It doesn't work on Chrome dev builds for a start. I believe other browsers are doing similar.

Yeah I agree with those points. I must admit I didn't read anything really to do with parenting before becoming a parent. It seems like there are so many different variables, every child is totally different, that reading books might even s

It doesn't need to be, but it's nice figuring out how you can turn 'fun toy' into 'monetizable product'.

Indeed. The whole paper is pretty much devoted to scaring the shit out of readers, spouting bizarre stories devoid of any real basis of fact. eg "Immigrants linked to terrorism cancer causing pedophiles"

I made one of these 10 years ago (Java Applet). Great fun, but I have no idea how to make it into much more than a fun toy.

Many people disagree with the idea of Unions. That doesn't mean you should ignore everything they say just because you don't like one of their viewpoints. People aren't "good" or "evil". People are complex. If you ignore someone just becaus

I think their bad communication just makes things works (as far as I see).

I had mine locked. I'm pretty sure it's routine. * You get a large number, or high transaction value * They lock it until you verify bank details/contact details etc * It's unlocked Mine was unlocked in a few days and has been fi

Good to hear :) I imagined reddit advertising would cost much more than that.

by axod 16y ago
Also I think it's relevant to show how much was spent on advertising. If all of that traffic came from paying $$$ to Reddit, then that needs to be taken into account, but if the majority of traffic is from real traction then very cool indee

Maybe so. I don't want to jailbreak a phone, don't want to have to install things to be able to work with it. I just want the thing to work properly :)

It's about 100 little things... I can take a photo/video and share it via email/youtube/facebook etc. I can use any mp3 as a ringtone I can have different ringtones for different things - sms/email/facebook The browsers handling of windows

It depends. You can make money simply finding people who want stuff, and pointing them at stuff. Having content can just be an optional extra which brings repeat sales.

The most obvious route would be: * Make it more of a reminder service for specific dates * Make it email/sms/etc you at pre determined times * Make those communications include handy adverts For example, "I need to buy a present

My main experience and success has been with advertising, so that's what I know, and what I recommend as being easiest to start, easiest to scale. I disagree with your argument. >> "it'll take a large audience before you can make an

I've been making a living out of advertising income for 10 years. I think if anything it's easier now to make money out of advertising. Back in the day you didn't even have adsense/adwords etc. It would be fun to do such an experiment, but

People probably forget/ignore it half a dozen times every two submissions as well.

Yeah ok, not easy, but doable. Anyone here could start a "community for fish tank owners" and make a ton of money from it. The problem can be fairly mundane and not even unique. You just have to do it well, be enthusiastic and put your all

Surely the other point is that "wanting to be rich" isn't a good start. "wanting to be successful, create something useful and have fun" is a far better mindset to have. Do something because you love it. Not because you believe it'll make y

I went from iPhone 3G to Nexus One and it was a massive step up. From what I've seen the Nexus One is still far superior in functionality to the iPhone 4.

* I don't have windows * Read only? lame Having a microSD card, and being able to mount it r/w mass storage from anything, is pretty nice. It's irritating that Apple don't recognize things like that.

by axod 16y ago
Yup. And over the air updates are obviously a good idea. I plug my Nexus One into my computer when I want to, not when it needs to be plugged in (Unlike the iPhone). It stands up as a device on its own.

Apple is great on day one since it doesn't actually have many features. I'm loving my Nexus One here, which has just been updated to 2.2 :) Different ringtones (Anything you like) for sms/email/facebook, tethering, portable hotspot! Flash?
