Well, finally I got to write a post about the location of Sample projects location.
It has used to be /Developer/Examples. However after introduction of iPhone SDK, the sample projects began to be located in /Developer/Documentation/DocSets/*.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/samplecode.
Then why did they leave the /Developer/Example folder?
Also, when you search sample codes using the Xcode’s search feature, it presents a [...]

dwmapi.dll problem
Due to the fire in the Port Ranch area, Northridge, I have worked at home, or more accurately, in a LA Central Library.
Instead of making progressing in modifying a program’s feature, I tried hard making it compilable at least. Contrary to what said before, the main project depends on its sub-project, which is I expected. [...]

GNAT vs. GNATS : Crazy open source names
I wanted to compile a GHDL for my PowerPC iMac G4 17″.
However, instead of compiling it for myself, I tried the MacPort to download prebuilt binaries for the necessary tools.
I knew that gnatmake is necessary. It seems to me that it is in GNAT project. So, I searched the MacPort. Oh.. there is the GNATS.

Duh….MSDN document AVIMAINHEADER vs. MainAVIHeader
I don’t understand the mechanism MS people think.
Try finding AVIMAINHEADER and MainAVIHeader on the MSDN site.
They are very similar structure, but the MSDN document doesn’t explain what they are, how they are different, and when to use what.
AVI format is also very bad.
There is a so-called original AVI format, called AVI 1.0, while there is [...]

So religious fight between Windows people and Mac people
What a great day!
I posted my inquiry to the Apple’s mailing list, darwin-drivers@lists.apple.com, and a USENET newsgroup, microsoft.public.development.device.drivers.
My question is how to get information on H/W to write a device driver. That question is very platform independent and specific to devices.
One of the response I got from the MS newsgroup is :
You bought a MacBook [...]

Xcode 3.0/Objective-C 2.0 and its previous version
Well, I like the new features of the Xcode 3.0. It has nicer debug feature, and more streamlined menus. For example, “Find/Replace” menu items are now under the Edit menu, which is consistent with other programs. I didn’t understand why there have separate source editor window open for debug session, find session, and so on. [...]

The 3rd graded product
Well, I know it is pretty hard to design and implement operating systems. Although there are many people who don’t like the Windows, I should say that people who made it are great.
OK. Let’s start based on that. Although I understand how difficult it is to make operating systems, something is wrong with the Windows.
I [...]
