Carreon has certainly been owned by The Oatmeal's lawyer. For those that didn't read it, I believe the answer from The Oatmeal in his blog is absolutely hilarious: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/funnyjunk_letter

About the tip #6, 6. If you are not educated, find someone who is : I would rather find a partner that has experience in the field, that is, someone that has tried (successfully or not) to set a startup going off the ground. That type of e

Simple but pretty powerful, thanks! Definitely not that easy for people with full-time jobs, when you factor in the commute, the lunch break, etc, plus a bit of time for socializing and such. For those working for themselves, this is a grea

I'm glad this works for this product. However, I'd argue it is generally not applicable. Say you launch a free application (perhaps monetized by a supporting PRO version, in-app purchases, or ads) that gets a few thousand downloads per day.

To me, the opposite question is the hard one. Since I've started using a tool to plan my activities in a weekly, and also in a daily, basis, I've seen my productivity boost. I have separate task lists for my day job, my side projects, and a

I find it courageous to write a web app that competes in such a crowded market such as task management. I'm not saying it's impossible to find a spot there, but it's certainly difficult. In order for hesitant users to start using it, perhap

I hope they'll eventually do this too. They have this *Data Liberation Front" ( http://www.dataliberation.org/ ), from where you can already download some data in simple zip files.

My first thought was "cool, I certainly have to use this", and switched to something else. I just came back and started to perform a backup. I think you should, too. This is insurance. For the author: the link from the "Learn More" is broke

Here's the super basic tool/script I wrote for it: http://pablop.github.com/trello-weekly-report/ I'm planning to improve this over time, purely as an exercise to get more fluent in Python and Git. This was actually a good excuse to get s

A piece of (semi off-topic) advice for those indie developers that want to publish their apps in alternative Android markets: get a VA to do it for you. It's a great way to get started into outsourcing, given that the task is so straightfor

Very helpful advice there. Here's the GTD approach I've been following lately, which I'm very happy about. It's based in the tool Trello. I have several boards (for personal stuff, for my main side-project, for work, for another project, an

I don't think we'll get rid of this any time soon. This is rolled out only for a subset of the users [1], and I guess it provides Google with valuable analytics data. [1] As I can read in several articles in the internet, but can't find an

Try changing the weather in your city to "Heavy Snow". Wait 45 minutes and you'll see the difference.

Congrats, Tommy. If you don't mind me asking, what CPM do you get from the ads? Which are the ones that work the most, the horizontal visual banner on top, the textual ones in the right, or the squared image in the bottom? I'm quite surpris

As tashmahalic explains in another comment, they use UDP hole punching ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDP_hole_punching ) for the transfer, which the receiving side must understand. It is indeed a bummer to have to download an installer whe

I'd say most of the people don't care about those. (Even if we do in HN.) So, yes, WireOver guys should put some more information, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker anyway.

I just set one more goal in my life: build a product that's so good that people ask me to charge for it.

The key for a successful negotiation is to have leverage. In this particular case, it looks as if the founder of this startup needed the acquisition to happen. Otherwise, when The Company refused the official term sheet, or when they notice

At first sight, this looks like a joke. Specially the Kissenger. However, as the article says, "What if the robot simply used AI to return your kiss?", or "talk with your in-game wife who is back home". Creepy. But also game changer. These

It's better to do things the wrong way rather than not doing them at all. Jump into it. If whatever you build is successful (under whatever metrics that may apply), you can always consider some refactoring once you know better.
