So far this year I've made ~33k on my iPhone apps. I'm actively working on new apps and doing freelance work, and every once in awhile things need updated, but for the most part it's passive. I have > 20 apps at this point

That's good news. If they offer X processing for the same price and demand doubles that means revenue doubles. If they get 2x supply for current 1x price then they just made more profit. Just because computing gets cheaper doesn't

I was really glad to see states starting to do something about this, but this should really be changed at the federal level. It's less bad for you than alcohol and cigarettes. The war on it is just so costly and absurd on so many level

Psychologically it is not the same. One action requires you to get out a credit card and then later do more work to get a refund. One of theM is actually free. Not to mention that this only covers 1 of the 2 major platforms. No free demo re

Yes they do. Some people can get to front page at will. Now, whether that's good or not is a different discussion, but people trust their judgement so they get more weight.

A comment at the bottom of a 180+ comment thread is not sufficient. I'm always annoyed when I get to a comment thread that is talking about a different article than the one I clicked on. There needs to at least be an indication in the

How is this on page 3 with 344 points 4 hours in? Which moderator killed this? If this isn't news that people would want to know about I don't know what is.

Why wouldn't you care about it? If you are running a business, and the internet is talking about it (on a pretty popular site with lots of traffic), it seems that should be reasonably high on your list of things to care about. Would yo

you added an adjective to the term :-) Yes you can call them insolvent if you want to, but it doesn't mean anything if they can still pay their debts. If the number keeps going down it is certainly a problem, but if it heading back up

well, his duty is to the shareholders so having that as a priority sounds like a good thing to me. Yes treating your employees well is a good thing, and it's necessary for a successful business, but that doesn't mean you should ke

You seem to not understand how mergers and acquisitions work. There are generally large redundancies which is part of the reason for the deal. Get rid of payroll while maintaining the same total output. Also, a major reason for buying Nokia

Yeah presumably people doing kickstarters are at a minimum using an LLC, in which case if the project fails and the company goes bankrupt, nobody is getting anything from the dead entity.

I love reading about pinboard and it's success. it's the epitome of a business that does something small that solves a pain point and does it well. Now, it's not a huge pain point, so it's never going to be a billion dol

I really hope you aren't in the minority. I agree with you. I find it absurd that it's a crime for 2 dating teenagers to be "sexting". The worse part is when one is 18 and the other is 16 or 17 or something (depending on

So, I just downloaded the app, and I would love to know how you managed to get this app approved by Apple. In app subscription not using Apple's IAP? It seems to me this won't last long if you ever get a competent reviewer. Either

Did the article mention if the investors were the same as earlier projects or not? Not that it really matters, the fact that they successfully built a 50m startup is likely enough to get 200k from a lot of people.

Yeah I got the same feeling when I read it. The investment is clearly in the team and not the initial metrics. I just launched a fitness app about a month ago and every single metric I have is better than theirs, yet I'm not overly ple

I remember those days. Quitting was really exciting. I got more work done in the first few months after I quit than probably at any other time in my life. I'm on day 1100ish now and it doesn't come as easy, but it is still pretty
