Since when is paying yourself and your employees not an expense that factors into whether or not you are profitable?

I've been in the android market for a year and have done over $100k in sales of my games, and you hit the nail on the head. Create lots of games, and not just for the money. You have to be having fun while creating or it becomes a miserable

Please elaborate. If you aren't making enough money to cover your expenses, and you have no cash on hand, how are you still in business?

Uhg. Had to roll back to 3.6 The new one looks great and seems to run fast, but my most important add-ons weren't supported. I hate being held back by my add-ons, but I have no choice.

I totally disagree. I think he's directly blaming himself. He's NOT blaming the B and C developers for doing a bad job. They did a B and C job. He's blaming HIMSELF for hiring less than the very best.

I haven't interviewed for a LONG time, and I'm not sure what recruiting is because I'm quite disconnected with big business practices, but I do believe Interviewing is just Selling yourself), so on a completely arbitrary and imaginary scale

Ha! Me too, in fact I've clicked it 3 different times today because each time I wondered why I haven't read about different phone screens yet - then slap my forehead. Apparently I really want to know about the quality of various phone scree

Yeah, I used to have a similar mindset before starting my (big) family. I can understand what he's saying (though very arrogantly) but I hope he's open to changing his mind someday, just in case. He mentioned he likes having a hassle free

Your analogy lost me ;) but I too didn't understand the twitter comparison. I sometimes feel like the TC folks live, eat, sleep, breathe, and shit twitter all day long, and their perspective is much different. Maybe for them it is the sour

This prompted me to sign-up for Groupon for the first time today. I laughed because it appears to be like Bits Du Jour ( http://www.bitsdujour.com/ ) for everything - not just shareware deals. Bits Du Jour has been around for a LONG time -

I just see it as another gaming console. Whenever I think about buying one, this is why it comes to mind. I think it would be fun to play games on. I really don't see the harm in marketing it as a game console. MS has XBox, Apple has iPad

My kids all have 8GB iPods, no music or videos, just games, and they are starting to have to delete games now because they are running out of space. Some of these games are getting huge.

I bought the ImpactJS engine, and I'm currently working on Android to run sounds through SoundPool while everything else happens in an embedded browser. Not much luck yet, but I think I can get there.

There is some truth to this, but it isn't that simple. I was the only game of my genre for months and I made pretty good money. Then competitors started to flow in. Several of them. Each one gets better and better. However, I've maintain

1) Learn from the examples. 2) Launch an app in a week or two. 3) Profit. To each their own I guess.

I had trouble with the multi-touch on my android, so the demo game didn't really work, but it does seem to work, yes, sorry about that. I see what you mean about sounds. I just went and tried some of the HTML 5 games I like on my iPhone an

Will Impact work in Android? And will it be able to play sounds and music soon? These are the only 2 reasons I haven't purchased yet, but it looks great.

Why $2.99? Have you tried other price points?

I've always wondered how they chose their featured apps. Any more insight?

Smartest post on this entire thread. They clearly analyze the APK before uploading and look at the Manifest, etc, so why not do a rootkit scan of some kind.

He may be referring to more payment options - like PayPal. I get emails all the time from people asking if they can pay with PayPal. EDIT: And until you've sold apps in the Android Market, you don't know the pain that is the infamous RED "

I find this interesting because I have never done a Google search that led me to a Mahalo site. I don't even recall seeing them come up in a search result for anything honestly. Having heard about Mahalo through Podcasts and such, I have b

It turns out the pricing for this full service product isn't directly under the "Pricing" button at the top, but under the Pricing button under the prices on the Pricing page. So, the prices for the full service product definitely seem a lo

Really? I'm an asshole. That's absurd. I'm saying that he did something wrong and he's paying for it. Do you disagree? Do you think they should just let this slide? He didn't follow their TOS, so they should just say "whatever" and let
