Thanks for sharing this Colin, I originally wanted to do something more fun & pg-like for the iPhone as well but I decided against doing fancy stuff in favor of actually prepping for the interview. I actually only published the app to t

It's the latter, but I guess in this world of clouds soon I won't have the option of just keeping things on my device alone.

I guess it's a matter of intent: if I already know I'll want to share the pic I'm about to take I just fire up Instagram, otherwise I use the standard camera app. On a related note: the Google+ Instant Upload feature does even 'better'. Fro

Think about it this way: previous generations conspicuously consumed "brand X" for the same reason: to show off. Now we can "show off" without consuming. In my book, that's progress. I'm not sure it makes us happier, though.

Turns out that unlike FOSS software that runs on your device, apps which have a server-based component can only be offered as "Free as in Beer" & not "Free as in Freedom" services.

Ah, but then you have only shared a pic & you haven't turned it into a social object you can comment on & like & whatnot. My mistake, I should have put that more clearly in words in the original post. Also, AFAIK when Instagram

I didn't put it in the blog post for fear of making it too long, but one example of where "no choice" is a better option is in the image format: Instagram eliminates the question of "Should I shoot this in portrait or in landscape?".

Agreed that both doing and telling are important. When done well, both can become an art-form. One thing I find myself struggling with all the time is switching between these two modes of thought. I find that the switching cost to go from '

One of the strategies I use to combat App Overload is a "Clean Home Screen Policy": I try to keep my Home Screen as sparse as possible. Only stuff I really need is allowed on the Home Screen. I currently only have 8 apps in there. I'll al

I'd love to see a pocket hub that will take multiple sims & route my calls transparently over WiFi/VoIP.

I don't think you love simcards, I think you love the freedom to switch & a simcard is just the way you get that freedom right now . From a UX perspective the simcard is a pretty weak solution. For a starter, why do I have to reboot my

I'm probably reading too much into it, but to me, "Keep Calm and Carry On" resonates very well with entrepreneurial spirit. A great reminder that even in defeat there is no need for drama: keep calm, carry on (& create something new!)

Why not ? Isn't competition supposed to be a good thing? Also: if you're convinced an idea is going to be big, why not bet on a few companies at the same time? This is not a horse -race.

Can the people I mention in this blog post step up & tell me where I should link to? I'm sorry, I did an even lousier job than usual at remembering names last night, prolly the beer </excuse>

Social validation goes further than the site. HN for me is not only a filter for quality news but also for quality people . I'll gladly meet up IRL with a HN user I haven't met before, Reddit & other niche interest sites not so much. A

Does anyone know if the soft keeps track of resubmissions? I really treated the form as a scratchpad this time around, not sure if that's good or bad though.
