Great idea Mike. A few years back when i gamed online more I would've been all over a service like this. Have you ever used webex, gotomeeting, etc? It'd be slick if you could make the startup experience a bit like those so you can start yo

As a developer I've often wished for this. You can stick it in the app description but it'd be nicer if it was on the permission screen. Marking permissions optional would be helpful too.

Interesting but the main point seems to be that tufte shouldn't be making so much money off of his work anymore. Ok, but why not? What am I missing? He did the research, wrote the books, and on the first one took a big financial risk self p

9 months since posting my first android app I'm making 200-300/m from two apps. It took me a good 6 months before I was able to get above 100 though. Not too bad considering I'm competing against free alternatives but a long way to go.

There's a negative aspect to the multi app ui history model as well though in that its easy to create confusing app launch and back button behaviors. Example: if I jump from my app to the browser then hit home then later relaunch the app an

Am I the only person whose taste for these sort of games has fallen off a cliff since Afghanistan and Iraq? Don't get me wrong I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with games based on current events. Its just more of a depressin

I don't think that's true.. when released I don't recall any rdf data being available on data.gov. the rdf initiative came way later, no? On release it was just a list of external data sources with links and metadata.

On the contrary the post explicitly goes into the reasons why current nosql solutions may not be appropriate for enterprise oltp systems. Seems to me that the post didn't say nosql solutions are bad for all enterprise apps just that rdbmses
