Worm holes, black holes, supernovas, big bang, the million other galaxies outside of ours — those are phenomenons. Billionaire athletes (through endorsements) are the result of a sharp rise in consumer consumption, media saturation, and glo

Does annual-based subscription really have that low of recurring rates? Seems like it would be a rather moot point => off-set by lower transaction fees for processing cards once per annum instead of every month.

I'd understand your point if this story was even remotely associated to HN, technology, or "hacking the system".

Can someone point me in the direction of why this is HN worthy? I'm missing the connection here.

If I was trying to disrupt the media industry, I would probably keep it a secret for awhile too.

Couldn't have said it better. I think this was pretty shallow analysis by the author, but to his very first point - I do think it's the elephant in the room for a lot of startups. One of the most consistent pieces of advice/feedback I've he

This is a great writeup, very thorough. Experience/knowledge aspects aside, professionalism seemed to be the common trait that separates the <$100k from the >$100k consultants. If you're easy to work with, communicative, and respo

But if you get closer to being able to do it alone, you will find cofounders with greater ease. Nobody wants to join a team that will fail without them. I absolutely agree. I think the perception of bias is because I'm not a developer but

That's exactly how I felt when we received the email from ADC. While in all honesty it probably didn't take them a lot of time to consolidate their help docs, I can't say I've relied on them since August of 2008. Would have preferred their

I think this post is pretty biased. I've spoken with a lot of "entrepreneurial" developers and many of them just don't have what it takes, particularly on the consumer side, to complete the loop and take a product to market successfully. Th

Working for a startup can mean a lot more than that if you're not trapped in a mental state of idealism and arrogance. The last startup I was apart of failed (partly due to technical ego), but as a whole it was my real life MBA; a great exp

Couldn't agree more regarding MobileMe/iDisk. Dropbox is one of the most brilliant executions I've seen in a long time, and they continue to rock it. \m/ Standing ovation, the site redesign is gorgeous too.

Flat organizations have arrived in tech. When I took a tour of Facebook last week, I was shocked at the lack of visible structure in regard to closed offices, etc. Everything was open and collaborative, it was pretty sweet - especially all

Yep, overall some nice improvements but I was hoping they would have carried the Top Earners across to categories too.

The mobile software market is young (relative to it's tragic past) and we're a small shop of mashups => advertising/web/software engineering. I have roughly 10 years of experience but it's not about me, it's about us and when combined —

by pxlpshr 17y ago
Right, distinction is important. We use "combined experience" to call out the width of our expertise, not depth, on our publishing services page for mobile development. I think it helps reassure some prospectives that while young, we have

I'm all for modernism but their font-size is too damn small. One of the very, very few times I've ever had to use font zoom. Anyhow, after a few hiccups installing SL on my Mac Pro today (MacBook was flawless) — I can definitely notice some

I'm very much aware of the quality of their products and I agree with your 4-step process, but that's not the end game for success in the AppStore and that's all I was saying. There are plenty of gems amongst the 65k apps that have not had

I think it's safe to assume that they'll ride the top charts for a while and this product will definitely give them a really solid return. However, I wish they'd paint a more realistic picture for AppStore publishers... but I doubt I'm thei

I think there's a bit of pessimism in your comment, specifically in regard to Apple/Opera and ignoring the strengths of Webkit. In fact, I believe the iPhone already supports some HTML 5 standards. However I can't say I blame your negativit
