You only need to make a lasting difference for one new person in your life. That way, the chain isn't broken. Anything on top of that is a bonus.

So the plan now is to still experiment with new business models, but instead of just letting people guess what the heck they are, they're going to be more explicit in a future blog post, before, presumably, rolling out TOS changes to go wit

More choice is only a good thing when you make it abundantly clear what it is you're going different, and why someone should use you. Otherwise, you're just making it harder for people to make a decision about what tools to use. Your front

I'm a developer turned product manager, and from first hand experience, I can tell you that distraction is one concern, but easy access to chat with the devs also runs the risk of 'just one more feature', or constantly revising the scope of

No iOS (MobileSafari, Chrome) support yet, it seems. At least not in iOS 6, on an iPad 2.

Some additional information on this, including how the system has been in place since 2010, with the recent change being that you're now (somehow) getting text messages without registering your mobile number: http://riyadhbureau.com/blog/2

I don't think rolling your own, or hosting your own is a feasible option for indie mobile and social game developers in the current climate short development cycles and small budgets.

I loved Called Me Maybe, went to check out the album to see if I wanted to buy that too, and simply didn't like it, so I didn't. Stylistically, the rest of her songs just weren't 'catchy' enough that I saw myself listening to them much. Ma

I'm amazed at the kind of auditing info on Dropbox activity Zynga have access to. Guess that business account really paid off. There's only a brief mention of 'security testing and auditing' here, no details as to the extent of what they of

I live in London and attended several Olympic and Paralympic events. They were hardly 'ruined' for me. I saw hundreds of thousands of people having a good time, cheering on teams and interacting with visitors from other countries.

Same reason iOS connects to http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html when you go on WiFi? Of course, the question then is, why don't they just use that one?

It's no such thing. You're not forced to get a passport. Plenty of people live quite happily in the same country or region they were born. People should travel, and experience other cultures, but they're not being forced to pay for a passpo

I challenge the 'quite a bit of money' part. Fees for a Dutch passport amount to about US $100 at the UK embassy e.g. (I'm Dutch, but live in the UK): http://www.dutchembassyuk.org/page/index.php?i=158 Sure, $100 sounds low for many peopl

Something like 60% of Iranians are under 30. This is Iran's way of limiting any easy communication and organization amongst a younger generation seeking change.

The equivalent to 'less code' is more likely to be 'less pixels' rather than 'less design'. Design isn't neccesarily just excess flourish.

You don't complete your education, just because you have a full time job. You should never stop learning new things (or revising your opinion/knowledge of things you were taught earlier).
