Some people believe Apple will be sending developers a form 1099 and others believe we just handle the revenue as one would for consulting. Since I'm running as a L.L.C. I'm not quite sure how to handle this on my Schedule C. If anyone has links or knowledge on how this should be handled please leave a comment. Also, if you have a reference where Apple says they are sending 1099's I would love a link to that too. Thanks.<div><br /></div><div>Here are a few links I have been able to find on the subject so far:</div><div><a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1717522">Apple Discussion forums</a></div><div><a href="http://fav.or.it/post/1055389/app-store-lessons-taxes-and-app-store-earnings">fav.or.it</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7809267462430231418-2169515467125613142?l=cubeyellow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jeff Hawkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10037721520920902570noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7809267462430231418.post-23615089047651451532009-01-20T18:10:00.009-05:002009-01-22T20:57:22.809-05:00<a href="http://www.mattballdesign.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Matt Ball</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> created some excellent OS X icons for developers to use in their applications but they have been difficult to find since he reworked his website.

It has been a great transition from my first Mac Book Pro that I bought right after Apple introduced the Mac Book Pro with the new Intel chips.<div>There is one thing that has been bugging me big time with the unibody Mac Book Pro and that is the touchpad and Safari/Firefox. I just cannot stop myself from zooming webpages in and out as I scroll with the new trackpad and it is just driving me nuts. Apple provides no way to turn the zooming off.</div><div>I finally had enough of this and wrote a InputManager to stop the zoom gesture when Safari or Firefox is active. Please follow the instructions below carefully to install it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Download link: <a href="http://www.cubeyellow.com/downloads.html">http://www.cubeyellow.com/downloads.html</a></div><div><ol><li>Quit out of Safari/FireFox and Mail</li><li>Unzip the download if it has not already been unzipped.</li><li>open Terminal.app</li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">cd /Library</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">mkdir InputManagers</span> - Note this directory might already be there.
