40. Repeat process for every service call

42. Different authentication signatures between table, blob, and queue storage

43. XML Parsing in Objective C hurts

44. Memory allocation/disposal of objects

48. Toolkit should be as simple as possible Everything works on the Mac Enable others to contribute
