Still a problem with the shipping iOS and existing LDS.org.

How much longer before the bug is found and fixed?

Best part of tech.lds.org: That it exists at all. There is *somewhere* to find out about technology issues, solutions, and policies related to the church. Worst part: that I disagree with about 90% of the solutions and policy decisions. :) Seriously, I have a hard time finding good bug tracking and ...

I fully, wholeheartedly, disagree with this request, and hope the developers pay it no mind.

What are your thoughts on the future of podcasting and what would it take to make it successful viable video option? In my opinion: (1) Better, cheaper bandwidth HD (even SD) video files are enormous, compared to web surfing. The majority of people aren't willing to pay the money it costs to get fa...
