There's always a point where we all feel bored about a job - even if we love the job. I think the challenge is trying to find things that you love within your current job and it helps guide towards something you feel more passionate about.

I would love to hear more about your experience! I'm interesting in doing a startup in Canada but I'm not sure about the whole legal issues.

Thanks for the share and congratulations on your release! Like you, I also tried to create something simple for the iPhone and released it not too long ago. It definitely feels really satisfying to get it out there. I guess the challenge is

This game is pretty insane. I never got the hang of it when I was growing up but the part about not letting the ball drop has definitely helped me sharpen my skills in other sports. And personally, I think it also focuses your mind and trai

Just wanted to say thank you so very much! I'm just getting started on trying to build an iOS/Mac application system and while it's fairly straightforward to build it, the design of the user interface is what gets me. Going from ok to 'wow'

Yes, a lot of people love the rags to riches story and it makes for good entertainment value. But really the key is your mind and determination to succeed .. and perhaps a greater purpose other than yourself.

Definitely don't go the route of quitting especially if you have children and a family to support. Personally for me, what I did was talk about my idea with a cousin of mine. He got really interested in it and now we're working together on

Great idea guys! Just curious, what happens when someone finally picks up and hears nothing? Is there a possibility that the other line will hang up before you have a chance to call us?

A desperate attempt to get him out definitely. Cannot believe their trying to pin a man who's done more for the country than the government ever will as a villain. I guess I better believe now?

From an economics standpoint and a personal opinion, I don't think there is any future value for Bitcoin (or any digital or virtual currency). From what I've been told, there is a finite amount in Bitcoin which means there is a limit on how

How did you manage to set yourself up with a consultancy gig?

I think it's awesome that you're trying to find something for your mom. I am in a similar position so I'm curious on the ideas that users here can come up with. Whatever she does, she should definitely do something she enjoys.

I agree that that's broken too. But this is not about uploading to the device. It's about uploading to the store and they said it's Free. Also required were W9 documentation and taxation numbers.

Registration for the developer account to upload free, open-source applications somehow required me to have a Paypal account and a transaction of 0 charged to me.

Thanks! Sounds like a good strategy. I've never really understood the nature of consulting though. Seems like there's much to learn for me but how do you get to consult for someone? Again, I guess customer acquisition seems to be the key th

Regarding number 1, where would you get the facts or validation to prove that it has at least a billion dollar potential? A lot of times, I see people with business plans projecting all kinds of things but I'm darn confused at how they can

Thanks for the quick reply! Is there some way to validate what these businesses are searching for? Also, did you think of making the product and then go out to find the businesses or did you identify some inefficiency that these businesses

It's a fantastic idea! I'm curious at how the support will work though? It seems like you'll have to get the support people to learn the inside and outside of multiple systems?

Agree with the simple. Few of the examples shown above seemed really complicated. It's great to measure your success but does it have to be packed with so many features? I'm not sure.

They seem like decent enough projects for fun. But anything long term might be slightly tricky. I particularly liked memify.me and it seems like it could catch on. leftright, as someone had pointed out, seems similar to what's been done. An

While I don't have much experience with launching anything, it sounds like the projects that you're building aren't exactly useful to the people around you. If you don't mind me asking, what are these little projects? You might want to try

Great job and good luck to you! I'm also a single founder but don't have the courage to leave my job just yet (nor the financial means either) so I'll definitely watch out for your progress.

As a single founder attempting to bootstrap, would love that!

Thanks! You learn something new from Hacker News everyday. Never thought it'd be such a long regex for emails though. I just got really confused trying to parse that in my head.

I'm not sure what the value added is. It seems like it's a social calendar yet there's a note saying you don't have to share it if you don't want to so I'm confused.

I personally don't think that web email is targeted at teens. And since it's mentioned web email - does this mean email apps in smartphones and corporate email aren't included? I just love how the media is always trying to say something is

I found my first job through a job fair - but I had several internships before that. Small projects are great to show that you have interest in programming by default. It will definitely be worth something. But I reckon my internships helpe
