Was it not a one off problem that was rectified: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kongregate.android... Also, in the blog's comments you were asking if Google will allow the distribution of another App Market to be distributed vi

Congratulations, irrespective of whether you sink or swim, this will change you from here on. I was in your shoes a bit over 2-years ago and still going at it, so, if I may, give you some pointers. 1. Before you leave your full time job, mo

If you are on Snow Leopard, it is imperative to install this one. NeoOffice and OpenOffice (Goo or otherwise) have struggled on Snow Leopard with either extreme sluggishness or an inability to reasonably render all documents with acceptable

If Steve had written the ending of the post as the beginning, it would have clearly conveyed what he was trying to say. The key factors involved in such a decision are: 1) Why 2) When I don't think it is a blanket vote for or against a rew

Without knowing the actual details of their financials, it is always going to be blind speculation. Also, 'viable' would mean different things in different contexts. I think it is certainly viable for the current investors to exit with a go

Consider this the iOS versus Android equivalent on the web. You can either take the app store approach to themes and plugins and police every bit of code uploaded to codex or it can be the Andoriod model where there is no proactive policing

I'm not exactly the greatest fan of Facebook or MSFT and I do lean a bit favourably towards Google, but the article is a good representation of what is wrong with reporting on Tech/Digital these days - so much of it is just absolute breathl

Abinash, What will qualify as a great company? Is the deciding factor that it does decent revenue or that it uses a pretty nifty technology stack or is it that it does decent revenue in which the technology stack is an enabler? Zimbra - Wel

Companies that outsource development. Indiatimes and Zimbra? NDTV and Tekriti? But, I had asked a question in the parent comment - can it be shown that any of the start ups who failed or the ones who have done well can do even better if the

There is really no blanket rule that will tell you whether it is good to code it all up by yourself or get it outsourced. Depends really on what is your shortest route to market at a reasonable cost. Trying to second-guess it from the outsi

Valuation is always a dicey territory to be in, especially when done by an investment bank. Their interests are not exactly in line with putting the actual picture out there. One of the companies I had worked for once had its valuation done

Very true, I was just wishing it was otherwise. Both are fine platforms and miles away from the horror show mobile devices used to be half-a-decade ago.

Hey, I am not setting any goalposts here. Also, using people-lining-up-at-stores as a metric is useful only as a measure of passion/lust you feel for the device/brand. Does not serve any other purpose, IMHO. I am an Android user with a Gala

Agreed on all points with the exception that Guber actually gets it more or less right on that one. Apple products do have a huge emotional appeal to it. The price for which is weirdly, both the cause and effect at the same time. Most peopl

The problem with 'social' search is that it reduces the universe of documents to what is known to the members on the platform. There is already data that is not crawled by most of the search engines, which itself is a problem. This only mak

By MG's usual standards the post can actually be called borderline reasonable. The trouble with getting a handle on the mobile phone market is that most analysts often pick up only the US market or the smart phone market and form their conc

Short answer: No Longer answer: What exactly is a 'blogging innovation'? Something that helps you run a better blog? I don't think Quora qualifies as that. I know a few people who are attempting to use the posts feature as a sort of blog, i

I think title for the post really needs to be backed up with numbers. There is a major difference between "developers I know/follow" "and most open source developers". I switched to a MBP in 2007 since I was due an upgrade on the giant Tosh

The entire concept of 'like' and 'share' via the open graph has been badly misread. What OG gives Facebook is the ability to classify and index (not sure if they are doing this) 'active' pages on the internet. Look at it as a cheaper and mo

Facebook is the big story of the decade, but I wish publications who do these puff pieces do a better job for covering the company. The quote below is enlightening: "This is a somewhat different Zuckerberg to the one the public knew just a

It also begs the question why don't comments regarding duplicates on duplicate submissions automatically get de-duped? The fun aside, it boils down a matter of ROI on effort. It is not trivial to detect duplication (save exact matches) on U

I have said this before somewhere, but Google as the new MSFT has the classic MSFT problem - die if you do, die if you don't. They are a cash machine, which, sitting idle in the bank will invite ire from investors. If they invest in somethi

There is no magic single variable for this, you have to use a mixture of different variables and projections to get it right. The ones you need to track wind up being a mix of the following: 1. Page views: Track overall growth 2. Page views

Agree on most of the points, will add a few more: 1. There seems to be a lot of confusion between the platform generating revenue (FB Credits) and revenue generated from being on the largest platform (using your Twitter/FB account to genera
