I agree with everything you said, but you do have to be careful with this. There are many studies that suggest we tend to spend more using credit cards than we otherwise would. Up to 18%. Spending 18% to save 3% doesn't work. Just a note of

Well, my wife is an elementary school teacher, and I promise she doesn't spend 200 at BN without blinking. She does spend some money, but not tons.

Yeah I think a mod needs to change the title here. This title isn't the title from the page, and it doesn't come close to conveying the actual situation.

I personally think the linked page is more interesting than the full article (though it is also interesting). I liked the headers with tidbits about the relevant companies.

I don't know if it still downloads it to the computer as well, but I do know it does start downloading it on your device automatically.

That seems unlikely :-) But sure, for that day. Nobody measures market share for a day though, as it's not a useful metric.

I have some apps doing better on Android, and some that do better on iPhone. Overall, iPhone does much better, but Android is gaining. Sometimes there is a bit of luck involved, and sometimes, the competition in a certain niche is significa

Sure they will. It doesn't have to withstand drop from top of building. Just drop from pocket most of the time. A bit of plastic definitely cushions the blow. Otter Box seems to be one of the most popular that I see, and it is definitely ma

Nobody said perfect for everyone. It is however, very likely, better for more people than anything else. There are a few people with large hands that liked the original xbox controller. There are 0 people in the world who think it was th

you have to do it from iTunes, but you don't have to download to the computer or do any syncing. It works the same way as Android, just from the iTunes app instead of a web browser.

I didn't do anything different per se, but I did have a little bit of luck at launch. I generally send emails to some of the top bloggers to try to get reviews, and by virtue of it being good with a really nice looking design, I got 2 good

Well I'll be the guinea pig. Just gave it a shot with one of my apps that I was planning on doing a New Years resolution press release for (it's a debt tracker). I'll be sure to give an update of how it works out.

Why? Just because lots of people don't do it for their own personal reasons doesn't make it taboo. Lots and lots of people really like seeing these posts (as evidenced by this and patio11's post being at the top of HN all day) and they can

Or, it could be inspiring them, as it obviously is if you read through many of the comments here. They can say, hey, he went from making basically nothing a few years ago and now it's making a lot of money. This is possible if I work at it.

You're being awfully pedantic. Liberals in the United States generally identify with the Democratic party, and they generally favor more taxes and more government. Conservatives in this country generally identify with the Republican party,

That would be hypocritical but that's not what I did. Liberals and conservatives aren't ill defined at all, and its hardly a secret to say liberals are in favor of higher taxes. It's not even an insult. It's just a fact. It's a plank in the

You are making an awful lot of assumptions of the way we think and what we believe with absolutely no evidence to back it up other than this is what you think we think. Maybe you should look at the stats on charitable giving and come back t

It's a GPS tracking app for skiers (with running and biking skinned versions to come later). Sadly it's still in review with Microsoft, I was hoping it would get released by Christmas. Here are links to the Android and iOS versions: Ski Tra

I also just gave up my iPhone 5 for a week to test the HTC 8x I am using to dev with. I have been very pleasantly surprised with how much I like it. I'm sticking with the iPhone for now, but I really like wp8. I'd put it at a close second j

While true, all crime in the US has dropped significantly in the last 20 years. Many have suggested Roe v Wade had a big impact in this, but I'm not sure it's conclusive. From Freakanomics, the theory being that many would be kids in bad si

Just because people aren't shopping in the Windows/Microsoft store doesn't mean nobody is buying Windows 8. 40 million sales in a month is nothing to sneeze at. I haven't tried the tablet version yet, but I have it dual booting on my iMac a
