While PG makes some good points it sounds a little bit like why to read Shakespeare instead of Poe. I happen to like both. Although I might add the list of N things does get abused more often. I think using Cosmopolitan as an example and/or

I usually have about 5 instances of Chrome open at a time with at least 10 tabs each. Usually it's pretty stable. I do think FF still has an edge in the stability department however.

Years of using ^C ^V have probably biased my opinion =) I might add that for me the #1 feature that I'm really addicted to is the address bar doubling as a search bar. It just feels right.

Might just be a personal preference but using the address bar to search is so much more intuitive.

BTW just to clarify: by all means integrate speech rec into your solution if you feel you get a real value proposition by doing so. For my product it wasn't really needed and was more of a distraction than anything else. However I learned s

Is that to say Mark Zuckerberg shouldn't have done a social networking site or Steve Jobs, Pixar..? In fact maybe anybody who has their bachelor degree in liberal arts shouldn't even dream of going to med school or being a lawyer. This lin

Appreciate that. I am already in the process of trying again. I think I also found an awesome developer to help out but I just directed him the wrong way. The problem was I didn't find a co-founder, a person that could share the business an

No problem at all fsniper.. I'm an eternal optimist so I don't suffer from having failed. It makes one feel alive actually. Economically I'm wounded but still alive and healing. Without being too specific I am 10s of thousands in debt becau

In essence we are in agreement. Better goal planning sure would have helped. It certainly may have kept me focused on my initial goal. The unfortunate reality was that I went wrong very early on in my thought process. The "cool" feature I w

Yeah I can testify to that. We tried on-device speech rec. The unfortunate barrier to entry for this technology is something called Acoustic Models which are basically normals data collected from voice sampling. The bigger and better your A

Thanks. I also think it’s important to hear about the failures since it really is all too often we hear about the next digg or facebook.. I just hope this article can be helpful to those who are doing their own startup so they can avoid the

Agreed. Development is not trivial all around. I think my original issue with iPhone dev was that POS NDA Apple had originally. It made the web a virtual wasteland for good info and advice on programming pitfalls and code snippets. Coming f
