freemium is huge. It's why there's been so much movement in that direction. Anecdotally, I'd heard a tale that one iOS developer thought "what the heck" and added a seemingly absurd $40 in-app tier purchase option, and it turned out to be

iAds has its issues. But this blog post isn't the reason not to use or rely on them. Just because this guy who has a very unpopular app hasn't made much on iAds doesn't extrapolate out to iAds or ads in general not being useful for mobile

I find the tone of this article very strange. It starts off as a very positive "Hey, Android's worth doing". But by the end, you feel like he's being driven mad due to the added frustrations. :)

What's your end goal? Are you trying to build this up to be a business in itself? Or just trying to make a name for yourself? I think one key to building an audience in blogging is regular content. Last post appears to be Jun 10th. That'

Depending on your end goal, I completely disagree. If you are putting up a company blog, sure no ads is fine. But if your ultimate plan is to have ads on the site, add them early. You don't want to spring them on people once you gain trac

I prefer having multiple monitors. The bezel is not an issue for me. I like the ability to compartmentalize in different monitors for different tasks. But I have used a primary (larger) monitor as my main monitor and a side monitor for a

The only thing people should be aware of in this situation is that $2000 under your bed actually cost you $4000 or whatever since you are holding a balance on your credit card with high interest.

I'd be curious what the survey would have shown if it were given in 2007. I bet at least some of the people who can't come up with $2000 today is because they've already eaten into their emergency funds due to lost jobs, economy, etc...

Lodsys hasn't actually yet filed suit against anyone. Just sent threatening letters.

but at least the legal burden then falls on Apple and not mom & pop app dev. Worst case scenario I'd expect Apple pays Lodsys an undisclosed sum to license the tech for the devs.

If you dig into their sites, there are some general descriptions. My understanding is that they partner with ISPs, toolbars and the like to get data on people's browsing habits. So small time ISP might share what sites are being visited, s

Bad conclusion. The same factors that make something inherenty viral or popular will also make something highly pirated. You can't draw causation because they are born from the same factor. (Just from the excerpt in this article, I sent a l

Yes, I didn't need an analogy. I wanted to know why, in a secure house which presumably had cameras and sign in sheets, why couldn't they review the video tapes to see if someone had actually taken the keys or not. (to extend your analogy)

While that might seem true, it's interesting how the web scene has played out. When the iPod came out, there was an ecosystem of iPod-related websites that emerged that was distinct from the Apple/Mac web. When the iPhone came out, another
