"Flat" is simply an aesthetic style. To me, it does not require any more or less skill to produce compared to other design trends (Web 2.0, Skeuomorphism, ect). Flat design not new and it is not a cop-out.

Your take-home pay should be somewhere in the $2500/mo range. That leaves you with about $600,after paying your rent and parents mortgage, for everything else in life (utilities, cellphone, ect). That's not likely enough to save up for the

It depends on how polished you are looking to get and how much experience you have with Photoshop/Illustrator and general front-end development. If you are simply looking to get some iOS experience, you should be able to hack together the U

$100 USD (assuming this is USD) is pretty steep for remote mentoring. ...unless you have an extremely challenging, and specific problem they are going to help you solve. For general iOS tutoring/mentoring, there are countless resources avai

Audio Technica ATH-A700 I can not recommend these more. Super comfortable, closed back, huge drivers, great balanced sound, affordable. The "winged" support makes these babies wear-able all day and night. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Tech

From what I have seen, both your salary expectations and cost of living should be very similar. However... 110k for a PM w/ 2 years exp. does sound pretty high to me (for NYC), but it does depend on industry/company.

1) I normally use Amazon's S3 service to host and serve images to iOS apps. Your backend will maintain and "serve" up the URL's to these photos and the iOS app will have to pull them by that URL. 2) I am sure they are pre-loading and/or cac
