He had data to back his claim. He has not posted the slides yet. An example: Omnifocus ($20) has sold 50,000 copies, and made the company $700,000. It is selling at a consistent rate, no race to the bottom or gimmick app. It rivaled (if

I'm at StackOverflow DevDays in Boston, and Dan Pilone gave a great presentation on the iPhone environment. The iPhone isn't really a gold rush, but there is money to be paid. Figures show that the top grossing apps were $50, even though

It's a big deal when someone sends you an MMS from their phone and you have to deal with AT&T's awful retrieval site. iPhone to iPhone is fine, because you both are using email, but when friends and family have unlimited MMS, but limite

I'm glad Atwood wrote a well thought out article, instead of the brief rehashes we had been seeing. I suspect the shorter articles are a result of StackOverflow DevDays coming up

I don't look forward to the rolling outages due to the fact that they underestimated the amount of MMS traffic that will occur when this goes live. I really wish their network was better. I mean, most phones have MMS, so why is the iPhone

It seems like Atwood is concentrating more on StackOverflow and the Dev Days Conferences. It seems like Coding Horror is falling by the wayside right now.

In the end, only the popular bands make money anyway. Even if you sign with a major label, if nobody likes your music, they aren't buying your album, or your concert tickets. My point was that a band will make more money on tour because th

When will recording companies realize the issues with the current system? I really wish iTunes operated like Steam. You buy a song, and can download it as often as you need to. You dont have to worry about deleting/losing your MP3, becaus

The Monome ( http://monome.org ) would be a good example of open source hardware. They have opened up their schematics and firmware so that you can build your own, and it has lead to people porting it to other platforms (like arduino)

^ iTunes: Great in 2001. Now it's bloated, slow, doesn't handle large libraries well, What is considered a large library? I have about 3500 songs, and I am not having problems.

Jeff is trying to get across is that before you devote an amount of effort towards something powered by user generated content, you should ask yourself a few questions. Near the end of the post, he lists a set of questions you may want to a
