good point. You may get some benefit from other news sites picking up on a story covered by TechCrunch. However, in general, I'd say that unless your customer/user profile is the TechCrunch reader, TechCrunch posting schedules aren't going

That depends on your definition of "high-value" Hypothetically, an individual may consider a video to be high-value. Yet, if the video is pirated and if most people see the video without paying anything to the video-maker, the video-maker m

It is funny that the article says "The American Left knows how to import Europe’s failures" in talking about the high unemployment rate. I guess they think that Obama has been president for the past 9 years.

Has anyone tried to setup an affiliate program with Apple directly. That way, developers can get the 5% commission themselves and also track sales conversions (without going through a third party that pockets the 5% commission)

It looks like Apple did the right thing here. They stopped the app from using a term copyrighted by Nintendo. They also communicated the rejection reason to the developer clearly. Ultimately, this is probably going to be a win-win for both

Thanks for the clarification. There is a big difference between saying that one $50 app did well and saying that "Figures show that the top grossing apps were $50" As itunes stats show (today), in the top 100 grossing apps list, only three
