It may take some time, but start a blog about something related to the app and push your articles to as many places as possible (stumbleupon, twitter, etc). When you pay for marketing, you will make mistakes that cost you money during the l

You don't need funding to get your idea off the ground. If you are 30, you probably have a better credit score than these guys and can more easily get a traditional loan.

The 13 year old that "built his own web browser" slapped some pre-built VB code together. Even for a 13 year old, this isn't that big of a deal as they would like us to believe. If he wrote it in c++ and created all of the underlying netwo

I had the same problem 5 years ago. It's experiences like these that got me out of freelancing completely. It's exhausting and isn't worth it in my opinion.

You might be able to get permission or license it. I think it would probably be much cheaper than actually licensing the content. Have you tried contacting anyone in the industry?

I've been learning mandarin as a second language for the past couple of years and I came across subtitle translations of English movies to mandarin (so, you could burn a DVD with these subtitle files and be able to see the Mandarin). This

Music is already 99 cents. It can't get more disposable than that. Apps in the iphone and Android stores are also very cheap (most are under $10). Piracy hasn't slowed down.

I think it made my point quite nicely. Piracy works in a very small percentage of cases. We shouldn't be clinging to this fact and saying that it's an effective way to market and advertise.

"Take a standalone product like Camtasia. It works really well and its worth the money to buy it. But if it was FOSS and I could just donwload the sources, build and it use it, and only had to pay for support -- well I probably would never

"Our accounts sell at $12, $29 and $99, which is usually much cheaper than setting it up on yourself and running your own server. We even have switchers that used to host their own version and came to our online version." If I want to run a

I suppose it's similar to the debate that "pulling out" is a safe contraception method. It works in very few cases.

I suppose that's fine for you. However, I used to be the same way..and after years of this, I realized how many things in life that I missed. You can't ever get that time or those experiences back. Once you are old, there is no rewind.

The name is important. I know of at least a couple companies that used non .com domains and later regretted it because people were confused or couldn't remember it.

it's more like '.net'. Remember when this was the latest buzz words and nobody really knew what it meant?

I've used it before. I agree. Sphinx works very well. Craigslist even switched over to it a couple of years ago.

The problem with Mysql fulltext is that you are required to use the MyISAM table type. If you are doing any writes to this table, you will eventually run into corruption problems. This is because of the way it works underneath. So, I only
