I actually see this rather as evidence of a strong corporate culture which recognizes the need for execs to take responsibility for mistakes, as the chapter from the Lashinsky book on Apple management famously quoted about the rubric being

Saw a good roundup of the MBaaS providers, here: http://apievangelist.com/2012/08/22/mobile-backend-as-a-serv... We use Parse for some apps and roll our own Rails backend too. Of all the MPaaS providers we've investigate, Parse seems to b

I really like this take on asynchronous gameplay UI, it's tough get the "glance" aspect of the UI correct and yet make it compelling. The "Draw Something" problem where you're drowning in partially played games perhaps led to it's demise, a

pg, do you have a quantified list of hardware startup business models that you can share? For example, as a startup, what are the realistic sales & distribution channels that we can model, financially? What we're worried about is design

Dear Apple, thanks for keeping the same display dimensions as the iPad -- I was actually starting to sweat about the prospect of having to do more AutoLayout work!

Nivi, great idea -- thanks! The fine print says WSGR will help (for free?) if the startup is "qualified," what can you tell us about their qualification process?

Good story, thanks for sharing. Would you mind telling us how your IAP is working out for Groups: did anyone buy the "I really love your app!" option at $9.99 -- cool idea, btw.

I'm curious about what you think is still a viable way to compete with GoPro: is it only on price, or are there some missing features that a potential competitor exploit -- the UI/UX you mention? If RED comes out with a water-proof camera I

You're doing good stuff, although sometimes we have trouble keeping up with the demands from developers; any thoughts on adding "monetization" links? (Guess we could do this in our GitHub readme too...) By the way, how are you determining l

Liked your idea and will follow your developments on GitHub with an eye towards how you're going to integrate a CoreData client-side library. Besides the front-end issues you highlight, a key challenge will be synchronization: unless you do

Agree with the focus on quality of communication, but is the issue here self-inflicted? Is Everyme trying to solve a problem created because too many of us "friended" their co-workers?

Don't want to discourage you guys, but coming from an EDA background myself, you didn't answer the question: > What's the advantage over gEDA, gHDL or similar? I think your answer is, "we're focused on design & community." But I won

FWIW, the iOS5 based Storyboard has been helpful to get around some of the issues you mentioned; we just finished an app, granted with a very limited number of screens, but Storyboard was a time save for sure. Details, here: http://blog.fi
