yes, the new LinkedIn app on the iPad is gorgeous, performs really well and apparently is mostly made out of HTML5. They use local storage to cache data, FB app does not do that. http://engineering.linkedin.com/mobile/linkedin-ipad-using-l

I think the SunSpider benchmark I ran clearly showed it, no Nitro in UIWebView

yep, that's the issue. with all technology you have to balance the pros and cons for the user and developer. Path took 100 % the user as focus point, Facebook a bit more the developer

sure it does, so what is your point? Native apps still rule mobile, so MS makes a smart move by allowing javascript in native apps. This way they lower the barrier for web developers to start with native development. And yes I would also at

not one won, Viddy is also busy raising another round ( http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/26/viddy-is-raising-30m-at-a-3... ). Both of them seem to skyrocket. Photo sharing is a done deal after the Instagram acquisition. Seems like all eyes are

breaking up with your cofounder is for sure in the top 3 of reasons why startups fail. How to make sure you are an awesome team is hard, and it seemed you guys nailed it. Great post! ps. so when are those $150 trips to Hawaii available?

besides the default theme and the high contrast theme, all others are useless and look like the work of a 5 year old. Design has a function, namely to make things clear and give the user a good experience.

as I have tried to start a business building on top of API's, this is in general a risky business. Not only can they disappear, but also work incorrectly, go down, change overnight without notification. Also your access can be shut down jus

No, my money is on Microsoft buying RIM/Blackberry. Those guys are gone in 3 months. After that acquisition Nokia will not be possible anymore because of anti-competition regulations.
