Why would it appear smaller unless Amazon wanted it to be? It will just appear sharper at smaller sizes. My iPhone is much smaller than either device and has much higher resolution (326ppi!). Text looks great and is sized just fine.
Thanks for the suggestions! RE: the PS, my friend and I were just discussing this. That was my biggest issue, that my judgement would be clouded or that people might believe that my judgement was being clouded.
How to get 50% discount on Swisscom’s hotspot (and possibly also others)
Awesome site man. Wondering if you'd considered a revenue model? I checked for affiliate links before coming here and seeing your post.
$100K for fresh college grads is par for the course in Seattle too, so it's not just SV.
dcpdx, thanks for the kinds words!

I am very excited about the possible implications, if this solution really fits the bill, as you've described. My coworkers and I have definitely experienced the same problems. [As a side note, just in using the app while developing it, it's done a lot for me (even just from easing the mental block of not wanting to deal with a litany of emails)].

Americans do not pay $89, they pay $89 + tax. Any time you see a price for Americans, remember that they do not include tax in their final prices. The equivalent here for you is the import duties.

Your comparison is still apt, but the apples-to-apples comparator is $89 to $119 (I'd exclude shipping too - international shipping is harder to get nicer deals on than domestic shipping)
I don't have my copy of Tableau handy any more (using a Mac now) but I suspect that some of the map visualizations would probably be very interesting for visualizing these salary rates both spatially and maybe temporally depending on if there is trending data.

We saved some money before quitting. We're staying with friends (paying rent) to save costs on housing. But we live in SF, so it's still pretty expensive. In the Mission, you can get tacos for cheap, and, hey, they're pretty good. :)

For marketing – not much. Relying on blogs, forums, word of mouth, featured promotions in the App Store and in Android Market (and in Windows Phone 7). We bought a few ads, but they weren't super effective. Focusing on marketing is something we will do for our next game, but since we're strapped for cash it's hard to compete with the social farming gaming behemoths in terms of climbing the ranks through advertising.
Google And Samsung Announce October 11 Event: Nexus Prime Imminent
There's not an official, supported way (though I wouldn't be surprised if someone has cooked up a hack for this). To be clear, you are aware of the Kindle app for the iPad, right?
Over 1 million. ;)

Great for two people. Not enough for much more. Let's see what happens after we release additional content, in-app purchases, and another game! We have some tricks up our sleeves and we love making our players happy.

We have an ad in the free Android version that users can remove by completing an in-app purchase for 99 cents. So we make a little bit of money from each Android user.

I hope we keep pleasing our users and making more money so we can build more great games.
Nice. Wasn't sure if people would realize that. Unfortunately, this was a project that was abandoned after being about 80% complete due to other stuff getting in the way.
Mad Men’s Don Draper Pitches Facebook’s Timeline
Great! Apple featured us for a while and it really helped. We soon dropped from the ranks since we can't afford to pump money into advertising like the other mobile game behemoths can. We are releasing the free version and an expansion pack soon, so we hope to reach more users this way!
This looks like a promising concept. I'd love to give it a spin to try and clean up my mail headache.

It's exciting and also deeply disturbing. I agree with all the positive benefits.

But after a while I think there's a real tendency to just reduce people to a set if metrics in your mind. It seems scary to me that the more "connected" we are we are often just self-selecting or being selected into some group based on patterns.
ShowHN - bookmarklet to rearrange comments by time

Obviously it depends on personal taste and use, but I think the Touch has a couple of serious deficiencies compared with the others. First, I believe that battery life isn't as good, although I could be wrong on that one. Second, it's impossible to play, pause, or switch tracks without actually looking at the thing unless you're using a compatible headset. Plus the storage space you mention.

I think the Touch and iPhone are more than adequate for the task, but they're not quite as good as the pure iPods, and that functionality is completely eclipsed by their other capabilities. I haven't used an iPod since getting an iPhone either, but that's just because it suffices, not because it's equally good.
I personally know this to be false. Over 2 years ago, I deleted my facebook account. Approximately 6 months later, I accidentally got auto logged in by LastPass when I clicked a link and ended up on the FB login page. It simply welcomed me back with all my data intact.

I'm quite sure that I went through the deletion process, then waited far more than the "14 day" requirement.

Nothing, really. But, there are a bazillion guides on using git from a developer's standpoint but few (if any) on how to switch over a production codebase.

Am I reading that right? 100k lifetime value seems to be near the top end of what you can expect from one app. A reasonable salary at a normal job for a senior-level developer is near or a little better than that. If you want to succeed better than you could by working for someone it seems like you either need to be completely serious about releasing new games every 3-6 months(and release hits constantly), or, maybe, not write games (do business apps fare better?)

