We went through a very similar phase for our startup which is also about developing iPhone/desktop/web apps. We have a lot of shiny features in our apps like syncing across platforms, real time percentile scores, meetup features, turning th

Currently the system is being gamed by developers posting updates without any real updates to take advantage of this. It annoys the hell out of me when I get updates every week for apps which dont have anything new adding on to them because

Almost everyone is doing this on the appstore including the big names. Moreover, I am just astonished by the fact that apple is still letting developers game the system by allowing the developers to change the availability date with new upd

I am not sure whether this article will get flagged or not, but I agree completely with you on this. I watched it last friday and wasn't even sure what this movie was about. For the first half an hour I was cursing myself that why did I cam

It can also provide a wrong sense of security which might turn out to be more harm than good for a normal customer. Providing a track record will be extremely helpful IMHO.

Neat idea. I think it will be really useful if you provide a track record of what percentage of your predictions are right. Otherwise, this service is mostly going to be useful to business customers who buy flexible tickets. Someone like me

and the strange thing with this is that everyone agrees education industry needs major innovation but not much VC funding is being poured into it in spite of huge (billions) opportunity.

I really like the #4 and #6 mainly because we are working on both. :) I totally believe that education industry needs a makeover because it is extremely fragmented and highly inefficient with very less innovation.

by ujjwalg 17y ago
this looks very innovative... you should probably open or develop an api for this which can be used by others to develop more functionality over it... good luck!!

Another thing I really liked is I dont need to register and it will remember my preferences, I am not sure how, though.

Seriously, this is awesome. I love it. 1) Autoplay in my dictionary is fine, it saves me time to figure out what to do next. 2) and 3) +1 4) -1 Question: are you planning to monetize it? if so, how? what about copyright?

I am finishing up my PhD and I have a very direct analogy to what PG mentions. There are multiple research groups with different success rates and what I have noticed is groups with extremes are not doing that well. By extremes I mean profe

he is bad!! I saw him in the olympics and i noticed he was not even giving his 100% and won all the awards and broke all the records. I haven't seen this one but am pretty sure he will break this record too. He is michael phelps of running.

Thanks for the link and wealth of information here. My startup is actually developing products related to standardized tests. This will come in handy. I was completely unaware of Google Insights. It looks very comprehensively and intelligen

Given, we are talking about Ben Franklin, I would be more inclined towards The Public Good rather than "meaningful" in reference to himself. And that is the reason I avoid good in my questions because my questions relate to "meaningful" to

I have tried doing "what have I done today and what shall I do tomorrow" in that order, right before I go to sleep. It works amazing whenever I do it. I just need to do it everyday.

I believe he is. However, I believe a lot of news organizations/blog owners are trying to do it these days. They will have very controversial/eye catching headlines with no substance in the article to gain more traction. Dvorak is a few ste

This is a very good start IMO. I think they should try to monetize these websites and run like a corporation and then lower the taxes side-by-side. I dont see a reason why they should not. People will be paying money from all around the wor

I think you are right. I tried it and it takes the snap the very millisecond you click on it which means it is caching it. Awesome!!!

I am sure iPhone does that too, because as a developer we get crash reports of our apps. However, I don't think that apple sends this information through internet, I think it does it when you sync your iPod/iPhone.

I agree with most of the comments that it seems like a spam tool and using twitter in domain name was not probably a good idea. However, I consider the approach that twitter took to be rather an extreme. They should have made an initial mov

The fact that they have made a choice to increase their profits while compromising on user convenience is a completely opposite direction of what google was based upon IMO. Google is a company I used to look to whenever I had to think of a

I have been noticing it too many times at too many places these days. Especially on big news network like CNN/ESPN. They will have completely misleading title for the post just to grab attention.
