Really? Sarcasm and absurdity are great ways to talk about meta-anything.

They make up very generic rules and selectively enforce them whenever they view some app / service as directly competing with Apple's own offering. See: The initial Apple - Google spat with google voice, Kindle - Apple, Dropbox - Apple. The

Indeed. Police don't seem to have a problem when animal rights activists protest fur by going around naked.

Awesome! Would be great if it had an API and let us include the service in our apps. Although .. not exactly sure how that would work.

"forthy" ! What in the world can they do to make money to justify such a high valuation? Sell filters !?

I agree. "Clean" in terms of design seems to have become a word that's tossed about without too much meaning attached to it. Whatever claims other you make (faster return times, less time spent on search results what not), there is no way i

I agree with this. Subjective opinions etc., but I think the animations on the mac, although they start pretty much instantaneously when you click, take time to finish and so the actual process of clicking -> window coming up / folder o

Agree. But I've been wondering what exactly do people want with a "Device ID"? I've changed my code to generate a new GUID and save it to NSUserDefaults. Sure, it doesn't persist even across app reinstalls, but so what? I maintain it as a

You're getting it wrong I think. I work in healthcare IT and many EMRs are getting on the mobile bandwagon and building out mobile clients that let you do this. Additionally, hospitals require doctors to put in diagnosis / treatment notes i

Same with me. I saw 2.99 and I thought, totally worth it and then I saw the version with the PSD at 5.99. Figured, might as well.

How are you checking for this? Just tweaking the URL to www.google.com/events/io/2012/ ? I think writing a simple python script that can schedule a push notification to my phone via BoxCar will help.

Hmm, didn't Google announce when the registration was going to open last year? EDIT: I say this because I have a meeting coming up very soon. It'd be a disaster if the registration opens in the next few minutes and finishes before my meetin

I don't agree with this. Lets flip it the other way round and compare it with technology today. Lots of research labs have made AR Goggles and they've been featured in lots of movies / sci-fi. But lets say the google goggles are a hit and A

I'd like to know this too, considering you have stuff coming up in Orlando which none of the SV startups care about usually.

A much more elegant way (I believe) is to have it in software as an Android / iOS app. There are quite a few apps that force you to solve a simple math question / puzzle. You could always put your phone somewhere away from your bed. At one

As someone who's been through this process recently, I've never understood why car buying has to be this way. The whole process has a sleazy feel of I'll try to rip you off by as much as I can get away with. Car prices go lower as you reach

Honestly, I just published it to the App Store yesterday after procrastinating for a while. So lets see :)

This might be true for building businesses, but I've started out trying to build a fun app in a day because I wasn't happy with anything on the App Store and it worked out quite well. It took more than a day, but it was a fun experiment an

I don't get it. When did programmers and reddit / 4chan users become the same? If anything, this article speaks about the power of the internet in general, nothing to do with programmers.

One more thing: Not a founder, but people say startups have incredible highs and equally bad lows. Would you really want the possibility of loosing everything playing on your mind during one of those lows? Huge chance that it'll become a se

I don't agree to this. Stewart does a whole bunch of political commentry and lots of people treat it as real satire (me included).

I think a tempered approach with all the sites blacking out their logos in protest to SOPA and redirecting to a page that details why SOPA is wrong in an accessible way is the way to go.

But if there was hypothetically a law that was good for wikipedia and bad for the people in general, then should they just keep quiet? I'll protest because it impacts me isn't such a viable strategy. You either protest everything that is "w

Just. Wow. Mind boggling amounts of stupidity. "In the second meeting with the same executives in late November, Mr. Sibal told them that he expected them to use human beings to screen content, not technology, the executive said. The three

Okay, weird, possibly unrelated story I guess. I've been thinking about this problem a lot. Especially in the context of travelling and exploring new places. I was originally thinking along the lines of businesses offering experiences but a