Has anyone tried the minecraft approach on the app store?
Since you have an NDA just let them make their product, if it succeeds you can sue them into oblivion, and you get all the money they make. They are going to be your very own unpaid employee. Think of it as a hedge, if you fail and they succeed, you still succeed.
Thanks for the kind words, Jonathan. I'd love for it to clean up your mail headache too!
Firefox follows a convention where the actual binary is firefox-bin and launcher is just firefox. Lots of other nix apps do this, especially statically linked apps. If I had seen crayon-bin and crayon, I would have tried crayon first; however, I just read the ls until crayon and launched that directly, only seeing launcher on second examination. I know that you're not supposed to launch x-bin directly, it usually has a launcher script named just x.
I'm sure the author of the posting could simply donate to the dev via paypal. It's similar to those "rich" people who are demanding to pay higher taxes. That's a nonsense argument because they can donate to the US Treasury just as a dev could donate to the TextMate guy. I am tired of people suggesting to other people how to spend everyone else's money. If you want to pay more -- do it yourself.

For the rest of us, I'll pay what I'm required and donate if I feel so inclined. I'd personally rather donate to the Tiny Wings guy simply because paying $60 for a text editor is fairly steep, if you aren't getting the version 2 update for free. And Tiny Wings has better music. Logic Studio is only $299, compared to a text editor's $60 and Xcode is free. The amount of coding that went into Logic is light years beyond TextMate, but Apple knows that if they charged $1000 for it (a fair price based on feature set, they'd lose more revenue than charging $299.) I'm not a business school guy, but I do know a thing or two about demand elasticity. Try charging $4.99 for an app in the App Store and charge $1.99 -- you'll make more money at $1.99, unless it's some highly niche product; TextMate is far from highly niche. It's ubiquitous.

I have paid for TextMate and have no problems doing so, but I'll be damned if some jackass suggests that we should pay more. That's a business decision to be made by the TextMate dev, not some user who likely has very little experience in selling software to the public. No offense to anyone, but based on the posting, it appears that the author has little understanding of demand curves, not to mention contractual agreements.
I am using tumblr for my personal blog (http://blog.anujkumar.com). It is easy, simple and does the job well. Theme customization is easier than that of wordpress.

Yes, it's a lot to learn when you're running a startup, and the idea of scaring off a purchase seemed the worse thing that could have happened but in retrospect we should have held out for a fee.
My wife hasn't picked up a laptop since we got the iPad at Christmas. She uses the iPad daily. More than I do. And she's the one who gave it to me. Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and a Cr-48 and use them both daily. I also have a TouchPad that neither of us use. (tangent: I really hope cyanogen mods gets ice-cream sandwich running on touchpad).
Most of the world doesn't need an ssh client, they hardly type much at all, don't care that they can put uber-linux 2.8.7.rockin-beta.rc18 on it, never hook anything more than a camera up to it and, well, yes, there is the money bit.

I'm a developer and the last thing I want when i'm relaxing on the couch, on a trip, etc. is a laptop that gets hot, has a tiny screen, and has a horrible form factor for consuming the tubes. The Fire is a credible alternative for most of that with the possible exception of casual gaming (which i love to do).
Xcode is my "main development tool." And it was free.
Couldn't agree more.

No matches _is_ a result. I don't go use a search engine because I must click on a link, any link. I go there to find _relevant_ information. If there isn't any, tell me & I can get on with my day.

Sorry, why is radio a relevant comparison? When I listen to the radio, I listen to songs that are selected by the radio station. I don't get to play any song I want as often as I want. The correct comparison is not with radio but with an mp3 download. Radio didn't stop people needing to buy an album/single if they wanted to listen to a song. Spotify does.

(I also note that the amount referred to in this article is the amount given to songwriters. Not all musicians are songwriters.)
But how does a pushy email from a founder prove this in any way? Doesn't call TechCrunch's credibility into question at all. (Also, check the update on the original article--the email was apparently sent to VB, not an accidental TC misaddress.)
I think it may increase initial confusion when first learning jQuery however a thorough tutorial explaining the differences/similarities and reasoning behind the event names would ideally clear up any confusion. Although the easiest path to understanding how to use the calls for daily use would be to have the user forgo all old event methods and just focus on using .on and .off (assuming they'll never have to use a jQuery version less than 1.7 which is unlikely).
Thanks, this makes sense. We're documenting everything we can think of.

So I got downvoted based on a comment that alleged the data in the graphic was wrong but provided no data to demonstrate that? The link later on the thread that does include some data shows that the songwriter (not artist) earns $0.00017 per listen.

