Technical books are lacking

Technical books are severely lacking.  If you want to learn CSS for instance, there is slim to none right now.  I am positive that these books and titles will be added as we go on but at its current pace, it will take at least a year if not more for several major titles to land itself on the iBooks sales list.  I’m not sure if this is due to publishing issues or pricing issues but when I’ve reached out to authors of several prominent CSS books they indicated to me that it would be on the iBooks store eventually but they were unsure of exactly when.

Marvel comics pricing is unfair

Marvel comics cost $1.99 per comic regardless of how old it is.  I think that $.99 cents is a little more fairer.  For comic books, I’ll read it once and only once.  With music, it holds a lot more value since I can listen to an mp3 for however long I want to.  With reading, I’m a one time, one hitter quitter type of guy.

Another thing about Marvel is that they don’t have a set release date.  Like music comes out every Tuesday.  At first it appeared Marvel was following a weekly schedule and then it started to get sporadic where it would be a week and two days or sometimes a week and three days.  Then come to find out the latest release only included nine titles.  I was disappointed with that.

Last but not least I really wish Marvel would release stuff from at least six months ago.  I understand they don’t want to compete with themselves for new releases, that is a given but they can still release comics that were released six months ago.  It makes absolutely no sense to keep those away from comic book fans.  Especially fans like me who have almost no places locally to buy comic books.

Mihai P. has posted an answer to the question "some of my tags cannot be removed":

There were two problems:

We used to maintain a list of deleted tags. However, the place where that list was stored had an upper bound on how large data could get, so it was possible for the list to get to be too large, and you could no longer delete any tags. We changed it so that deleting tags would actually delete them (instead of adding them to the "deleted list"), which removed that limitation.

Once we did that, we ran into a secondary issue where old tags (created more than a couple of years ago) were not storing their "owner" in the same way, so the ownership check in the delete operation (to make sure the requesting user has permission to delete that item) was failing. We changed the delete operation to correctly determine the owner for these old tags too.

My Thoughts

A member of the Google Reader team kindly explained why many of us were having problems deleting old tags/folders from Google Reader.  Apparently it is due to the way a) Google Reader dealt with deleting tags and b) ownership issues.

Very interesting and I think it’s great that they’ve finally come out and shed some light on a situation that has been going on for several months now.  I really appreciate the fact that they went out of their way to explain why the problem was occurring and what they did to fix it.

I can say that I was able to finally delete that tag that I could not delete.

Try it now!  All they need now is to allow us to rename folders/tags!
