I find the end result pretty attractive, and it's definitely distinctive - perhaps it could have wider applications than just signage: http://fonts.info/pub/pdf/wayfinding-sans-pro.pdf

I somewhat agree with the content criticism, it is indeed fairly random sometimes - I doubt I'm ever going to use the French word for 'postage stamp' or the French word for 'ladder'. I think it might have got better in this regard --- you l

This is a good business model you guys are aiming for. I think people would definitely pay for custom branding and you're solving a current pain point! Would have used this in a couple of projects I've been involved in.

I wonder how much revenue you'd raise on Kickstarter if HBO agreed to release The Wire into the public domain for a certain sum. Enough to make it worth their while? I think so (especially if they released the source material so people coul

I do disagree with the dichotomy; I doubt firms would stop paying to be official sponsors just because others were allowed to use the terms sensibly (i.e. not implying that they were affliated with the Games). Also, we already have plenty o

It seems as though there's provision for satirical use of a mark to be allowed in the UK under some circumstances, so he might be ok: http://www.dyoung.com/trademarknewsletter-nov07#anchorlink2

Definitely, this is excellent. Like the way it's got a bit of tech stuff and also business as well.

Almost certainly not --- Android apps are compiled to a platform independent bytecode anyway, so there's no reason the compilation process would be any different here. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)

I'm perhaps more of an extrovert in the same situation, but just apply to everything --- sure you'll fail at some stuff but it's always instructive. The key is realising the difference between a judgement of you and a judgement of how you i

Speaking of Theme Hospital, looks like there's a recent project to create an open source implementation: http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ Could be good, especially if it goes the way of OpenTTD and gets its own open source data files.

I wonder to what extent you could do this automatically given a text in two languages (e.g. Harry Potter). From a quick google it looks as though text alignment might fall in the category of "possible" NLP problems[1], so it might be feasib

OCaml has a powerful module system which can be used in a way quite similar to typeclasses ( https://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/37 ). The main difference is the lack of purity, which means that the side effects of a function aren't part o

That kind of stuff is eminently possible on Android, but obviously it's not particularly a high priority for Google to get it in the mainline! We did some proof of concept work and had an implementation of some similiar ideas a while ago (b
