LiMobile: create iPhone applications on Linux (without Xcode and Mac OS X)
http://en.opensuse.org/User:Cabelo/LiMobile
I share here the project and / or initiative dubbed LiMobile (Linux SDK for immobility). The main objective of this project is to provide the composition of the rapid development environment for mobile devices from Apple even for users with little knowledge in GNU / Linux platform. As its main focus is to prevent disorders package dependency and version mismatch.

in short, LiMobile believe to be the first image (appliance) GNU / Linux distribution based on openSUSE created with SuseStudio. Designed exclusively to provide freedom to develop applications for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad) without the need to get a Macbook, Mac OS X and Xcode.

Interviews of Successful Founders
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/327340187/disrupters-a-book-profiling-successful-entrepreneu
After leaving my job on Wall Street, I looked to the founders of top startups for advice. I am currently writing a book which features these entrepreneurs and how they overcame the "dark days" as they tried to execute their concept. For this book, I interviewed founders of Yipit, Techstars, Venture For America, Betterment, Dwolla, Bauble Bar and several others. I also interviewed key members of the teams behind Foursquare and Pinterest. I am currently running a Kickstarter campaign for additional support as I hire editors and designers. I would appreciate your feedback and support! Please check out the website to read more about the project! Thank you

Show HN: Yet another artsy text to image generator but in multiple languages
https://art.elbo.ai
I've always wanted to draw and paint but never had the talent to do it. Art class at school was always a messy experience for me, a more comical one than a creative one.

Now, creating art is so easy. You just type what you want, in any language you want, and just keep going... it's a very satisfying and very relaxing experience . I find myself keep trying to create something new, something cool or weird. It's a lot of fun .

I hope you can discover this new art form too, and create something new, strange, or beautiful.

Try us out, free, in any language at https://art.elbo.ai, and let us know how you felt when you did.

Show HN: Free online tool to capture video stills
https://outklip.com/capturestill
There’s no signup needed and it’s completely free. The tool can handle video files of up to 2GB.

The web app is useful for a couple things:

* grab visuals from videos for an email, report, etc.

* for youtubers, it’s useful for video thumbnails. Grab a video still from your YouTube video and use it on your thumbnail. Gives prospective viewers a glimpse of what’s in the video.

To use the tool: open a video file, select a time in the video and capture a still image

I’m using the following building blocks for this web app:

* vuejs/nuxt

* materialize css

* ffmpeg

* font awesome

Glad to field questions on the tool and the building process.

How I use python to start dissect the Jazz
http://pastebin.com/WkXqG88e
Note these number os occurrencies: D=32, G=29, A=21, Bb=25, B=25, C=25. This is a Blues in D. Because, we have some elements of Blues scale: The tonic note (D) is more present in the music, the third degree is G. And we have some elements of Bebop Scale: The sequence Bb, B and C have a lot occurrences in these places. In Bebop it's a common thing. So, All Blues is a mix of Blues and Bebop Jazz. Is that right?! ;-)

It’s all about touch technology now, but some things will never change.
Microsoft says two basic security steps might have stopped Conficker infections
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/042512-microsoft-conficker-258665.html?hpg1=bn
If businesses and consumers stuck to security basics, they could have avoided all cases of Conficker worm infection detected on 1.7 million systems by Microsoft researchers in the last half of 2011.

According to the latest Microsoft Security Intelligence report, all cases of Conficker infection stemmed from just two attack methods: weak or stolen passwords and exploiting software vulnerabilities for which updates existed.
How to make the most of my acceptance into UofC MBA as an aspiring entrepreneur?
I have attempted to launch two companies. Both of which did not gain traction, but I believe that what I have learned from my attempts was well worth the cost and time.<p>University of Chicago is ranked second among the top 25 College and Business Schools by Entrepreneur magazine.

Easy Hangout with your friends
http://www.happylous.com
Hi all,

We are two childhood friends, crazy about technology and with many dreams. We developed a free iphone app called Happylous and you can already download it from AppStore.

What is Happylous

It is an application which allows you to create, organize and share quickly hangouts with your friends. Forget the dozens of SMS, emails or the endless debates on Facebook. Just create a "hangout", specify time and place, send invitations to your friends and let them choose whether or not they will attend. Happylous also suggests places around you with happy hour, restaurants or nightlife spots, outdoors and more.

Is the ideal solution for all groups, especially now in the holiday season.

The Happylous is free and you can find it in the App Store here:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/happylous/id583654181?ls=1&mt=8

Private Beta Key for a new app maker
Not everyone can be a programmer. And not all programmers can make mobile apps. So, does that mean these people should not be able to make apps?
iCanApp.com is a new web tool that will go into private beta launch-mode later this week (on Friday, November 19th).
To receive a beta key and check out the new app maker, tweet - "give me the icanapp beta!" to @itsdeshazer and you can be the first to generate an app for your group or small business with the tool.
The cool thing about iCanApp is that it has been designed to be fun and easy.

I asked some questions about their translation crowdsourcing strategy in the comments below the article. I'd be interested to hear anyone else's experiences with translation as a lever for growth.
