What I personally am learning is this: Closed marketplaces are good! I tried doing stuff for the internet - I had a BIG discovery problem. How do people find you? If you do stuff for a closed ecosystem like the app store, ebay, amazon, etsy

Follow works even better. Now all we need is someone from Facebook to take part in this conversation...

There are companies who make money by scaring you about identity theft. But personally, I just don't think it is a valid concern. Stealing your identity is soemthing that has always been possible, but only nowadays is there some type of hul

Think about it rationally. There are 300 million facebook users. How many people are out there who want to steal your identity? What are the odds of those people actually stumbling upon YOUR profile? What is the damage that they will do, an

The "evil" in this method is that you will never know the company has your email, because they will get your info off your facebook profile without having to contact you. Facebook will give the info to anyone who has your email and they won

Balsamiq has twice as many twitter followers as Facebook 'Fans'. I'm strongly of the opinion that the word 'Fan' and the way it shows up in your Facebook profile makes Facebook pages a lot less useful for businesses. I want to get info abou

I've been thinking about this since I discovered it - is it not facebook being unethical here? They give full access to the personal info of a person given their email address. Their new 'privacy' terms is basically about nobody having any

Don't do this. You don't have any more expert knowledge than the pro investor - he knows a LOT more than you and he has access to the same websites you read. If code clarity were relevant to stock price, then the programmer has an advantage

Use Skype-In with Skype-Forwarding to your normal phone. Skype will forward to 5 different phones at the same time, and whoever picks up first gets the call. So it's convenient when you have other people who could answer the call.

It will be a way to get your pics off your iphone. Play your music loud. Transfer files to iPhone. You drop it on your desk, 'dock' your phone by dropping it on it and there you go.

The tablet is going to be an iPhone and iPod Touch accessory. That's what will sell this thing, and that's what they will have in there. A tight integration with the tens of millions of mobile devices out there.

I think that the other commenters here are on to something with Data Mining, but they are not seeing it right. What is really needed is more than Data Mining but more of Data Abstraction. I.e, there is a LOT of different data out there. Peo

This will be a niche area for few very good programmers. A general purpose developer should not risk this. If it does not pan out, then you've wasted a lot of time.

Mobile Devices is a good and safe bet. Particularly cross-platform stuff. Fragmentation is not going to occur, everyone knows what is at stake and nobody wants it to happen.

There is no evidence at all that an alternative OS is going to hit off in any significant way. Netbooks are popular cos they run Windows XP. I expect it to stay that way. Android is a gamble. Data Mining will make a lot of money for the per

2002 called, they want your comment back. No seriously, semantic web has been talked about for a long time. People don't understand it, don't care and don't see how it will make them money.

Why do all the names seem so similar, and a lot of the designs follow similar philosophies?

I think both are equally difficult to get into. I think that TS does not impose as many ideas from above as YC. The YC companies all seem to have very similar names and designs when they first publicly announce, while the TS companies seem

That would likely be a bit claustrophobic should it ever be made. That's what I mean - big planes should be used between big hubs, for example leaving from the ocean beside England and landing in the ocean beside new york, then you take a b

And people still ask me why I prefer taking high speed trains! Flying by plane is so nerve-wracking nowadays, what with dogs sniffing about and burly custom agents and you have to arrive 2 hours beforehand, wait in long lines, sit in an enc

I heard the frame-rate is les horrible! 12fps for very simple flash games when running on mobile platforms. Maybe the tablet will run flash better, but I don't really see Apple having much of an interest in enabling this.

The only webservice I pay for is DabbleDB. Dropbox I can live with the restriction, but you absolutely need a database when you need to track a large amount of items. I'm REALLY suprised that there are not cheaper alternatives to DabbleDB -
