I can't tell whether I should laugh, cry, or puke. A really well made, polished, fun app. Not innovation.
If we had meaningful innovation in the areas of education and computing, things like Hipstamatic and Instagram would just be fun hobbies, or even just well made grade school projects - not billion dollar businesses. That would open up avenues for true innovation in other fields like photography.
- keithpeter 14y agoKodak made plenty from popular photography in the twentieth century. Popular photography is a major part of most people's lives in the industrial west. I can understand why these apps/services make money. The question for me from this article is why assemble the development team and then not integrate it into the rest of the company. The idea of programmers being left with nothing to do and no direction strikes me, as an outsider, as daft.
