I'm really hoping there is a fix for this in 4.0. After all, 4.0 does allow apps to 'state save' - I can't imagine a cached webpage would use much more ram than a cached app. The Safari refresh thing has always bugged me on my iPhone, but I

My friend has a site where you 'nominate' apps to be featured. It seems the devs with the crappy apps are always trying to game the system. Paying to get good reviews doesn't surprise me, but if you're going to do it you better not publish

I have friends in the UK, I paid them via Paypal and they setup the account for me. I realized when I was there in November last year I could've also gotten a prepaid credit card.

I've been much more interested in what Spotify is doing. I think if they could get into North America before Apple, they'd do quite well. At the moment I'm stuck with a UK VPN. I've been really happy with the service, it just feels like the

I love Jessica, I mean.. how can you not? I found myself smiling when she was laughing/smiling about something. Another great interview by Andrew, as usual. Though, one thing I've noticed in a few of the Mixergy interviews is Andrew making

For one, it was partially a joke. Canadians apologize too much and for anything. Let me be clear, I'm not sorry this happened to Bootup. I'm sorry because I don't want anyone to think bad of our city because of an event like this. Bootup ca

Jamie, I have a friend at Digg who is trying to contact you. They're looking for designers, if you're interested in a job.

Friend of mine: "Opera Mini's flagrant disregard for UI conventions would get any other app rejected." Pretty much sums up my thoughts. It's bad on so many levels and somehow received special treatment.

It's usually not the big dating sites, it's those sites you get ads for if you use OkCupid or PoF. Affiliate marketers are familiar with these as they usually offer the best payouts. The majority are matchmaking services, or market themselv

I think there is enough room for everyone, I agree with what Marco tweeted about it: "I think the health of the Twitter-client market, for apps that all do pretty much the same things, shows that they'll all be fine." http://twitter.com/

My mom wants one and that's how I know it's going to do well. Sidenote: Anyone order 2 and are willing to let the other go? Or are going to pick up in store and could grab another? I'd really like to get it 3 weeks before the international

I'm using a 20GB account that costs $6.99/mo. - It's perfect for me, but I don't think it's available anymore. I believe it was just a paid tier they put in to test if people would use it.

Most likely the fresh install had something to do with that. AFAIK the browser lives in memory and only touches the hard disk for saving files/history.

What I meant was, I'd typically get $800 up front for just the site, not including any upsells. Basically I'd say the site was $2400, the company who was going to buy it paid 50% upfront. My costs for the site are.. $1900 (designers, devs,

I used to do a lot of offline marketing of online products and made some good money. What I mean by this is selling sites/hosting/newsletter hosting to small, local businesses. I did this when I was tight on cash, since it can usually be do
