Write down all the pros and cons, then take each topic in discussion and try to bring as many objective and logic arguments as possible. Leave personal feelings and your ego aside, if you do that the other might do the same and you might re

Yes, it can be this, or it might be as well exactly what the press releases says. In other words, Apple is to arrogant to pay licensing fees for what other are already paying. "Nokia has already successfully entered into license agreements

I would say even more, every product has to be first a "nice to have" and hopefully for you to become later a "must have". Nowadays in our society we already can live a very comfortable life, there is no real "must have". I support my point

My advice (well, others said this before, but my experience confirmed it) is to build your first product the way you like it. If you are happy with the product and you really enjoy using it then you already have one customer :). And I am re

When your competitor has raised $8M in funding and you barely have $50k you get the feeling that it is not a fair competition. (And it can not be fair, no matter what you say...). But when your product gets better reviews, you suddenly beco
