Didn't JamLegend come out of LaunchBox? Edit: yes they did. So they have at least one monster hit.

Seriously. Any guesses at the take? Assuming, of course that Apple doesn't withhold earnings of banned apps.

I actually think you're wrong, sadly. People in the real world, people that are likely to download songs, are not digital cognoscenti like members of HN. They read about this (or watch it on TV, most likely) and think "Shit! Tell Johnny to

I have to respectfully disagree with Doerr on one point: "You should be working on something even if no one paid you anything for it". This is laughable. It's been said before, but i'll say it again: it's easy to say things like "don't worr

Note however that: 1) the get-rich-quick stories are irresistible. ( Hurry up and approve my app so I can make a million in six weeks like SGN!! ). 2 ) huge, wealthy customer base.

Ahem. Please don't attribute Goldman's success to trading . Goldman Sachs recent "success" is largely due to them adroitly navigating the political waters of the bailout, without which i suspect they would be in serious trouble. As for mac

I have both ... just keep the laptop off your lap and get a desk -- laptops are horrible ergonomically.

Besides this incident, what other evidence do you present that Paypal is a massive scam? I've used paypal for 5 years and never had a problem. I'm sure things like this happen, but it has to be a negligible percentage of their volume.

Suggestion: turn off the ajax that auto-submits as soon as I "lift up" my pencil. Alot of symbols require more than one stroke. Instead just give me a "done" button.

As a game developer, I find myself clicking on a lot of game ads...both for fun and "research". Out of all of the game ads I've seen, Evony fr. Civony are the only ads out of all of the game ads i have ever seen that I haven't clicked on.

Its called a danger premium. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't object to being paid 400k as a programmer in the Green Zone in Iraq. Or maybe you would, depending on your appetite for risk.

I don't think it was a retrospective statement. I think he meant "these days" as opposed to days in the future, where Russia is less corrupt than it always has been. Saying this is political opinion is a straw man argument.
