   Or you could listen to the podcast and find out that it was real money, but why let facts get in the way?

   I've spent well, well more than $20 on Android apps. But I don't play many games.

   So it's die then. You can't even buy WebOS devices in many (most?) countries so how they expect to gain any market share at all is beyond me.

   Fogbugz ( http://www.fogcreek.com/fogbugz/ ) on Linux runs under Mono. We use it. It works well.

   I have a data point of one (me) who disagrees with that. I've spent heaps on apps. I was shocked to find that iOS makes you enter a password before buying stuff - what kind of a PITA is that?

   HN with all the TechCrunch bullshit edited out is much better. I've been skipping any TC link for a while now and it's a big improvement.

    Thanks for Slicehost, I ran a server there for quite a while before it was bought and it was great. Devstructure looks like good cleverness as well!

    And I guess it was worth the hundreds of thousands of deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq in the last 10 years? Happy happy joy joy. Huh.

    "I'm all of internationalization"? I'd be fascinated to read your comment in English.

    They're nice but I find them to be much too crunchy. I'd suggest the additional step of removing the calcium carbonate coating from ingredient #8 before it goes into reactor #2.

    Why did someone I've never heard of delete something from a site I've never visited? Who cares?

    I think Gruber frequently presents biased statements or opinions as facts (e.g. his rant about fonts on Android devices being unreadable was just strange) but if you take his name off this piece and read it objectively then he's actually ma

    My phone is stock, not rooted, it has a checkbox to install non-market apps and that works fine. Not sure what they're on about.

    While you're waiting, try EverPaper.

    They look nice. I feel the same way about Feedr & BeyondPod on Android and EverPaper is pretty nice as well.

    Cars? Pretty much every other consumer product in history? Other than those two, I totally see your point.

    I like this idea. It would be handy on dev machines, and I would use it.

    Interesting. I typed in my local equivalent of a zip code (four digits beginning with a zero) and it accepted it. So either you guys are planning on going global right away, or your validation's not all that flash?

    Mavis Beacon had never apparently heard of the numeric keypad, or the Ctrl key, so what would she know?

    BASIC, from a book, around 1978-9. This was several years before I ever actually saw or used a computer, because my dad was convinced it would be worth learning. Turns out he was right!

    It'll be welcome. It's a long time since Blackboard was the thing that actually saved us from <shudder> Lotus LearningSpace.

    Oh and I really dislike ad-supported apps. Handcent is the only one that I can think of that's not annoying, because the ads only show up in the config screens. I'd rather pay.

    Yep. I've paid for a bunch of apps including BeyondPod, Vignette, Feedr, SwiftKey, TradeDroid Pro, gStrings and Soundhound. Why not? They're cheap and very, very good. If it's less than $5USD I'll probably not even notice, and between $5 a

    Presumably quite a lot of them are being paid to go around and click on ads to increase revenue for certain sites.
