Last time I looked the top 7 grossing apps were free. They make money with in-app purchase. http://appshopper.com/bestsellers/gros/?device=iphone I think it's very difficult to make decent money charging upfront for a mobile app that is t

Also, "click" only makes sense with a mouse. Touchscreens are here to stay.

I work at a web design agency about that size. Good luck finding any budget for testing. Clients don't care, and if you budget for it most will go with a lower bid somewhere else. As someone else said, it's basically account people clicking

> Most kids consider college and experience not an investment Fantastic point. Not only should the students/parents be asking themselves about what return they expect on $100k, the people loaning the money should be too. And because the

Yeah, it would def need to be easy and cheap to retrofit. Almost like Segways built into the seat or something? Probably makes more sense to go after carry-on luggage. Getting 200 people to sit in assigned seats doesn't take that long, it's

I was thinking weight would be the biggest problem. Maybe with new materials its not a problem. We have these automated warehouses and factory floors with robotic carts that can precisely navigate, pickup and deliver loads without a lot of

Was thinking the same thing. Or start charging $50 if you can't fit your carry-on under your seat. Everyone schlepping all their crap through security and on to the plane is 90% of the problem.

Stop charging fees to check bags, and start charging fees for carry-ons. Airlines should WANT checked baggage. And so should TSA.

Maybe this is completely dumb and impractical, but could there be a way to remove the seats from the plane, individually or in groups, maybe on a track (overhead?) like a roller coaster, so that there could be a large boarding area with ple

EXACTLY. This notion that gen y is some sort of elightend urban dweller is ridiculous. Gen y is the most immature gen ever in American history. They treat college like a party, an excuse to extend childish behavior, and just throw the bill

I've been saying this is what magazine publishers should be doing for digital issues for years. At least mainstream popular mags. For their print editions they mail surveys to a subset of readers, use those results to show advertisers what

> pay extra on your mortgage Unless your mortgage is like 8% or more, it would be wiser to put that money in stocks for the long term. You're borrowing money at (say) 4% to own a home. That's a great rate, why be in a hurry to pay it ba

Just got the update Marco. You nailed it with the new fonts. Looks really nice in retina!

If you're rich, you get a better car too. Not really the same thing. You don't have a constitutional right to fly on an airplane. You ARE supposed to be protected from unreasonable searches though. If $100 means that you no longer need to b

"tax" giveaway? It's all borrowed money anyway, not actual tax revenue. Drop in the bucket compared with the rest of the federal budget, and most of it was paid back.

It is that attitude that we're all sick of. Yeah, it's great that some people have the time and talent to gain deep understanding of their computer and software. Some of us just want to use great tools to actually build things and don't hav

It seems like there's a huge opportunity for big software player to develop a git clone that is understandable and has a great UI. I'm thinking of Microsoft. Build the thing right into VS, it becomes the new standard for business source cod

I thought the same thing. It was one of the reasons I didn't think they'd be able to do a retina iPad, it would just be too expensive. Look at the prices of your average 47" LCD HDTV sets, way over $500. And they're probably making less mon

There is an incredible opportunity for Dis/ESPN/ABC to partner with Apple. They have amazing content. That kind of content deal with a new AppleTV is the kind of thing that would finally fundamentally change the whole TV platform, I think a

Too bad ESPN half-assed this. The pro sports industry is so perfect for doing awesome data-based products. All that data that drives all the on-screen stats/replays/camera angles during a TV broadcast... you could just build awesome interfa

Cool stuff. A lot of value can be added by designing your own map, vs the typical dump in a Google map and drop some pins. This inspires me to try out TileMill on one of my own projects.

The richest kids? No way, this is far more beneficial to the poorest kids in the worst school districts in the US (and world)! The richest kids can already go to private schools and get a great prep education. The poorest kids are stuck in

I agree with you. All the evidence shows that the lack of young people driving is economic. All Americans are driving less right now.
