Do we know if Google ever tried to acquire Dropbox or was it just Apple? Sorry in advance if I'm just really out of the loop.

My post implied that the system is broken, so I do agree with you. As cumbersome as it is, the solution to 3 would be to have everyone in a circle create the exact same circle.

Yeah, people are sharing wrong. If one person posts Vacation photos, they should post it to their Friends circle, while their Tech posts can be public posts. But, to be honest it's one more thing for people to do and is the reason why there

Everyone here keeps saying to turn this into a platform. Though I agree that developers can capitalize on this opportunity, there's a road we can go down that in my opinion may make things too crowded. Yes, it would be great to have a centr

I wasn't a fan of Oink from the beginning. On its first use I was able to like such arbitrary things like my own T-shirt, or a piece of gum on the floor. I knew right then this was going to get way too noisy and it did. I do see where they'

People also used to do this with eBay. I also sometimes sell on Craigslist but I work full time so it has to be larger scale. Sometimes I buy event tickets and sell them on Craigslist for a profit if I know there will be high demand. The pr

His point is that he doesn't want to pay for distribution. He's more than happy to support artists directly.

It takes me like 40 minutes to fall asleep for a nap. I'm much too alert during the day after a full night's rest.

Especially with games, in the prototyping stage a lot of programmers fall into the trap of trying to abstract as much as they can out of everything they do. Though this makes sense in certain situations, it hurts the game prototype by slowi

Drives me crazy that they do this. Take Pay-Per-View for example. Why is it that on demand services like Vudu don't have the ENTIRE library of movies? Why not? Why would a movie not be on there? Because greed. Because Vudu won't charge $5 f

among all the SOPA news today, seeing this is refreshing. I'm so glad this model worked for him, and I hope others follow in his foot steps. Distribution is over valued.

As a T-Mobile customer, I follow iPhone news pretty closely and there's been so many reports of T-Mo reps claiming to get the iPhone. I mean, they already have unlocked ones running under them at 2G speeds. But, they're also upgrading to HS

So I played the Lego board game series Heroica recently and at first I thought it was brilliant. It's pretty much a simplified version of D&D where you build the map with Legos. Then at the end I realized that the game-play pieces were

I definitely feel like the term isn't used correctly in the context of the article but in any case there is definitely a certain attitude of nastiness on HN that I experience all the time. I always find myself carefully choosing words and b

Fair enough, though I wasn't at all upset at the idea of seeding the video 'cause honestly digital distribution should be free, just the note he put with the seed felt selfish and in the context of the article did not include a link. I unde

Can't believe someone put it on a Torrent site with that lame excuse. His experiment is interesting and I think it works but only for acts like him. I'd like to see stats on the Humble Indy bundles I feel they follow the same model but at a

looks like $1 iOS games with free newly released content is no more. Now we have to pay for each new set of 10 levels that I can finish in 1 sit. How does Tetris' gameplay style warrant new content to justify a 30$ game purchase anyway?

Gowalla's gorgeous. And right when Google is in process of beautifying all its products, makes sense as a talent buy to me!

Their CEO always says shit like this. It bottles my mind how much the CEO believes in his products. IMO he's too optimistic and quite frankly needs a hard smack of reality. That or he's just trying to keep investors at bay.

Just ask how much a single top 10 Facebook game generates in revenue in one 24-hour period. You'll be quite astonished.

Zynga does not have the same profit problems as Groupon. The only reason they dip low is from over marketing whereas Groupon's operational costs really are pricey.

Do you spend all day scheming ways to exploit people? Fuck no, get over it already. As a developer I certainly try to fight it. Day after day producers come up with a new game that follows the exact same formula of questing and doll h

Paying Grooveshark member here, will be sad to see this go. As unorganized as their service is, their library is massive. Of course, it's obviously illegal how their library is able to be so massive. I'm hoping I can at least save my playli

So on one end you plug in the HDMI, and the other end you need a female->male cable to power the USB? Just asking for clarification.

In my opinion it's just a commonly used term in which I subconsciously process as something else. Whenever I read a reply that begins with "This." I instead hear "I couldn't agree with you more." Typically, the comment doesn't stop there an
