I used to work with a guy who is now the CEO of one of those "we can make your app work on any platform" (...because we use Javascript/HTML/CSS etc) companies. They are making a very successful business out of selling this product to big, v

Very good idea. I'm starting to really see the meaning behind "all you need is an angle". I guess you can recycle virtually anything.

Nah, 7.1 is pretty big. Its especially big news when you consider the events of the last 30 days.

Your assuming he planned the kid, firstly. Each to their own I guess.

Lets say in 10 years he flips a company. The kid has college money, parents who are financially secure - and if the OP wanted, he could forget the office and spend what would be work-hours with his kid.

Wow thats insane. I get that people can hunt, but the GoDaddy hats, really?

No, its quite the opposite. It is clear what you should do - harvest all the attention you can get from this, but most certainly just combine them, or rename them as per Angry Birds/Rio/Seasons etc. Best of luck!

Its such a PR flop. The thing I can't understand is why they'd want to draw attention to the fact a very well read/watched/trusted program wrote a very poor review of your product. Why on earth would you give it a second life?

Best of luck to Ev. Very impressive, not only growing the businesses, but knowing when to leave at the right moment.

I'm absolutely in this boat at the moment, and I've covered a ton of ground. Lynda is great, railstutorial.org is fantastic as it covers pretty much all you need to know - testing, git, github, heroku etc. But I have to say, as others have

From my previous comment: Everyone whose on this "are we still talking about color" thing is starting to get on my nerves. Theres still LOTS of mileage in it - more write ups, VC opinions, yada yada. Its how the world works. They just raise

HackerNews, please tell me why you couldn't just create "PlaceBrowser", an app that shows you all geocoded photos on the INTERNET within 100ft of you? Pull the photos in from Flickr, Google. You don't get the initial "no content" problem, a
