   Mostly the Sistine Chapel - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel_ceiling , but also a few other art pieces as well. One guy, did that, in 4 years ?! Makes me want to work harder/smarter to do something amazing too.

   Have you thought about contacting one of those "premier ad networks"? This would seem perfect for your app, where once in a while an advertisement is growled with a click hook to go to a URL. Twitterific does this too with The Deck. Chec

   An unexpected cost for me would definitely be CA franchise tax ($800/year) and registered agent fee (~$100/year).

    For me, it's b/c of the bad experiences I had with it. Packages never compiled correctly, I always got error messages which I'd google around for. It would take over an hour to finally install MySQL, Subversion, SQLite3, etc... I must be

    My mistake, I thought these passwords came straight from the databases.

    Have you heard about e-junkie? I've only been on the customer side, but I see it a lot when buying ebooks. Plus they've got an affiliate system baked in.

    Unfortunately, one of the downsides of CA is the $800 annual franchise tax =[. Can't get around it even if you incorporate somewhere else. Good news is, if you're an Inc you can waive the first year. LLCs can't though.

    I actually prefer mac programs to be distributed as .zip files. Safari auto unzips it, and I just double click to try it out. If I like it, drag & drop to the /Applications folder. But even though I prefer .zip, I don't find .dmg file

    Hopefully, most companies would give you some time to transition off of their services or to at least export your data off of their servers. What sucks is when they close unexpectedly, don't let you export your data, or even worse pretend t

    I rolled my own with Django, which I kind of regret now. A blog is really about the content (in this case, news about your product) and not the technology you use. If you're going to host your own, I'd recommend WordPress. If you don't mi

    That's pretty amazing. It's like Interface Builder but for Cappuccino ... and as a web app. I can't believe how awesome these guys are, I hope Apple acquires them and starts using their technology for MobileMe + iWork.
