    What I'm about to reveal to you can never leave the four walls of this thread.

    I am Khalid Shaikh.

    I don't know, guys... I just guess/feel this is our man.
    At least there are more chances that he's this one rather than an Al Qaida terrorist. :)

    Don't know, the age, interests and work could match the lifestyle of an iPhone developer.

    As said, we know our man is smart, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a talent for doing something not sketchy.

    That would be very cool.
    I kinda envy him now (until he'll get arrested for something).
     
  6. And he's a McGill alum, which means he's from my country! Okay, Quebec, which half wishes it was another country unto itself, but it's still Canada!

    On behalf of my country, I apologize for this second-hand douche. Really, we've been working on improving the genepool, but occasionally a recessive one passes through the filter and we get crap like this. Just look at Jean Cretien! We're still sending apology notes for him.

    Here is another one on their way to being like khalid (sorry, I don't know how to make an itunes link - Could someone link it?)

    synx.us

    This developer has always gotten on my nerves for making the same game over and over changing one thing - and it's pure garbage.

    At least they are only charging 99cents a pop!

    That guy can't be the infamous Khalid Shaikh of the App store, a McGill alum would never do such a thing. :cool:

    Brighthouse Labs also has 128 wonderful apps!

    Anyway, I wonder why Khalid has chosen to use his own name. To me, it seems like he is badly tarnishing his personal reputation. But maybe, to him, he is seriously proud of what he's doing? Eegads.

    Nice point.
    It could be probably a fake name.
    Since he's clearly trying not to be found (see the emails stuff), a fake name would be the best move for him.

    Please Touch Arcaders, let's not talk about other sketchy devs here...
    This thread is entirely dedicated to the one and only Khalid Shaikh (aka THE MASTER)!!!
     
  12. What do you expect? Dude's using free hosting at 110mb.com -- and I know from experience they stink. They've got more down time than Lindsay Lohan.

    Also, he spelled "basis" wrong.

    Also also, what the hell does that generic tripe even mean? All I'm getting from that is "We use computers. You use computers. Let's use computers together."

    I think that guy from the interview was actually Khalid Shaikh.
    He has twitter (http://twitter.com/khalidshaikh) with the same photo.
    and there are replies linking him to Apple and Apps.
    He has replied with the following post to 'QueenRania':

    '@QueenRania We have released over 300+ iPhone Apps. We are going to release two apps for you. One will track your twitter feed.
    11:48 AM May 8th from web in reply to QueenRania.'

    I just twittered the twit. I'm starting off friendly asking "Are you the founder of YouSendIt? I can't find you mentioned anywhere on the www.yousendit.com site." I can't wait to see where this conversation goes and will keep you all posted.

    Yeah, be sure to compliment his apps (if he is the real Khalid Shaikh) and be nice in order to get more information out of him. Then when he gives us his e-mail adress, BAM! the abusive e-mails begin :D.
