I had the opposite experience. I heard about all the great games on the iPhone, so I downloaded a bunch of 5-star games. However, I was shocked to find that almost all of them were spammy and hardly let you play without making an in-game p

I see my job as not to just deliver a product, but to help my client be successful. If I do not believe that my help will help make my client successful -- e.g. make money, get investment, or satisfy a contract with one of their customers -

That is a good point about hourly rates. Make sure your hourly rate is high -- in my experience, the more you charge, the more your client respects your work and time. Plus, you can afford to give some free hours or work a bit extra to make

Congrats! Based on my experience: * Fixed-price is acceptable risk only if: (1) The project is small (e.g. <= one month), (2) The client has a precise spec (and he is hopefully technical), (3) The project is not R&D -- there is littl

I've been freelancing for a while. Here are a few ideas: (1) For every flat rate project, you need a way to counter endless lists of revisions. I recommend your contract either having a cap on the maximum hours spent, or having an &quo

I also did psychophysics in Matlab. However, the author conveniently does not mention the wide variety of toolkits available for psychophysics in Matlab ... e.g. http://psychtoolbox.org/HomePage

I worked for a professional photographer. Customers don't pay professional photographers to take photos, they pay them to take good photos. The end photos which go to customers are edited to look as good as possible, which is why the cust

Sounds like he's trying to make the original article more neutral-sounding to me. He is merely saying that some people may immediately dismiss the author's article as trying to show that right-wing arguments are flawed. Hence, he proposed a

A good scientific model makes novel predictions (bonus points if unexpected), then we later confirm them through experiment. For example, Einstein's theory of relativity is continually tested in novel ways -- predictions are made using the

I see a lot of potential for the "lower class and noneducated" in the Q&A space. Questions about relationships and social issues often cannot be answered by merely browsing websites. Everyone views their own situation as being unique. P

The author completely didn't discuss the negatives -- the battery. The largest battery life between the phones mentioned is 1800 mAh. This is just over half of the battery capacity of the current-generation Droid Maxx (3300 mAh) - which sti
