I use and love Mint but Shawn doesn't seem to have any intention on growing it outside of a self-hosted web script, which is a shame cause there is a huge opportunity I think. But in his defense, he's got a nice income off it with very low

It helps me on days I workout because I know I have a target I'm trying to beat. There are many times where I know I would have stopped wayyy short of the daily target... but the determination to meet or beat it keeps me going. I'm not sure

Well, if you're going to argue the case of proximity... then you should consider the relative strengths and weakness of those geographic areas too. pg has an active role in the local universities (which are world class btw), and is more phi

Which in-turn, is now an idea magnet that pulls the best deal flow from around the world. I don't think they are the only ones that are capable of doing this tho. ycom also seems to be more consumer focused, which is what most of the techbl

I love Austin as a town and people have that southern hospitality charm. The university and talent pool is great too. However, Austin suffers from the big fish, small pond syndrome. Things are changing slowly but surely, hopefully Capital F

Indeed, I use SilverStripe CMS which is a relatively new open source CMS that is pretty awesome... but buggy at times. Eagerly awaiting 2.3. http://silverstripe.org

I made an iPhone application for me cause most exercise apps are for gym rats, overly complicated and I just don't have time for a gym nor interested in looking bulky and lifting weights. I was inspired after using HundredPushups. I'm blogg

I grew up in Houston, TX which has always been an ultra-conservative city, full suit and tie in the middle of a Texas summer. I've never been one for clothing fads which is why I stick to button downs, sport coats, jeans, and nice leather s

Very well put. A team is only hurting them self if designer|vs|engineer qualms and misunderstandings aren't managed. It's as equally important for the product to work, as it is for the consumer to understand. There are complexities on both

I have doubts that he's making $200 an hour w/ that app, especially with AdMob. We dropped admob b/c of the terrible returns, check their forums.

That's just a load of crock... we had an app rejected 3 times for very, very, very tiny UI inconsistencies. I look at the AppStore and it amazes me what gets through.

Informative post, I can confirm a lot of the same experiences and frustrations except we had a much different experience with timing. It definitely DID NOT take 2 weeks from start to finish for us. They must have improved the developer appr

Hmmm, I'd like to see a formal comparison of the two. I haven't used zumodrive but I'm soooooo impressed with Dropbox. It's amazing. I know this is against the grain, but Dropbox replaced SVN for our development projects. It's a lot easier

Comment I left on his blog: Would you say this is a shift we're seeing across the entire tech industry? In my opinion, throughout the 90's and early 00's technology was compared by a lengthy feature-set, but not necessarily by accessibility
