Could they just be creating a "Game Center" for Android?

Agreed. All my boys were playing chess at 5. However, they have no desire to create a variation. Their #1 goal is to beat Dad.

Maybe. Adding a simple shallow groove in front of the gap may be all that's needed to catch the roll-away items.

The website has to be served via DropBox too then, correct? So, DropBox is the web host too for the static site?

Calling this a short book is a major understatement. The beauty of it is that it's one of the most to-the-point business and motivation books you'll ever read. Read it several years ago in an evening when he had that silly reality show on

Add "waches" for all instances? There appears to be a misspelling in the main screen shot of the app - maybe the app itself, I'm not sure.

We must have to assume the developers registered the domain for the client and it was in their name and the client had no way of actually proving that the domain belonged to them - probably because it was an obscure name, and not the name o

I had the same problem. It was hard to continue reading when I was "stuck" back in the "hijack" paragraph. All I can figure is that the consultants were the ones who purchased the domain and it was in their name. They built and hosted the

It is redundant to a degree, but there are varying layers of redundancy. In this case, it looks like most users of AWS are in need of more geographic redundancy, but in terms of localized data redundancy (term?), it appears AWS is a pretty

I think you're drastically underestimating the cost of a crash and the need for a good backup. If you go down, how many customers may you lose for life? What do you tell those users if you happen to lose some of their scheduled tweets? How

I'm not sure why you are using prgmr over Linode, Slicehost, or the Rackspace Cloud servers. The others have really simple backup tools.

I see this as a remarkable answer to the problem of needing to view a cached version of the website. For example, what if a URL were posted to Hacker News, but after the URL was a ?hasifyme=THEHASH, where THEHASH was the Hash of the website

The question is, how much would you LOSE by working for another company? Freedom, your soul, etc. For some of us, working for a company is simply not an option. I've never understood how so many think it is LESS risky working for large co

I think the point of this post is that it should be as easy dropping some code into your website to enable subscription payments. So, how did you do all this in 4 hours?: 1) Accept secure recurring transactions. 2) Get PCI compliant 3) Moni

What's interesting here is that the Amazon TOS says that you have to have all your apps in their store - so now that you've been rejected, are you breaking your agreement with them by still having it in the Android Market?
