Since all bitcoin transactions are traceable, it will be interesting to see how this money gets laundered.

Reminds me of the $99 yearly fee to submit apps to the App Store. Except Apple isn't one for charity.

Selling a specialized device for tv watching undermines the purpose of my social remote idea. Your friends wont have one, so they can't participate as easily as they could if it was a webapp. I suppose you could buy 4 of them, like I (an on

Did they fully understand the reasoning behind the techniques you taught, or was it just memorization? I have taught my mom how to do certain things, but she has no intuition. As soon as something is slightly wrong or different, she gets st

The other thing removing the stylus did was force the software to go in a completely different direction. With a fat finger, the ui can't look and work the same as mouse driven ui as it could with a stylus.

I cant comment on LoneWolf's reply, but I agree with his point. It was not my intention edit: so is there a reply depth limit?

As much as I might enjoy starting a fight, I'm sure we'd both just get downvoted until we can't read what we said anymore. I wasn't trying to be snooty or anything with my remarks. I just meant that there is a market for a wide range of see

3 years ago, I made a prototype for LG of a social remote control. It allowed anyone in the room with a web browser (including smart phones) to send videos to the tv. It was great for group tv watching, since it gives everyone the ability t

Much like the tool that Apple includes for removing sim cards from your iphone, this tool is a glorified paperclip. Not the end of the world if you lose it. Also, prongs break. That said, I don't have a macbook with an SD card. Nor am I run

People like you are not a large market, unfortunately. > There's nothing the iPad can do that my open, unlocked hardware cannot do. Your open, unlocked hardware, cannot survive two days with my mother.

You are right, but Apple's definition of marketing doesnt end with the billboards or the tv commercials. Every time you see someone wearing those white earbuds, that's marketing. When your mom is always on her ipad, despite 20 years of less

Can you clarify the point you are making? Are you saying that Apple is succeeding because their customers are their users? Or are you claiming Apple software sucks, and every ipad sold was a gift?

Ah to be a newbie again... My first BASIC games were hilarious with their global variables. The program was a giant mess of spaghetti code. If I wanted to add a new feature, I would make up wacky variable names to be sure I wasn't using the

"we've seen a deluge of these recently and not a single one has had something fresh to say" Then stop reading them? Things get repeated, rehashed and re-posted all the time. Just be glad we arent talking about Bitcoin again :) Personally, I

There could a freemium approach as well. The paying users get a better experience (more storage space, faster delivery, faster search), and the free users get the basic package. Seems to work for Dropbox and they dont show me ads, except ad

Innovation is rewarded in the marketplace, but the market also unfortunately rewards fast followers who copy innovators.

I like that MvM costs money. It's a simple way to ensure you are getting paired up with people who are dedicated to finishing the match.

There are forum posts and youtube videos for how to cheat in most IAP games. Developers are learning to fight against it, but it funny how much effort goes into making sure some bits dont get flipped.

You are a veteran video gamer. This is a different model of play from what you are used to. Many of the people playing these new style games haven't played many video games before.

IAP wins because the developer can capture more of the area under the curve for what people are willing to spend to the play the game. With traditional games, you either pay the $10 or you dont. Once you have bought the game, you are done.

They probably spend $4mil/month on advertising to drive new players to the game. That's how this all works.

It's harder to accidentally kill people with my cell phone than with a car. Regulation leads to standardization.
