Nicer user interface doesn't always equate into more revenue. Sometimes it's even counterproductive (sales pages w. misspellings/mistakes can convert better!).

It's most definitely over diagnosed. When we were seeking help for my son, the blanket solution was to diagnose ADHD even if some of the results contradicted it. One doctor even went so far as to say that she would diagnose him with 'whatev

I've done accessibility work for large sites/corps and yes, it can cost to retrofit. Getting to the point of basic accessibility for most users is not that hard if you actually -think- about it during the design and development process! Eve

I complained about similar problems, particularly with a multi monitor setup. Then I really dug into behaviors and tore tabs off into new windows. Productivity bliss! There's a very good video on behaviors from wwdc if I remember correctly.

The rolling desk idea is brilliant, I do wonder how often the configurations are shifted around though.

I have to balance my long sessions of hacking and screen time with something physical. Gym, home projects, or something that's making my body work too. I know others have experienced the same thing, with different solutions. Loving the virt

This is interesting because I've got the reverse! My CTR on AdMob is far, far lower.

Some additional info: iAd gives me a 20-70% fill rate (currently 50% for last 7 days) AdMob gives me a 90%+ fill rate fairly consistently

by BenSS 15y ago
I'm surprised you're getting such low fill rates on AdMob. In my HackerNews Padreader app, I'm using iAd, with AdMob to fill in because the fill rates are so much higher (but lower payout). Did you change any of the default ad settings? Cer

Great news, I've been really liking Couch and this means it sticks around much longer.

Neat, I've used localharvest.org that also provides more in depth information. I wonder if they started with the same data.

This is about the same rate I'm getting on the CFL packs I'm getting from BJs. I'm wondering if there's a particular manufacturer or factory that is skimping on components. I have a couple CFLs that are used daily that have lasted 8 years a

There were some funny choices in mine. Apparently I'm twice my age, love race cars, sports, and reptiles. All wrong.

I'm more worried about how it'll effect the game from a personal/player angle than a laundering/fraud issue. Gold farmers are a problem in any MMOG, but this will likely exacerbate the issue. There's also the question of accounts nailed for
