It's a complicated collection of things, but a lot of it boils down to: how many people will get what the app does from the title and the icon. And also, will your consumers search for the app? For example, if I had an app called "Table Ten

I am quite sure there is not going to be any inflation or hyper-inflation. The U.S is spending a lot, but it's also very very high income. And a lot of countries have no interest in one of the biggest consumer group for their products disap

Probably buy video games and make an arcade. That was the business I was into at the time, never could afford the equipment though.

I'd be ashamed to approach a YC company with my 24k. Like - it's not THAT much money!

I'm starting Android this month, everything is in place. I'll post comparison posts on my blog after I test it out for a couple of weeks. I personally don't think Android will work, but I'm generally a pessimist.

Actually, there is one thing I can do perfectly now: I can listen to an app idea and tell you how much money it will make. If I knew developer who needed 5k to make apps, I'd def invest in them. I don't know any however, the ones I know don

Ehh, anyone who bothered to email me has gotten the stuff I know for free. I don't want to give any talks or write a book. It's easier and less stressful to just make the apps.

I'm pretty smart, but you still need a confluence of certain things at a certain time, which was clearly the case with the app store about 8 months ago, and which I took advantage of. One can never know if everything will fall perfectly in

That seems like an even quicker way to end the profit run. If everyone knows how to do this, the market will slow down and then soon my tips will be worthless since they no longer work. Then I killed the goose that lays the golden egg.

Everyone's sales have gone up 100% post christmas. It's now what he did. By the way, if anyone wants to get into iPhone development or has an app, send me an email, I know a lot of tricks I can tell you that I don't want to make public yet.

If you are afraid to defend a view because your average karma on some website will fall below a certain level, then you are not the type of person that should be defending views. Say what you believe in. Karma, comment average is unimportan

It's easy to shut down the site when you are losing the search game to local competition. In any case, even though I find freedom of speech to be necessary and encouraged, I do not think that Google is right to imply in this blog post that
