So they've spent a entire year getting into a mobile phone catalogue and developing two apps. a tip calculator and a pirate snowman card maker!

A `Tip Calculator`???

How {bleep}ing completely embarrasing.  How terribly embarrasing indeed.

Tip Calculator takes the guess work out of what to leave for your tip. Simply type in the amount of your bill and Tip Calculator takes care of the rest. Immediately select from one of the levels and the amount and total are right there ready to apply to the bill. Now you will never have to worry about what the correct amount should be.

TipIt provides a simple and easy way to calculate tips for not only your server at the restaurant but cab fares and everywhere else you may want to know what the correct amount should be.


OMG this is {bleep}ing hilarious !  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :roflmao:  :roflmao:  :roflmao:
it's official ! AInc are a joke !

They expect people to pay for a Tip calculator... There are about 50 free ones on the App Store... And they do other cool things like split the bill, convert between currancies (auromatically via a live link to xe.com)... I guess Ray is getting better at programming now and has managed to copy out Example 2.3 from his "VB for dummies" book...

A tip calculator ? I'm British - we don't give them :lol:

Here's a tip for Amiga Inc - Try selling something that people want to buy. You may be surprised at the outcome !

hahaha, ok just trying to think about the shear volume if code required to make the tip calculator work:

Code: [Select]

float tip = meal_price * 0.1;


That seriously must have taken Ray months and months of hard project planning and debugging to get that to work...

Looks like three calculations at three different percents.  We don't tip here in Oz either, but it seems to me you could easily figure 10% by moving the decimal.  The other App creates weird snowmen.   I can't think of anyone I would send a weird snow man to.

This website's color scheme sucks and it loads too slowly! No way I'm leaving these jokers a tip.
