I just don't get it. First, the ideology behind the service seems to be predicated on a straw man: few people think that cloud backup services are insecure, untrustworthy or otherwise worrisome. Moreover, the physical aspect seems to be a g

My general rate is $50/hour. However, I'm a full-time student and as such I have very little capacity for employment and have a difficult time locating projects at all, so my time has effectively no intrinsic value. At best, I made what equ

All I can say is that the pricing is egregiously high. At that point, it becomes more lucrative to simply develop one's own board.

I dislike the aesthetic of the ad. The edge of the iPad is aligned exactly to the edge of the magazine. At first glance, I thought this was some sort of printing error: it look egregious. I like the asymmetry, but there is some sort of mo

Just, no. You lack a fundamental understanding of the psychology that underlies my point. Knowledge that you are missed out on a more lucrative deal makes the current price less appealing when juxtaposed against the missed deal. This is ide

Mine is congruous with the general sentiment: the base plan is overkill (price-wise, that is) while the top-tier plan is insufficient. Most users that would conceivable want to track a single campaign will be individuals with projects or ve

But, knowing that the same product was 100% off mere hours ago will certainly disgruntled potential buyers. I think this model is more likely to alienate customers than it is to entice them.

The idea is novel, but it's a solution to a trivial problem. Most companies probably don't pay any significant amount of thought to sports standings. Fewer still would take the time out of their day to contend with some sort of system to ke

This is fascinating, but I just can't discern a practical purpose. The novelty of the "I just converted this huge piece of software written in c or machine code into JS" type of post usually extends only to the title. The link itself genera

I find the ease with which people can be manipulated to be fascinating. This individual was far too trusting and lacked adequate discernment or awareness. I buy things based on one tenant: don't trust anyone who attempts to take your money,

I think their copy is doing them a disservice. It their most prominent, preeminent feature is that I have to give them my money to use their service, they ought to rethink their marketing strategy. Most people so not revel in giving away th

Apple is blatantly and abjectly stealing from Google. This is an egregious and shameless flaunting of the thousands of hours of tireless effort and innovation that went into crafting Google's unique and beautiful culture. Pathetic. /sarcasm

This reeks of pretention and arrogance. It's fairly obvious and intuitive that expensive things are nice and that you should pursue them. However, the overwhelming majority of people have neither the time nor the means to spend hours resear

I agree. If you've made a good app, its merit will stand on its own. The fact that people believe their age to be the most remarkable aspect of the development of their product raises flags. If any things, it just seems like an attempt to a

I am in agreement about the inclusion of JS. It's a much more widespread and accessible language. However, I disagree on the price suggestion. $15 is a non-trivial amount and, it seems as though this service offers a slight convenience, not
