You'd think it would be relatively easy for the leagues to provide separate streams that omit gambling ads (and maybe sell that ad space to others).

Wild. I've been using iPhones for 17 years and it took until today for me to learn this. Thanks j_bum.

Congrats, maghfoor. But the lack of price transparency is a real turn-off. Nothing on the website or in the App Store — you have to download the app to find out how much it will cost you.

I wonder how the results of this poll break down for non-parents vs. parents (or those actively planning to have kids). I'm guessing the latter have significantly higher targets.

Richard Jones did a nice presentation about this in August 2011, comparing 10 Python frameworks along a lot of useful metrics (perf, simplicity, size, documentation, etc) by developing the same "hello world"-ish app in each one. He even scored them at the end.
