I believe you're right. Most inspiration comes to me when I'm thinking about what I dislike, and how I could make it better. (i.e. "dammit! the pizza is late where's MY PIZZA")

It depends on your budget. If you have next to nothing, then you should also grow with the technical knowledge required.

If you can, do freelancing. You've got an amazing and exciting portfolio. Go find a local business who could do with an update of their existing website, or ask if they need some software to make their lives a bit easier. If they ask what y

I originally thought the same, but you should remember that they've developed this a wee bit differently than other models. It's based on friendships (Facebook after all) and Facebook credits. So I'm guessing that if suddenly all my friends

Most probably. I've spent the last 4 months simply getting a value to be sent from a custom application to a medical billing system . . . Nice review, it was relevant to my interests.

This is why many experienced entrepreneurs tell you to ask someone who has money, or a business owner if there's anything you could do to improve their life... because they'll be your first customer, and they'll be spreading the word about

"... get a trusted developer you know to give you an opinion on it" That's the only way I can see it working. I also suggest in looking around for a test you can hand them, i.e. the FizzBuzz test. If their answer looks the same as your answ

If it's not displayed, how can I tell where the 'activity' is happening, so to speak? Does this mean I have to read each comment carefully(!), and ponder the comment in a large psychological way(?!) ;-)

I, for one, probably wouldn't try to take on Facebook. They're pretty big and scary - especially that big Zuckerburg meanie :(

Am I the only one who doesn't believe the $25 drop is worth it? If it was something like, $50 or $75 then yes it would totally be worth it.

I did something like this when I was drunk, basically you paste in the lyrics of a song, and there's two text-boxes for choosing a word you want to change, and then the word you want to change. i.e. I'm on a boat (Lonely Island) could be: I

The place I work for makes medical software for administration type stuff at family practices etc. We can't even host our -own- apps, because of privacy concerns. We have to make it, and deploy it on their servers in a local environment. Jo

I'd say yes... Look at all the crazy acquisitions recently. The offer from Google to buy Path, Groupon trying to buy UseHipster... Facebook's $50 billion valuation. If it's not a small bubble, I don't know what the hell it is. I mean, if it

WTF kind of question is this? And the answers?! "2. They know lots of things other than what they’re specialised in. Theirs is the gift of a broad mind, constantly fed with the stimulant of being interested in what everyone else is doing."

My old boss was a lot like this. It turned into incredibly narrow tunnel-vision, which ended up sucking anything creative/fun from the company. You really need social interaction, and interaction that isn't related to work to succeed.
