How much money do you think Google should make to be profitable with Android? Let's say it costs them $50m a year. Google could make that money of the 10% of the Android user base. Looking at your comments, it smacks of elitism. (i.e. lots

In 3rd world countries like the Philippines, carriers are making gigantic profits off the backs of poor people. But it's all about the money eh? I see it more as a life-changing device. SMS was made a lot of difference in the lives of poor

Actually you are the one with the narrow view of the market. Look beyond your young cousins. The rest of the world are using Android devices not Apple. Android phones has 80+% market share in a number of countries in Europe. Worldwide, Andr

Don't read into it much. Google announces its daily Android activations regularly and it has the largest smartphone share in the world. Facebook does that too. http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/23/facebook-announces-monthly-... Remember when

It sucks there's nothing scheduled. I'm in town until Tuesday, visiting from SF. It would have been nice to meet other HNers in DC.

When I was working in SF, people take off half a day to receive a package. Let's say an engineer's hourly value is $100, even a $10 fee is nothing.

Praise before it launched? Can you mention what they praised about Color? I live in Silicon Valley and plugged in to the startup community. I don't know anybody who praised Color. Their app on both Android and iOS was horrible.

Praises? Color was vilified in the Valley because of their excessive funding. Care to show proof of people praising Color?

Google didn't buy Orkut. It was developed as a 20% project. You can call it a reaction to Facebook, etc all you want but that doesn't disprove the author's statement. Social signaling was never included in search results until Google+ came

This would only work for the public timeline. Most people would want to view their own timeline and that would be hard to since you'll have to create a browser instance for every user you have.

Can anybody confirm if the 16GB was ever available? I see 8GB available but not 16GB.

Downvoted. I can't tolerate comments like this on HN. Your comment has been ruined by the first paragraph.

So are you saying despite that, Apple doesn't care about its competition?

Maybe it's just me but I feel that since Arrington & MG stopped writing, the rhetoric in the startup blogging space has toned down. While some of my favorite tech posts was written by Arrington and MG, I'm not too excited for their retu

So I decided to build this because I want to find the best way of doing things on Android. I'm an independent developer and learned Android on my own. I can get most things done but I'm not sure if it's the best way to do things. There has

Nice. Use ActionBarSherlock to make the UI compatible to older versions. Really use to use. I'm about to launch a site for Android developers. It might be useful to you. Hit me up if you're interested.
