I'd sell all of it and move on. Most boring business ever. And it's not like it's going to be worth more, ever, anyway.

Sorry but no. Most people are cattle. Utter retards. The only thing missing them is drooling on the floor and making feces. They're little more than animals that can speak. Anyone even remotely smart knows most people are stupid compared to

Good luck making money selling apps on the Nokia :) (there's a reason it's free)

¿? I don't want you to sympathise or comment on my case, why would I?. I'm just saying that's how any Microsoft contest works, they use people and when things don't turn out the exact way Microsoft wants they screw them. My point is this is

All Microsoft contests are like that, just promotional. They choose the winner according to what they think will look better for Microsoft itself. I participated in the Imagine Cup a few years ago when I was finishing college and our projec

Some people need the money because it's their only source of income or because they need the cash flow for their business, or whatever. Tell them to start worrying 15 days later. About the payments, on Google's side they show up as having b

I hope so too, because it's pretty obvious to me that's what he's doing (stepping out), out of sheer common sense, and I'm grateful for that.

The point is not that it's 9am in California, the point is that it's the 13th March already, and the first human answer we get, just minutes ago, is a developer of the new 3-man team being assembled to take over that derelict product -that

What you're quoting is not about fragmentation. It's that the Android Market and Google chckout payment fail. A LOT. You get a lot of transactions declined because Google apparently doesn't trust the credit card, AND a lot don't go through

Many people have tried contacting them through multiple support forms about this march payment issue and they're not managing to get any humans to answer them.

by alvarosm 15y ago
AFAIK, they're not different products, they just rebranded checkout. I guess it's still checkout for the Android market because they haven't migrated that yet.

Only top apps can afford to d that, and then losing much revenue. Anyo ther app is prone to become irrelevant in am atter of months without updates or promotion. And again, what you said applies to any other platform such as PCs, where app

2) Investment? how about the time all the independent developers put in all the apps you can download? how's that for an investment? Free ride you say? is this some sick joke?

I don't understand why everyone here appears to be "on the side of" the carriers, google, apple, etc. The app developers give a smartphone a sizeable part of its value (half? more?), and they're getting screwed because the other players hol

Except that app developers don't get $5 on each PC, they get more.

About mobile apps: Apple and Google have encouraged everyone to expect practically free apps and to develop apps practically for free. They, together with the phone manufacturers and carriers, get the money and the market share. The develop

Ah, I see... well I'd try to remove any permissions you can and explain somewhere in the description that the permissions are for syncing. Also, buy your app and give it 5 stars, so people can see a rating. I've been looking for other japa

I'm also an app developer myself. Some suggestions: Price: use 7.99, people will still read 7, it's hard to believe but yes, they can't be bothered to read or remember 3 digits. Careful with 8+ though, some will read "10". Apply some discou

Yeah this is like BP making excuses for the oil spill. Anyway, it's every iPhone owner's fault that they give away their privacy that easily without even caring. On the other hand it's Path's fault that they seem to have done this without a

Depending on the option you choose, you're giving away your internet for free or for too little. Meanwhile, fon is profiting fully. If it's for free, well, sure you have free access too but you're still giving much more than you're taking i

You might have had to start in a particular city and promote your app heavily there. You might still be able to, I don't know. But this was a risk from the beginning, you knew that, right? You might find this post-mortem interesting: http:

Password issues aside, Fon is a scam by a con artist. Just stop using it...

I think this is the best answer so far, if the things you used to love don't satisfy you the way they did, you're probably burnt out. If, on the other hand, your not meeting your own expectations stems from screwing up priorities (avoiding

This is very likely to be a scam. The guy is just delusional and trying to get financing to make it work because it probably doesn't work at all . Why don't they visibly disconnect the generators? why don't they allow anyone to verify that

You should have moved the coins out. Now they're reverting the trades because the alternative is accepting liability for their awful security (which is probably, well, still awful). Bitcoin trading is the wild west, if you behave like Jesus

I guess not much, because they're heavily overloaded and they can't/won't spare the bandwidth. But that's not an issue, really, I guess they will eventually allow themselves to have a 1:1 up/down ratio at least, that should be nothing compa

They are downloading and redistributing pirated movies. They're basically helping piracy, and they're an easy target. They'll get shut down eventually if they don't die sooner on their own.
