Offtopic: does anyone else think about Google Plus when (s)he sees that top bar? Ontopic: I love the idea of this product. User feedback solutions are something that I've always needed to implement myself, and never as comprehensive or comp

How do these work ? Do they project on the lens, or on your retina ? Is there any possibility these might be good for people who already wear glasses?

when I posted my comment the reddit post wasn't edited to say that it's a rate liming bug. Indeed, nobody is going to buy such a thing. Pretty useless for any kind of purposes, black-hat or not.

There are security companies that buy these kind of information from you (like antivirus companies), so that they can patch the breaches themselves and proudly announce they discovered a breach and only by using their software you can be pr

So, guilty until proven innocent, is this how things work now ? What if I go now on facebook, create an account, use the name Rick Stratton and start posting random, "incriminating" stuff all over the internet, what then ?

I chose the 500k+ range, because that's what one of my apps (main project, not side project) gets, but that is the exception. The answer to "is the money good?" should also be obvious. However, the norm for me, for personal side-project app

Like Notch said... "you are an insane idiot!". What did the CEO of OMGPOP had to gain from making those remarks ? He surely didn't expect the world to take his side.. Even if Shay Pierce really was "the weakest link of the team", you just d

For what it's worth, versions newer than android 2.2 do have features that are worth using. My personal favorite is hardware accelerated graphics. That really does make the phone's UI feel as snappy as the one on iOS. Then there's the supp

App Sales != App Revenue There are tons of apps on the Android market which make loads of money from advertising alone. Flurry doesn't track that. The model Amazon's AppStore uses is entirely different to the one Google Play uses: the appst

To be fair, it's the westerner's fault their apps, games and websites don't catch on in the east. Do some research, see what chinese people want, what the usually like, and tailor a version of your product which fits the description. Don't

Like the guy said, he lost a job. Nothing more. A developer from a company that was bought for >$200 million surely won't have a problem finding a job somewhere else if he wants (not to mention he also worked for Blizzard). He deserves

Paypal once froze my account too (it had about $3000 in it then). I got it solved over the phone in about a week, but the customer service was really really hard to work with. And here's an anecdote: When I called the customer service for t

It's been constant for me, absolutely no weird change. about 5% drop on the 7th, with a 10% increase on the 8th, but that's a completely normal variation.

it's still been 3.5 years since the Android Market went live for the first time. It's certainly enough time for any decent company (not to mention Google) to handle these kinds of things. Edit: google has Google Adsense, which can send paym

Android 2.2+ is not that bad, feature-wise. And with the release of several compatibility packages, it's rather easy to make app that run on more than 90% of the available Android devices. APIs haven't changed that much from 2.2 to 4.0, for

Depends on the nature of the startup and your development lifecycle. If you do rapid development, I would go with Android first, iterate very fast based on the feedback from your first batches of users, make decisions based on any usabili
