I think the regrets come later, when people realize the time they have missed with other things, like friends or family.

Considering that the mobile space was a billion dollar industry before the iPhone ever existed, I'm going to say yes.

No, but they kinda put out the welcome sign, proudly touted their "60 Million Apps Downloaded!" statistic, and now they're saying, "thanks, you've done your job now go away."

Not to mention music publishers don't do a great job in this role of theirs you say they have, since there's still lots of crappy music out there. However, I doubt music publishers actually care, since having a crappy song in iTunes can sti

But a lot of the problems you mention, like "cluttering" and "impossible to find anything" are really problems with the App Store, not the apps. iTunes, after all, has millions of songs, and there doesn't seem to be a clutter problem there.

I think its a huge mistake. They could have taken care of the problem of tiny, silly apps with another method, like creating a separate category or revamping their review system. Instead they opened up a can of worms by creating a new categ

I write notes, which I generally consider my plan. It never ends up as a full fledged, fully written plan though. But I feel like I need to cover the basics, like who I would market to, how I would make money, some general estimates on how

If you get quicker, doesn't that give you time for more projects?

They don't control the apps, but they control their networks. Your theory only works if money can be made even when these fancy applications are being used. If a carrier loses money when people start using these apps (for example, maybe a V

I don't know. When you read the definition of what is notable, you can argue someone has a point. Useful? yes, Interesting? of course, Popular? definitely. But you have to dig deeper to decide if YC is notable. After some thought, I think i

Apple's between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they probably want to stick with their spiel of having a better experience, on the other hand, removing apps because they are just ugly or stupid would just crush creativity. I think

Ok, one of the suggestions is not to use design elements that get in the way of your visitors. However, this comes after the author fills up most of the top fold with ads that break up the article and force the user to find the next paragra

Unfortunately, this is a legitimate concern. You can't really sue someone for giving you subpar legal advice. It has to be really, really bad. And you would be surprised at how rare it is for a lawyer to lose a malpractice case. Doctors, su

If you don't know any lawyers, this is very tough. If you do know lawyers, then say "I'm debating starting a company, can I take you out to lunch and get your opinion on a few things?" Then take them out to lunch at a nice place, and ask th

Mixing isn't the right word. Its more losing track of who owns what and who owes what. Then when they ask you to prove something such as if it was your business taking the deduction, or if it was your business receiving the income, not you,

I don't know, it sounds like a sweet gig if Nos. 3,4 & 5 are the problem. I'd say start saving and keep the resume polished though. Oh, and steal your chair on the day it ends. :)

Good advice Micah. A lot of people think once they sign the LLC document they're magically protected and can just ignore it until something comes up. One of the advantages of LLC's over C-Corps is that they get rid of a lot of the formaliti

"You only need insurance when you need insurance" Ok, I just made that quote up, but its true. You can never really answer that question, because the people that paid for it and never used it would say it was a waste of capital, and the peo

Yeah, my advice was definitely for a one person company. Two people should get it done professionally. With one person the focus is on protecting yourself from others. With two or more, the focus is not only protecting the principals, but r

re: #2. Actually, that doesn't stop them either, only your willingness to sue them and the amount of money you have to sue them with does.
