both will require some sort of coding in Java. 3. Objective-C, Apple. Apple is also a very popular platform. If you can work with both Apple and Android, you get over 80% of the mobile users all around the world. Objective-C is the code that Apple expects people to use for their mobile application, they have also started coming out with a new code, called Swift, which will replace Objective-C. Best of luck man, work hard, and be disciplined. You got this!
