Who is your target customer here? I would assume that most digital photographers already know how to watermark their images. Maybe you should target to more the mom/pop/kids variety? Looks good otherwise :)

I like the idea - I myself run into lots of times where I am looking for random statistics that I need for a presentation, report, etc. Few things to consider: - I like a freemium/subscription model. Even if the freemium model only allows t

If the average user karma is periodically raised, and downvoting privileges are somewhat based upon this, then over time does it become more difficult to become an influential member?

Right, processing the Siri commands locally instead of on a server might require more CPU horsepower that the iPhone 4 cannot handle. Just my best guess as a non-iPhone4S upsell reason for it being iPhone 4S only. The fact that it requires

I would guess that Apple will now use the phone to handle most of the Siri computations, and that in this old Siri app it was being done server side. This is why 4S is required. Having the app out there for a while likely gave Siri great us

Don't give up on sites like Elance. Don't be afraid to ask what you are worth for. If you take the time, find the right clients, and make the right pitch, you will get paid. Pick a niche and go with it.

Think Instragram on this - insanely compelling viral aspect.

So I actually tried out this service today for the company I am working at. I do not see much value being created from the current offering. Sure, it makes a pretty page and gives you analytics for people being sent to that particular page.

Try collaborative. "Social network" is such an annoying word.

Are there alternatives for Neo4j? Looking to implement some type of tagging system and want to explore all the options...

Awesome idea. It would be like a reddit, where only top +1ed articles/shares would pop to your stream. A selective algo

Are you a price comparator or just a search engine? I would find that if you compared the available options against each other (ex is it cheaper for me to buy from iTunes or Amazon?) it may be more useful.

I feel like there should be an HN community wiki. I myself have a ton of these same type of questions.

Advertisements particularly for local businesses are limited in their ability to track conversion. If a user sees an ad on Yelp, for example, there is no good way of telling if the ad converted or not - that is that the user saw the ad and

I'd be interested to hear from software developers what can actually be done at a web app level. Can we eventually have a fully functional Photoshop webapp? Take a look at a company called Kaviza (recently bought by Citrix). They have been

On the other hand, Square requires a merchant to have particular hardware to receive payments (swiper), this method does not. Good point on the CNP vs CP though, I never knew about that.

Two ways to pivot with this that I can think of: 1) Flash sale deals - short term sales at businesses. 2) Better monitoring of demand so that prices can be intelligently adjusted. More like market research for businesses trying to figure ou

Just to play devil's advocate: Who says the PC industry is doomed? I think with Apple's recent announcement on what they envision cloud computing to be, I think that one can still argue that OS is still in the forefront. If PCs were doomed,

I think the problem is that internet users have generally become accustomed to the idea that written content, especially news, on the internet should be free (supported by ad revenue). When ad revenue cannot support high quality writing, th

Looks good, I would move the content where you talk about what a fake button is higher on the page so it is seen on first load (I know this depends on the resolution of the user). Maybe even include an actual fake button on the front page.

Can an editor or someone with more knowledge on how the site works comment here? It seems unreasonable for users to end up without the ability to post/comment (as long as they are not spammers or repeatedly posting extremely low content). I

Are these bugs fairly common? Is there no way of writing an IE "spell checker" - meaning that you throw code at it and it makes it IE compatible?

What do you hope to get out of a degree that you don't have already?

Which begs the bigger question, why hasn't any single ad network dominated the mobile space, like Adsense did for non-mobile space?

I think it comes back to active daily use. The author mentions revenue spikes coinciding with installs, so I think its reasonable to conclude that users used the app after they installed and did not return again.

Done, good luck. Kind of like a personalized hotel experience? To be honest, I only care about price vs star rating. Might want to start with a very specific niche - like honeymoon packages and move from there.

It would be interesting to set '9.95 a minute' as the SSID and leaving the network open.
