I used to develop .Net applications and I love that platform. MSDN is awesome and Visual Studio is hands down the best IDE. I know at least two startups that participated in BizSpark and they get lots of free goodies from MSFT.

If you don't mind, would you mind sharing you experience in more detail? Did you try to engage any designer on Dribble to get their design and problem solving thoughts?

Some of the points mentioned in this article are good. Additionally, I believe designer's role is not just limited to "design" but to become the most important cog in the product development lifecycle. I personally believe designers should

Exactly. And such job postings also create negative effect. I'm a designer/engineer hybrid and some of my designer friends cringe when they see "we want unicorn designer who can manage everything" postings. Because: 1.It shows founding team

I searched for "NFC Task", I guess I had forgotten "launcher". I searched once again with same term and it doesn't return your app. It returns totally unrelated apps and only one related to NFC. And now I searched for "NFC Task Launcher", i

On a side note, I was reading that article from Android phone and immediately searched for their app. Surprisingly, Google Market/Play didn't return any results. Is search broken on Market/Play (especially when accessed from phone/tablet)?

I should have mentioned, compared to resolving whether content is religiously offensive or not copyright violations are easier to deal with. And with digital signatures it can be detected by algorithms too. But your point is valid too.

Interesting. Unfortunately, its even more harmful than DMCA. Resolving copyright violations is really easy. However, if I praise Richard Dawnkins in my blog and some religious retard finds that offensive then it should be taken down because
