Thanks for the comments. Personally I like the yellow but can understand that it may be too much for some people. Do you think its primarily just the large yellow area on the homepage, or that the yellow regions on the other pages are probl

I just checked out the site and the copy that jumped out at me that needs revision is the sentence: "all with one clean, zippy software" Perhaps you could revise the copy to: "Recruiterbox is a no-nonsense recruitment tool. Publish jobs, sc

I did a "Rate my Startup" post for my startup ( http://www.happybuy.com/ ) a little while back that didn't get much traction: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1780988 Would be great if you had any feedback on the site you could provide

Rightly or wrongly, I think the truth is probably closer to: "Apple wants to force Adobe Flash into the Trash"

Interesting idea - in a similar space to my startup http://www.happybuy.com/ It may be good if the site was able to, based upon the metadata and extraction from the product description, show the relative differences in the specs of the pr

Key quote from the article: "Kaye cautions not to confuse wealth with income. Some people can make a million a year, but be spending a million and a half. They are not rich, said Kaye."

Apple didn't pay Adobe or Microsoft to port any of their apps from PowerPC to x86, and yet it happened. So I don't see why they would pay them to port from x86 to ARM. They'd either port and retain a large part of their market, or don't and

By not providing a version of their most recent processor that provides compatibility with OpenCL at a cost, performance and thermal heat envelope that would enable Apple to produce a notebook as thin and small as the Macbook Air. The new M

Yes, I agree to an extent. However if Intel weren't the only viable supplier then the handling of Nvidia and OpenCL compatibility issues wouldn't be as problematic for Apple as they are as they'd have an option to go to another supplier. Th

Apple has already licensed Imagination Technologies PowerVR graphics cores (both this and next generation) and hold a large portion of their stock ( http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLQ64592720090626 ). Moving Macs to ARM means they can us

As I wrote in a similar thread I think Intel and x86 is already dead - the writing is on the wall - Intel just doesn't know it yet. Below is how I believe a key customer has already planned to leave the x86 architecture as nothing but a fo

Currently Apple relies on Intel for a major component in a key product. Strategically, Apple doesn't like to have to rely on a single source or supplier for key products. Apple will do whatever is possible to remove this reliance. Hence a p

In your example, does the call: $worker = new DJWorker($options); $worker->start(); Actually: 1. block until all jobs stored in the database have been completed 2. simply run a single job and return 3. return immediately and run all the

My startup tracks pricing on iOS Apps (among other products) and its fascinating seeing how much pricing volatility occurs. For instance, we've found that that Apps generally fit into two camps: those that change their pricing consistently;

Thanks for the feedback. I'll need to look into improving the search relevancy. Sometimes if you filter to a specific store or department you'll get more relevant results - but I understand this isn't completely obvious at the moment.

Yes I agree. I've found that the reddit system has a lot better chance of bubbling up interesting articles irrespective of who submitted it. Unfortunately, from my experience, HN has become a bit of an echo chamber in the sense that certain

I'd say the barrier to entry for other startups would be the awareness and userbase that Tapzilla may manage to develop. For instance if Tapzilla can say to a developer that they have 20,000 users with an average 20% redemption rate then Ta

Interesting idea to get some visibility for app developers. Although for the app purchaser I think you may get some reluctance as they first have to pay for the app (using an iTunes account) and then get the refund through a different mecha

I think there is a market position for this service. If you are currently a non-savvy blogger, then the current feedburner homepage: http://feedburner.google.com/ is practically indecipherable and unlikely to result in a lot of conversion

I've found a good technique to use - if you don't feel you are able to make the 'one' big decision (e.g. quit your job and work full-time on your startup) - is to make sure that every day you do something that moves you closer to your prima
