  <description>It's that time again... Lightning Talks!!! Every 10th episode here on Merge Conflict we take a look at our list of topics and what our listeners have submitted and pick six different topics that each get five minutes of coverage. This round we take a look at the ideal developer setup, how to manage tricky certificates, properly handling settings in applications, publishing an app in a week, effective app store advertising, and finally how to properly ask for that five star review. Sit back and get ready for an action packed episode! Be sure to tweet or email us with topics that you would like to see covered in the future.
