Every purchase on the App Store is another +1 to the metric that gets your app to the top of the "Top Paid App" or "Top Grossing App" list for a particular category. Getting into those lists has been demonstrated as very important for act

The cockpit has two switches, right next to each other, on the control panel. They're exactly the same size, shape, and color. They feel the same in your hand. The only difference between these two switches are the labels. One says "Recover

Yeah, it normally bring in enough for a coffee or lunch every day. Nothing to brag about, but the key is getting that passive income mentality.

Are you kidding? Chrome is awesome when it comes to tab management. I love that they allow little slivers of tabs, rather than degrading to a clunky arrow button setup when you have too many open. Plus after closing a tab, the "tabs don't r

Turn it into a "website e-card" that people send to each other just by posting the URL on their Facebook walls, etc. Similar to how people post "www.babynames.com" whenever there's a chance someone got pregnant. Or "www.lmgtfy.com" for easy

I'm not going to get into the motivation/need for the site at all, but here's a brief review of concrete usability issues with the site. Why does it require signing up for a profile? Isn't this about anonymous sharing? Are all the faces sup

Steam used to be an additional thing you had to install/run in order to play the game you already bought on DVD from the local game store. Now it's a service you use to buy games (often at ridiculously low prices) and automatically download

I asked an interesting question here, why the Palm Pilot (and Newton) didn't originally ship with a hardware keyboard. It's fascinating to me that devices originally used handwriting recognition, then moved to physical keyboards, then to

Surprised you didn't mention that the Macbook Air superdrive is hardware locked to only Airs, Mac Minis without optical drives, etc. You can't use them with PCs or even Macs that came with internal drives. It's ridiculous.

Is there anything preventing some random developer from releasing a native iOS GMail app? I basically just want an "Archive" button and for it to always be in-sync with the cloud. Does anything like this exist?

I think I may have told you this before, but your sales website there kicks ass. Very nicely designed. "Theme" it and sell it on ThemeForest or a similar site. You'd make more from that than from your app! I would buy one.

I haven't upgraded to Lion, and likely never will, because they removed the single best feature of OS X, "all-windows" Expose with no stacking into app bundles. Default Expose was terrible in Snow Leopard too (strict grid layout vs. the old

There are a handful of simple AHK scripts based on the same concept, but that make you hold a modifier key such as [space] to identify which key you want. The advantage of my app is that determining the characters is all done naturally and

HN really needs to extend the little "domain preview" in the title to include sub-domains. Seeing "(google.com)" and then ending up on a G+ page always throws me for a loop.
