Look, a lot of folks are looking at their advice as saying "don't quit--it's too risky to your own income" That's just a side effect! Building it on the side lets you make different decisions. You can focus on getting a small amount of re

Used cars from a decent dealer nowadays have a modest warranty.

This sounds like something like we'd complain about if Microsoft did it.

This happens to me. Usually after putting to sleep. It just doesn't wake up for a few minutes, sometimes. Very annoying. Gotta admit it's an amazing product otherwise.

Because gentle jiggling/rocking tends to calm babies. Mine, anyway. Sometimes, gentle jiggling doesn't work, so you do it a bit more. Nothing much, just kinda a joggle with the knees, but the increased frequency/amplitude works better so

Yes, I get this. And if this applies, sure--take the money. I guess you weren't doing what you wanted before. But what if you were already doing what you wanted? If you're lucky enough to wake up and do something you'd pay to do--and

Look: if you love what you do (they seem to), and you make enough money at it to be secure (they seem to), why would you "sell out"? Yeah, you could sell out--but why?

To be fair, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jason doesn't have the foggiest idea if Matt is a high profile user. He (or rather, 37s) is like Kibo: mention that you had a bad experience from them online, and WOOSH! there he is. Now, I'm n

I've worn pink shirts. Not a problem, but I don't think I look good in the color. So I'm not gonna wear pink just to signal I'm a real man if it's not a good color for me, color-wise.

Bleh. No most-recently-used-first control-tab behavior. Uninstalled. Also, I'd expect easier preferences setting than editing a config file for $59.

Yes, that was the point--cutting through the sleaze. Thanks for the pointers.

Yeah, we're saving our own spare water (extra from a glass; leftover water from cooking, etc.). We have a jug in the kitchen with a funnel. But we're in an area with mandatory water restrictions.

Do you have a source? Where do affiliates hang out and talk about business models?

From the article it sounds like he got his brother to sign, reading slightly between the lines. So his brother would be the one on the hook, legally, if that were the case.

OK. But--all things must end. If, say, you did not have a desktop component, are you obligated to keep the service up--forever? That's a long time. I wonder if--like a not-bargain price--a subscription fee is an indicator (to a differen

What user groups are extraordinarily resistant to subscription models? How do you know this? Not to get all [citation needed] on you or anything--heck, I am resistant to subscription models! I just figured you have some data (yours or

I figured they didn't have a lot of extra room in the case. Not that the Nano seems to, either. Edit: or the rumored manufacturing delays made them delay the announcement.

Kudos to all who are trying to make bike-like commuting practical. I'm looking forward to practical ideas.

I do not have cable, satellite, or any other tv subscription. I get maybe two broadcast channels. I bring this up not to be "that guy" but to say that I do watch hulu. Especially because my viewing is such that it's after everyone is asle

Heard an interesting point once regarding teaching the gifted. Apparently we devote tons of time and effort teaching kids that are at the left side of the intelligence curve. But the equal number of gifted students on the right side are su

Wow, this never occurred to me. Great observation. Funny thing is, I personally used a Mac until OS X, and not since. So, ever since they came up with a decent OS, I haven't used it.

Ha, according to the linked article it sends orders to the dev server by default (look in Settings). Looks like they forgot to remove the development switches. Maybe it was made by the same folks as the last one...that one was awful.

Any way of getting the secret menu options on this app? Doesn't look like it, and my kids only eat off the off-menu stuff.

It is very interesting to see such a diligent focus on the low-end, small processor side of things. However, I don't think anyone got rich betting that technology wasn't constantly improving.

It is very, very interesting to see someone in a position to essentially A/B test sales of the same app online and on the desktop. Thanks for the data. I am a bit less surprised when I checked the site and noticed that you don't seem to ha
