My picks for the ones that will be successful from the idea only, without looking at the bios of the founders or the websites: - Notifo - Zencoder (If they drop their prices. Those prices are horrendous for the REAL market they are targetin

Google used to censor Scientology and Nazi pages for U.S and German searches. Are they still doing this?

Everything becomes easier the more you do it. If you're shy, there is an easy way to get over it: break it into component parts (talking to people, going new places etc). The break each part into steps that you can take. For example, talkin

I personally strongly believe also that Googles actions were politically motivated. Google is not standing up for free speech or anything like that - they are just supporting the position of the United States government. I expect a company

What about PHP? I have something you will like, but initially, the project is PHP based.

The problem is this: Apple is removing Cookie Cutter apps that are very close to what that service describes. I said that, and you came and said "NO, they are removing private API apps". That is inaccurate and misleading to anyone who wants

The difference between you and me is that you have absolutely no idea, and you're just talking because you want to say something. Instead of saying "oh, I did not hear that", you say "that is not true". But you have NO IDEA if it is true or

I'm working hard to be polite here. Apple was removing private APIs and so on months ago. NOW, as in TODAY and YESTERDAY, they are removing apps like the ones created by the service linked to. I just said something true. You "rebutted" it w

If you use this, then you will be in trouble. It has been all over the news that apple is removing these type of apps from the app store.

Those were the days. I remember how there used to be so many arguments and petty battles about which protocol or extension to use, and all the incompatible clients and how one client maker would add an extension that would break other clien

I used to play under-16 tournaments before I gave up the game, and I found that there were two stages: - Experience. This would take you up to a certain level and you would beat less experienced players. At some point, however, the experien

I think you're going to define what exactly you mean by SaaS? Are you talking about web apps that are used by businesses? Web apps in general? Anything with a subscription model? SaaS is not a clear concept to me.

There is like a big list of minor annoyances. For example I get multiple notifications, but when I start the app there is nothing shown in the notification center till you pull the top down and release it. That's a bit counter-intuitive. If

I absolutely hate the instrumental nonsense that a bunch of music school graduates are producing this day, but I love jazz. Play Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Satchmo, Anita O'Day, Peyroux, even Diana Krall. This is what Jazz was initial

I purchased this and it does what it says and it's not a rip-off of some other client. I'm always happy to see someone make money in software. And no, I'm not affiliated with the company or being payed, just a happy customer that is happy w

The idea is great, but the iPhone client is pretty poor, no offense intended. I had to restart it after every step, and when you initially install it, it's very use unfriendly. It says "create notifo account", but does not tell you how or w

Obviously, deluding myself into believing what I want to believe is a big problem that we all face. But I'm well aware of this, and I've factored it in into my decision. I'm here for the money, not for any misguided loyalty to open or free

I think that the Windows Phone market (>30 crowd) are a great market. They have money, small amounts don't matter to them, they are not so jaded and have not already seen everything on reddit. They also are not aware that they can do a

If this were about Apple, I don't think anyone would even think that the person were being paid. No, Microsoft did not pay me, just the same as Google did not way me to write my article about Google Wave.

Obviously, it's risky. Given the information that is available at the moment (screenshots, videos, spec sheets), then this particular path is the best to take. I.e, Microsoft can still fuck it up by release a sideways talker or something st

Yes, I've seen the situation where you have a group of people looking at a close-by tree, and one person is shouting: look there is a snake. And everyone is saying "where, where"? I've seen this go on for 10 minutes, and people just don't s

Wait a minute. Snakes don't eat humans and are not predators for humans. Snakes have no interest in attacking humans, they just don't want to be attacked by humans. Snakes also avoid going where there are many humans as they are likely to g
