Can you elaborate a little on how this is different from Photoshop or Lightroom?

Couldn't you argue art is pretty much a hobby for all participants except the 1% in each field that makes a living from it?

That's insane. He does flip tricks that I still don't see current pro skaters doing some 20 years later.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. You're absolutely correct that OP misinterpreted that.

Actually, I appreciate the way he candidly writes things like that. I get that you're pointing out the moral implications of doing other people's school work, but that'd be another essay all its own. In this context, it'

I think you addressed your own question there. The answer is essentially, "I enjoy doing this, but I would never want to do this as a full-time job." I think deep down you realize it's a hobby that you enjoy in your free tim

It seems like you need a business co-founder, and on a positive note, it's relatively "easier" to find a business co-founder than a technical co-founder. Good luck.

I don't always agree with Mark Cuban, but I think he makes a good point on this when he talks about the folly in the adage, "follow your passions." His point is that you should follow your efforts as that leads you to be bett

It's almost a requirement in a criminal defense case to have an alternative culprit, just the same way that it's almost required to have a motive and a weapon in a homicide case. The defense needs to raise a reasonable doubt that

Yeah, I agree with you, this app isn't going to change the world. However, I think he's taking the right approach. He's at a point where he's earned his right/freedom to work on what he wants. If he so happens to f

Sorry for my naiveté but why does someone like Kevin Rose raise money at this point? Surely, he's cashed out enough that he could fund these sorts of projects on his own, at least at the seed stage. I would assume he has enough connect

One of his recently released apps is definitely for watch aficionados. High-end watches are a new interest/hobby that he picked up after he inherited a Rolex from his father. It's something that he enjoys and pursues with a passio

Not that this is the case here, but crisis PR firms would love the publicity from an event like this and many would be willing to take this on pro bono. If you think about it, this is a really easy case for the PR firm that brings huge amou

Eh, I just returned from Jamaica with a bag of coffee and declared it on my customs form. The agent just waived me through.

I find this ironic. When I used Hailo in Boston, it actually only integrated with taxis then moved to private drives. Uber on the other hand, contrary to what you're saying, started with only black cars then shifted to include taxis, a

I keep hearing this argument that the barrier to entry is so low for an Uber competitor, but I think people massively underestimate the difficulty of successfully running a system like Uber. Here in Boston where Uber has wide adoption, I ju

That's awesome, congrats. How did you create your sales path? Did you use another model. Also, do you still work a salaried job? I assume this is your main source of income.

Reading that document a few years ago lead to an epiphany for me in realizing that there may actually be value in some of the BSing you're forced to do in school. I think human nature leads people to seek deeper meaning and explanation

10k hours playing basketball isn't going to make you a professional basketball player, but I would imagine 10k hours painting, writing, or doing many other professional endeavors will certainly help you to earn a livable wage if not ex

Advertising has a large spectrum and what you're describing is product placement which has been around as long as advertising has existed. Whether it's placement in a movie, a well crafted article, or a celebrity endorsement. Even
