One thing I find really weird is the choice of CEO photos in media reporting. If there is good news, they chose 'nice', attractive photos. If there is bad news, they look for worse ones. This is true for male and female founders.

Sure, but potential partners and investors want to use your product and try it out. If you have Android-first the only thing you can do is you lend them an Android phone. And then you get 80% feedback on general Android topics and they boot

Last week we tried to launch an Android-first app at a major startup conference with 5000 visitors. 95% of the visitors (startups, entrepreneurs, investors, executives) had iPhones. We later confirmed this by looking at the network stats an

Interesting, can you share why it would not make sense to use App Engine here (or why Ingress ran into anti-patterns)?

If this is about a new line of baby strollers, I am really interested :) (TIL they are two different companies, where I always thought it's a brilliant marketing idea)

Twitter's UI is not just annoying, but it makes it difficult for users to onboard. Most new users are at conferences, watch TV shows, etc... and want to follow a hashtag and see it live. Now... what is a good way for a new user to do t

Very interesting chart showing the massive revenue potential for Whatsapp in light of WeChat's revenue from chat. It reminds me however of the late 90s when all major Telco operators were in a bubble being valuated after Docomo - the

Those who argue about the level of danger of that terrain should note one really important aspect: young children overheat really quickly in thelse environments. In these scenarios even if given water reserves, adults will outlive children

Thanks. Turns out I was taught me something completely wrong about Mahler! I just spoke to my parents (who were responsible for much of my musical education) and told them this, too. It seems they knew it from their parents, too.

Keyboards have been popping out automatic C-maj, A-min, F-maj, G-maj progressions for fourty years now. And with the typical toolset for electronic music, it will be easily capable to create something similar. But the masterpieces of music

Another amazing 'weird' nature reserve is the DMZ between South and North Korea. You can see the most amazing birds of prey there hunting animals in the area between the propaganda villages.

My concern is not so much about the value, but it's about the risk of fragmentation of what you need across many different IDE tools.

In rural areas when you get invited, often there is nothing else to eat. You don't get a menu. Most days you eat Seal (cooked for 5 hours). No side veggies. No spices. I do know that there were restaurants in Nuuk and Ilulissat selling

I love, love, love Greenland. Best place I have ever been to. When I was spending time in Tasiilaq, I was told that the breakdown happened because of the fallout from the Greenpeace activities against seal clubbing in Canada. This destroyed
