A site that analyses flight price fluctuations would be awsome. Currently all the online travel sites work on the assumption that your days are fixed and gives you the prices around that date. A site that would tell me the cheapest time of

The amount of time spent in front of a computer with an internet connection in a working day would be the key to success of such a site. It would probably have higher traction among, say, graphical designers than medical staff.

But how about ordering? At the end of the day, these votes determine which submission makes it to the front page. Allowing down voting but sorting by upvotes might be one solution.

Downvoting loses more information than "no downvoting". Think about a submission with 110 upvotes and 100 downvotes, it is overall rating is 10. A submission with only 15 upvotes has a rating of 15. Surely a submission which attracts 210 us

John Forsyth, a Symbian exec, was talking about how unsexy it is to support a manufacturuer when launching a phone. Maybe his words can provide some insight to those who jumped to bandwagon too early: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology

HTC, LG, Samsung and Motorola are members of other Linux alliances as well. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they will commit to a product. Productization needs a big investment and giant manufacturers take a bit of time to decide. HT

Android still has some way to go. Google was talking about delays to Q1 2009. After that they have to convince a manufacturer to produce an Android device; customization will surely take some time and it might not be as good as iPhone UIwis

You could be more creative when displaying multiple pages.How about tabs instead of putting one under another? Widgets and Firefox extensions spring into mind, given the concept. Useful app nonetheless.

Symbian C++ is a different beast. It is heavily design pattern oriented, so it is a good idea to ger comfortable with things like active objects,publish and subscribe, client-server, factory, singleton, etc, etc... Obviously, get the SDK, d

This surely does not apply to early stage startups. Outsourcing to Romania? How many starups outsource in Valley? And don't get me started about cost of living in the UK.

I came across two things: 1)Depending on the size of your swf, initial loading might take some time. 2)Not everybody has the latest player on their browsers. If your users are not tech literate. This might be an obstacle.

Longer flights within Europe are around 4 hours long(i.e from Glasgow to Antalya). I wouldn't really care if other passangers talk on their mobiles all the way as long as I can get data connectivity. But then again there are people who pref

Another item in the BOM is the last thing mobile manufacturers need. Why not use the camera instead? With some image recognition magic, you can come up with a working prototype.

The problem exists, at least for me. I even see it happening here. Someone posts a link to 5000 word blog entry and then posts a comment about whihc bits are interesting. This might be good improvement on signal to noise ratio. If they can

Isn't it a bit ironic that Lotus Notes is given as an example to good software? I haven't met someone who doesn't hate it.

Being in the alliance does not mean that they will do large volume phone production with Android. Samsung and Motorola are always keen on being Linux consortiums. What's their Linux phones' market share in Europe? I am not saying that Googl

That guy was not rejected because his idea was bad. The prototypes he brought with were of very low build quality. The investors had doubts about his abilities of running the bussiness rather than the idea itself. I don't think they made a