Can someone explain how this makes the data in the infographic grossly wrong?
I'm right there with you, but unless they're your target audience, it really doesn't matter what they think. Being an entrepreneur is kind of like having a really obscure hobby. Unless the people you meet are into the same stuff (i.e. vintage trampoline collecting), they can only reasonably only have so much interest (and tolerance) for your weirdness.
I haven't tried it myself but I think you may try Ubuntu Windows Installer (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer).

This is what they say on their website :

If you’ve got Windows, you can run Ubuntu within your current system with the Windows installer (Wubi). That way, you can install and uninstall Ubuntu in the same way as any other Windows application. It's simple and safe.

The entire process certainly was valuable, even in just forcing us to take a good look at our business plan and just know that we really believe in ourselves.
No, no, you misunderstand me. Tablets are absolutely superb at consuming content. I make no bones about that. I have an Android phone that is used almost exclusively for consuming content and I picked up a TouchPad to surf the web with on my balcony. I just don't get the people here trying to act as if they're productive with their iPad in a way that is impossible to do on the Fire.
I took a quick look at the map view of this data and couldn't really come up with anything compelling to show, although a time series of bubble sizes could definitely be interesting.
You can get SSH clients for iPad. If you need a keyboard, Apple sells one for the iPad and they and several other manufacturers make bluetooth keyboards that are perfectly adequate.

I chose not to go that route because I wanted more power and storage. But it was definitely under consideration.
There is a book about the benefits of exercise on the brain. Studies have found exercise to be useful for a lot of brain problems, everything from dementia to depression. As the author puts it, if exercise could be put in a pill it would be considered a miracle drug.

No, not at all. I'm going with (hopefully) good parenting and crossing my fingers on that one. ;) It's preventing the "accidentally wandering into questionable content" that I'm interested in, in search results, etc.

I'm not so much even worried about protecting her from the "questionable content" because I think that's something she needs to learn to deal with (though we do of course have rules about what is and isn't allowed). I just don't want her stumbling across it on a tablet in her bedroom, where we won't notice and can't offer guidance or discussion.

We have a computer in the living room that she uses for internet access and we don't have any filtering software, etc. on it. It's just out in the open, so generally supervised.

Rock-climbing is good. However, I have found that if you lack a baseline of fitness, you won't get a whole lot out of it in terms of pleasure- at least for bouldering. For example, recently I bouldered for a month or two, and reached a point where I could do easy tracks with relative ease, but medium-difficulty tracks were for all intents and purposes impossible. My right arm and my pinch grip were simply not up to snuff, and when they aren't good enough to use on the rock I can't develop them through use!

Anecdotally, it seems like a great sport to hone and maintain your physiquie, and perhaps motivate you to develop it, but it does not seem to stand alone well for developing.

(I'm in decent shape; some examples of the holds that stopped me cold were hanging on an inverted face from pinch grips, and tricky holds where the face is again steeply inverted, your hand is by your waist, and you pull your chest up against the rock with that hand. Just not even slightly within my abilities)
Advertising Vitamin D as a "miracle vitamin" is sketchy behavior, as would calling wheat a "miracle grain."

They really shouldn't release these bundles that often. Last bundle had some really great games. And they included an earlier bundle. It was around 10 games. For this one all you get is Frozen Synapse. Personally, I was never really interested in that game. Maybe if they released a proper bundle with a lot of variety, I'd be willing to put down some money. I only played 3 or so games from the last bundle even though I had access to 10. I wasn't interested in the other 7.

I think "laptop replacement" isn't talking about me and you, it's talking about my mom who spends all her time on facebook or email and casual games and doesn't do a whole lot of other things.

I can use google docs on my iPad, I can type emails, I can consume. That's about all 80% of home computer users need generally, so that's why it's a laptop replacement. Not sure you'll have a lot of luck making a presentation on a Fire or updating a spreadsheet, but those things are doable on an ipad even if they are a little cumbersome. (80% obviously made up!)

By far the biggest win is probably replacing dozens of TCP sockets with one streaming connection for loading content.

After that, shrinking images, and maybe offloading some CPU (JS compilation, layout).

The "browser cache" story is less clear to me. Caching is an imperfect science. Some resources can't be cached, or the server doesn't it make it clear they can. On the other hand, the most "popular" resources may already be served by CDNs with very low latency compared to your wireless connection. Plus, does the iPhone really suffer from a shortage of cache? A shortage of RAM, sure, which is why tabs are frequently evicted, but how much cache do you really need? Safari on my desktop only has 180 MB in cache, which my iPhone could easily store.

Firstly, this is not investagitive journalism. It's mere information.

Secondly, if a news source reported everything there is to know, then there would be just one news source. Given the time/spatial constraints not everything that needs to be reported gets reported by a news source.

In order to stay relevant, most sources want to be the first to report. If they can also sign exclusivity, then what better deal than that. They promise they will say something, not what they will say.
