   Well, it is easy if you invest the time into learning it. Not absolutely easy, but relative to any day job, the return on investment ( time spent learning ) is exponentially higher than any wage.

   The question is how do you get there (and stay there) legally and affordably.

   I think you know (and we all know) that that's impossible by now.

   You could try building out an online lifestyle-type business, like selling apps or some affiliate marketing stuff. That would give you enough passive income for you do whatever you wanted with your time.

   Thanks for replying. BTW, how do you get a good signup rate for your email list via the app? Do you load a prompt up after X amount of hours/app loads?

   Looks great, was it built with any engines like Cocos2D? What email list did you use? How many downloads is it getting now? Why did you decide to go with a 99c price point when you could have gone freemium, give away a few levels and do a 9

   For the record, and this is just a matter of semantics and word play, but some people use the titles "idea guy" and "product guy" interchangeably. Some very good product visionary types even label themselves "idea guy".

    I think this is a neat experiment and should help to answer the question as to whether or not entrepreneurs are "made" or "born". Personally I think most things in life can be learned, entrepreneurship included.

    You're right about apps improving their design, but it should be noted that game design for kids is kinda tricky. For example, what if in that math app, the player had "X" amount of lives, and every wrong answer cost a life? It might solve

    Anyone who knows anything about the way mobile phone distribution works will know that this doesn't matter. Android will capture at least 50% of the mobile market in the coming years, but Apple and the iPhone will capture the majority of th

    Sort of, government services are usually impossible to survive without. Apple however, can still miss out on sales by having a downed website.

    I'm not a lawyer, but this is practically impossible without funding. Also, it matters what country you're from, so you should mention that.

    I think it would be clearer if you had a little diagram or graphic about how the process works. Ie. Person A uses Color to "store" content. Person B accesses content by doing X. Person B receives content. Person A receives a Like/FB Post/Tw

    Well, I didn't see/hear anything about what they were firing, so I assumed they were dumb bombs or shells. Those launches look pretty violent, could a piece a with rocketry or electronic guiding systems survive a blast like that?

    One of the reasons I never bought a license was the cost. I followed a Unity course over two months and wanted to develop mobile games. I had the skill to, but committing $400 to something I'd never really done before was insane. The Apple

    I'm happy with my 2011 Air (4gb ram, 128 SSD). I'm purchasing a thunderbolt display adapter to try and use dual screen. You can get a 3 way adapter (dvi, hdmi, display port?) from dealextreme.com for really cheap. Although I only do iOS dev

    When you first release, you get a boost of exposure by being on the new releases list. Now that your off, you need to find a way of either being visible on the app store or getting attention outside of it. Both are very hard, million dollar

    Given that the postal workers seem to not have a clue about the proper protocol anyway, this is a gamble based on social engineering. You're betting that the postal workers don't know or care enough to go against the book, and you're probab

    I'm fairly certain (but not absolutely certain) that there may be something in the Terms of Service about this. Otherwise many services could simply sell subscriptions or goods through a web interface and totally avoid any payment to Apple.

    Beautifully visuals, but unfortunately very very rough UX. Sooo much text and moving graphics on the page, my eyes don't know where to focus.

    Also, if a regular workout isn't mentally stimulating enough for you, do something more technically challenging: ie. rockclimbing, martial arts, crossfit, etc.
