From what I read, "rails doesn't scale" is really a misnomer, because there are number of things that can be done to scale rails. I think Haiping Zhao of Facebook made it clear, that it's really just an efficiency problem. Bottom line, rail

Ironic thing about this is Zynga sees their relationship with Facebook as one of the weakness, as reported in their S1: "Facebook is the primary distribution, marketing, promotion and payment platform for our games. We generate substantial

I think most people use the ipad to view content or play games. see: http://mashable.com/2010/07/08/ipad-usage-report/ It not so much about lugging a computer around, but using the ipad while you're on the move. The Ipad is so much easie

The tech/work behind Avatar is far more expensive then Toy Story. There are plenty of poor quality animation that pop up in films by major studios. And there are a number of quality cg animation by students for example http://vimeo.com/147

well if you just wanted to know if someone read or opened your email, there are services like didtheyreadit.com and toutapp.com and that will track this info for you, sort of like a receipt. If you're looking for a quick hack(limited result

Apple is in comparatively less markets then Microsoft and Google so it would make sense that they could spend comparatively less then Microsoft & Google in R&D.

The argument is simple, not thin. Instead of spending billions on new R&D, new innovation, these companies have to spend money on the shenanigans of the current software patent system.

You don't get the "prosumer/pro-but-non-top-10-blockbuster-movie-editors" without being in the pro apps business. Moreover their pro apps fit the focus of the company, a high end creative company. It's hard to market pro apps to aspiring pr

Everything is a remix, but I'm not comparing game quality, just popularity. One thing is obvious both companies made very popular games on Apple's platform. Once could easily argue that Apple made more money directly from Popcap, there was

Apple purchased Emagic for their 3rd party software and skill. They bought "a killer 3rd party app". They did this because they did not have much in house talent working music production software. Since then Apple philosophy is to develop a

It's interesting most people don't expect Apple to be the company acquiring, despite the fact they make a lot popular games for ios and mac. This is could be one of Apple misses if PopCap stop making games for Apple's platform, we know the

I don't think repurposing your design is a good way to get ux/design job. You'll need a custom design to fit like a glove, see loren's " I want to work for Airbnb ". The template monster thing is a problem. Second your site feels too much

Which makes it a bad metaphor, Apple's behavior is not abusive. We may not like it but Apple only wants a cut of the revenue they think they help generate. There is nothing in my developers agreement that will lead me to believe that Apple

You are absolutely wrong, they are for a fact imprisoned. Read : http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2008/108423.htm Search for Jehovah witness. Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jehovahs_Witness... search for Singapore.

Jason mentioned that he didn't agree with everything Groupon was doing. Besides, I see 37signals as just favoring bootstrapping and not some hardcore anti venture capital crusaders.

Another major challenge Groupon face is: They are competing with major players, companies with considerable more resources. Google, Facebook, Amazon all have competing products and a very large user base. Google has billions in profits and

I didn't read anything about square providing hardware to store cash. It can't replace traditional cash register if the system does not accept cash. There already more mature Mac based cash registers that it would be competing with.

That's interesting, there are number of website that have success doing this, Elance, Sortfolio, to name a few. It may be just the way the service is structured, i.e. it's just a listing where employers can find you.

by inkaudio 15y ago
Sure there are many developers who won't need the service, but there also plenty of developers who wouldn't mind having a service to filter out the silly and bogus request. It's not about finding any kind of work, it's about finding the rig

No problem, I hope it does well. Keep in mind design is part of marketing so take heed to the comments about improving the designs.

This is a great idea, It's hard for people with little tech experience to find a good hacker/coder and it's hards to find clients with a sufficient budget for a project. So here is my biz dev advice.. 1) Your concept of screening coders fo

I wonder why so many publishers and resellers insist on building only native apps. With the current technology you could invest in a web app that is cross platform. DRM can be cracked and it's just an annoyance to people who want to pay for
