I've developed apps for iPhone, Android, and WP7. While I use and prefer iPhone myself, I find WP7 to be vastly superior to the Android devices I've used. I'd recommend iPhone to people asking me, but for the people who just don't like Appl

while i agree, in most cases I personally believe the monetization should start at the beginning. If it's going to be ad supported, adding that later will annoy users for example. Some of the other things you mentioned I don't think would h

I'm not sure I'm your target market as I'm not much for photo sharing type stuff. That being said I think the app looks great and was pretty interesting for the brief time I browsed it. I'm just a bit annoyed at all the, "We'll get a few mi

I'm fine with calling instagram type stuff a bubble, but evernote actually makes money. they sell a product and people buy it. quite a few people actually. I don't have the exact numbers, but i'd like to before calling this absurd. this art

Sell to facebook for a billion dollars? Seriously, do you have any plans of how to make money? The server costs on this could get really high if it actually becomes popular. Then you have a hugely successful app that is actively losing you

we've tried utopian societies before. they have never worked. we've tried socialism and it mostly doesn't work that well. communism looks great on paper and it has been a failure. why do people still continue to believe this is the way thin

to your point, the problem isn't so much pointing out small design errors, but it's being a dick when pointing out small design errors. the design may not be pixel perfect but it basically prints money with no effort. it doesn't suck when i

I'm sorry but this is BS. You don't deserve food/shelter/healthcare/education etc. You only deserve what you go out of your cave, kill, and bring back home. Food, shelter, healthcare, and education are all things that require someone else t

Yeah we are using Dropbox as syncing / backup in our iOS and Mac budgeting apps currently. To his(Houston's) point, you set it up and then if you throw your phone in the river it doesn't matter. Go get a new phone and you have all of your d

You are trying to use something not designed for touch and suggesting they suck at touch. Have you tried a windows phone 7? I am a mobile dev who has worked on wp7, android, and iPhone. I personally use an iPhone, but I found wp7 to be much

You seem to be against them doing any work though. That is part of learning how to survive in this world. Look at OWS. They must have all had "great" parents who let them be kids. They still are.

The point is that it wasn't just us borrowing more money. We did that for 12 years with no real success. The war brought huge amounts of demand for our goods from all over the world.

Apple isn't selling at a premium though. It has a pe of < 12 when you take out the cash. I agree that things go down when expectations aren't met, the thing is the expectations don't make any sense at all. Apple is the only company in t

What cash flow? They have 300ish users of a free product. Surely that isn't a huge revenue stream. I suspect it is just living relatively cheap.

You could buy one on eBay unlocked for around that much, or breaking contract with ATT is only 325. 75 isn't much difference.

It's sad that Wave is considered a failure. My friends and I use it everyday and find it to be a huge improvement to email in many instances.

Why on earth should making money not be the goal of a business? You'll find that to make a successful long term business quality is key. Just because there are crappy apps out there doesn't mean those are the ones making money.

Many people strongly believe that Facebook will IPO at 100 billion or more. Valuing it at 70 based on the most recent large transaction seems perfectly reasonable to me. I don't think it makes sense for it to be valued that highly, but that

Yeah I believe we do. I started out as a project to improve my life, as I wasn't satisfied with any of the budgeting software I'd used myself. I made an iOS app called Ez Budget and it has worked great for my wife and I. Currently working o
