That assumes 1 view = 1 date, when I'd bet the conversion rate of views -> messages -> dates is probably way, way lower. 100 views = 10 messages = 1 date seems like a ballpark, but there are so many variables that it must be differe

Wikipedia's article on mvp (I know, I know), includes this: >The canonical MVP strategy for a web application is to create a mock website for the product and purchase online advertising to direct traffic to the site. The mock website ma

This is nothing more than an unsourced fanboy response to a poorly created article. This guy seems to be endlessly harping on Android market share as if having the most users will trick Android developers into forgetting that a much smaller

Also, it's a bunch of small time techno labels, and not a single major label is a part of the enormous sounding "200 labels".

And this obfuscates the point that many web games rely on scripting languages on the server side to handle most tasks. You can't rely on the client to do much game logic without (rightfully) being paranoid about the user themselves interfer

"What about just expulsion from your own house?" Americans are being foreclosed on in mass, and in some instances they've been forced out of their homes wrongly by a corporation who made a mistake (here's looking at you, BoA). But with 50%

Don't obfuscate reality to lend credence to an all-too-familiar anti-Apple rant. Microsoft is utilizing ridiculously old, unrelated patents to force Android manufacturers to pay up. Apple is using designed in house, relevant and modern pate

That's actually an incredibly poor analogy: Republic is upfront about their limitations, cheap web hosts by default are not. Republic is saying "We're a wifi company that uses Sprint 3G as an unfortunate but necessary safety net, so you alw

Because Doom 3 was released 7 years ago and the engine was probably in major development what, 8-9 years ago? They've since moved on and their most recent game, RAGE, uses the fifth version of their engine, not the fourth. They're basically

You're right, but as a current iPhone 3G owner not getting updates, I can say that I had a great life for this phone (3.5 years and counting) and that I'm not mad Apple decided to stop supporting it. It's a very old device with very little

I also find it amusing that many great iPhone4S videos are edited on device with iMovie, but the Nexus video needed a $999 program to get a well-edited clip. But regardless of the platform wars, this is just further proof that the hardware

Don't be dense, the parties have a lot of power in the economy. The crash of 2008? Many economists wisely point to Republican-led market deregulation, notably the repeal of Glass-Steagal in 1999, as the causes. Considering that Democrats fi

Yes, definitely a function of rural. I live in the South, with a few million suburbanites surrounding me just outside a major city, and I pay Comcast about $50/mo for 24Mbps down. Heck, they offer 100Mbps (and possibly more).

Nine figures buyout? You really do have to believe in your future success to turn that down, especially as a two year old company and long before the current milestones. That kind of money, Drew's payout would have been substantial, enough

Heh, except they decided to charge per-sock what I like to pay per-pack.
