The iPod and iPhone are two completely different worlds so it makes sense that you would see two groups of websites rise. The iPhone and iPad are almost identical. There are plenty in the community who have made the divide between the produ

Awesome! I was thinking of something like this last year but on a bit of a 'I want to meet somebody right now' scale. I'd use this if I didn't end up moving away form the bay area. Good luck!

It's been said, but I can't help but write my own comment. Excellent execution on this project.

It depends on what you value. The problem with being at a really large company is that it can be extremely difficult to find any kind of self-worth. You have to try and chase it but there will be so much red tape at every doorway that you'l

Day 2 and they've broke $600k... That is pretty awesome. I'm wondering where most of the money is going? Are people dropping the cash more for charity, because they understand that indie life is tough, or both?

Good job on this one. A few points. Some which have been hit already by prior posts, but I'd like to reiterate. Right now you're in marketing mode. So: 1. The website really needs the focus right now. My first point of confusion was the ima

My first position during high school (1.5 yr fast food), only recieved feedback during promotions. Jumped to the Marines and recieved a mega-ton of feedback. Fastforward to now, I've been in my current technology position for a year-and-a-h

I pulled my first pay stub from the Marines (2001-2005). $350 bi-weekly after taxes. 4-years/4-promotions later, I was sitting around $650 bi-weekly when I left to head to college. We're both trained for completely different purposes. Witho

You need to do some traveling. Try to get to a bigger city that may have startup related meet-ups and/or conferences in a discipline you're interested in. When you go to an event take advantage of every minute of your time to get business c

Pandora is a completely different use case. Users do not mind listening to random stuff from a selection of artists in a very controlled experience. Finally, Pandora is not free if you listen in > 40 hours per month ($36/yr).

Because when I'm tired of looking at the iTunes Top 10/100 list and I want new music I tweet, "Any new music recommendations? I need something new!" Now I follow quite a few people that I follow on Twitter and can immediately see what they

Please don't delay this product another 10 years... This should be a good one!

by mcgraw 16y ago
Well, that's nice, but they're not targeting you. They're targeting the millions of people that listen to music through iTunes everyday which are likely wondering what their friends are listening to. If you don't use their product, or have

by mcgraw 16y ago
Which is a win in my mind. I'm always out to find good music that isn't on the top 100 list. Connecting with people in an environment like this is great. People make this out to be such a poor decision on their part, but it's incredibly con

This shouldn't be of any shock to anyone. Rose is not a CEO type and has admitted so in the past. When he launched Digg he promptly went to his known acquaintance, Jay Adelson, to lead the company while he remained as the chief architect. I

That was a magnified iteration on many levels which people are not used to seeing -- design, philosophy, code. They didn't simply release a new look, they released what they believe is fixing what they felt was broken in prior versions, ie.

by mcgraw 16y ago
That's great, but to be clear: Release - Ship it, get it out there for public consumption Iterate (on your release) - Refine what you just shipped however you see fit (bugs, missing features) Repeat - Ship what you've refined and begin iter

Release. Iterate. Repeat. But at a pretty hefty cost. Definitely wasn't ready for prime-time, but it's here and they're going to be pretty busy over the next month or so re-integrating v3 philosophy and stabilizing the new back end.

For some reason when I start the game I lose connection with everyone after 5 or so seconds (all pixels are at a stand-still after they had been moving). The counter continues to count down as well. Despite the problems it is pretty slick.

Life is too short to be stuck doing things that do not make you happy. I was once told that life is filled with ladders. You approach a ladder, climb it, and when you get to the top where your skills have seemingly peaked you need to think

Yep. Mainly because I wanted to know if I was going to have to concentrate on reading the article to disect the 6 points. Found that they were actually listed, read them, and left.

Autocomplete is there. Also you have the ability to create your own micros that you can use to build skeletons (like a function, or a loop). I'm not sure about itegrated docs. You'll probably get a brief pop-up (hit-or-miss), but nothing li

Experience. Code with an API long enough and you're pretty aware of the tools at your disposal. At this point you're not learning new stuff. Finally, this likely pales in comparison to what he is typically used to doing.

It's actually pretty amazing to see how many people don't really put their systems in any kind of stress to validate their performance needs. The place I work at now never took the time to do it and things exploded. Good buddies at start-up

Well it sounds like you're extremely risk adverse so your best bet is to find a bank with the absolute best APR and just hold your cash there while you wait until you feel market conditions are a bit better. Something to think about: Divers

I don't see why not as long as you manage it well. If you can spend a few hours doing something else you like you will create a buffer from all the other crazy stuff going on. It's nice to get your head out and into something completely dif

Some initial observations -- Very clean interface. Kudos to that. So far navigation feels great and is intuitive. I like where you're going witht the medal system, though I would prefer if I could get a glimpse into what is required to earn
