My post was rather misleading. I have been working on the side for the past 3 years now on iPhone apps. I have 6 months of savings, and I have a daily income from existing iPhone apps that matches my current corporate job. I'm releasing a n

Good luck! I'm quitting my corporate job on 4/3/2012 so I'm very interested in your post at the moment. I only have about 6 months of runway + 2 kids + wife + 2 dogs....maybe I'm crazy? Probably. I suppose I can sell the dogs if worse comes

Interesting find. Now I am very skeptical of this site. Does anyone know if Linus really said this stuff?

What is this site? It's full of what appears to be anti C++ propaganda. I am left wondering, did Linus really say any of this?

I agree with this. The #1 reason why I have been reluctant to leave my current job is because it will cost an extra $700 / month to get health insurance through my wife's employer. Not to mention the risk of what would happen if she somehow

Beautiful website. Also, I don't normally read the About section of websites, but your Founder's Story was excellent. Very well written, couldn't stop reading it: http://www.cheekswab.org/about-cheekswab/founders-story/ I don't have any t

I suppose I can't disagree with you. The technology around space exploration should continue to advance, however I think that we won't make any real progress on colonizing the universe, or even the solar system, until we are much less fragi

I thought that R. Kurzweil's book, The Singularity is Near, really had a compelling argument against space travel in the short term. There's nothing more ridiculous than sending biological life into space. Let's shed some of our biological

Whenever I'm stumped and turn to google with a programming question, it's always such a relief to see SO as the top result. No other site has the same quality of answers, IMO.

That's funny, I didn't even notice it. Banner burnout, I suppose.

Technically, it's not a game, since it is listed in the Education category.

The permission requirements are ridiculous, but are required for Mobclix. I would like to get away from all that, with a single requirement for Internet.

Thanks for the tip. What publisher are you working with?

I have another app, SimplePhysics, which is a far better app, and I made it free last week. I have a notification in it that says: "If you like SimplePhysics, then you should check out my other game, BridgeBasher!" and redirects them to the

It may be worthwhile for me to chime in here with my own stats, which are far less impressive than bignoggins. I recently ported my iOS app, BridgeBasher, to Android. I took a different route though. Since I had no users on Android, I thoug

Thanks for posting your figures! What did you do to advertise the new app on Android? I have recently ported one of my games from iOS to Android and even though it is free on Android, it is really having trouble getting traction, and this i

Ha, thanks. I really suck at finding out if I'm going to post a dup. I just did a site search of HN on the URL, but apparently the article was regurgitated from several news sites. Oh well, thanks for linking me with those comments. Interes

Ok, that was awesome..inject gold plated nanobots into your body and then heat them up with infrared to kill cancer cells. My question is, how do you get the nanobots out of your body once their job is done?
