Making Money With Affiliate Marketing Reviews
As a Google Adwords professional and full time online marketer making over $20,000 a month from affiliate marketing, I know the ins and outs of affiliate marketing. I also know how easy it is (or isn't) to make money with different affiliate marketing systems, especially for beginners.

Still way, way over on the left side. We don't even have off-Earth colonies yet. We're on the cusp of being able to support cities in orbit, colonies on Mars, the Moon, and asteroids, etc. It'll be a fun ride.
The argument for 24 frames per second is that:

a) adequate sound sync is maintained when projecting film

b) reducing the frame rate to the minimum humans need to perceive something as continuous motion leaves the maximum amount of detail "missing". This in turn produces a dream-like quality, and frees up the mind to spend brain cycles on non-visual things, like the story, acting, etc.

(a) is now outdated: we can get rock-solid sound playback at any frame rate today, thanks to digital projection. Personally, I find playback of 24fps material on a 60fps LCD monitor to be annoying – there's always that judder.

This makes me wonder if we shouldn't drop the frame rate further, to 20 fps. This would have a nice even multiple for our 60 fps LCD screens, and also maximize the dream-like quality we associate with films, but with zero judder.

Anyway, food for thought. :)
Will Google Drive Apps be limited to Chrome? Can anyone confirm if there is any way to run them on other browsers?

If not, then popularity of Drive Apps mean will make other browsers become less useful. There are many SMBs or individuals who would probably shift to Drive Apps for many day to day tasks and use mostly Chrome for that.

This clearly mentions only Chrome:

That's not the publisher's responsibility, but the distributor (Amazon/Apple/B&N). This is how the distributors will win our business - by offering us great services in addition to the actual content.

Think of how Apple will now let you re-download every TV Show you ever purchased from them onto your iPad. Likewise, Amazon will hopefully do a deal with the publishers that will let their customers re-download all the books they've purchased (in DRM-free format)

Agreed - quality does not always go with low prices. A moderately higher price like $9 would probably have the same sales number.

I can assure you that people do not always respond more to lower prices; they'll often associate the higher price with a better item.

Imagine for a moment that your million-dollar app on Amazon goes down. You file a ticket. They are currently absorbing a DoS attack, but they can't tell you that due to their privacy policy with the victim. So instead they tell you they are looking into it and it appears to be some kind of network issue.

Nine hours pass. You get frustrated. You take to Twitter. Anybody else on Amazon down? you ask. You get several people to confirm that they are. You tweet that it's an Amazon issue from your company Twitter. You start Googling alternatives. You write a blog post, months later, about how incompetent Amazon must be and you're so glad that you moved your million-dollar app to Rackspace Cloud. You make the front page of Hacker News. Hundreds follow you. Amazon gains a reputation for unreliability among those that read HN. Sales start decreasing.

Or, they null the customer and none of this happens.

There are a two main reasons why I wanted to make the eBook so cheap:

1) Think of the $1 eBook as a minimum viable product. I hypothesized that our visitors would be willing to pay us for premium content, but I wanted to test it first. Given how few people were willing to pay $1, I decided my hypothesis was wrong. I realize that sometimes raising the price can actually increase demand, but I really doubt that's the case here.

2) I didn't know how long the traffic spike would last, so I wanted to get something out as quickly as possible. There wasn't time to create a real eBook worth $30.

How about the breakdown of people who like it?

* People who think it actually looks good
* People trying to be so hipster they look down on hipsters who wax nostalgic about 24fps

Seriously, I have noticed the "too real to be cinematic" phenomenon since Blu-Ray and Spider-Man 3 came out. It looked like I was watching the people 3 feet away from me, and I don't feel like I'm watching a movie, I'm watching a Spanish soap opera.

I like 24 fps for the same reason I like deadtree books: the experience.
I got your point.

Lets say you develop a hobby for making furniture. You start developing Tables. You read a DIY book and start making stuff. In the meanwhile, you make mistakes, you don't put as many nails where there are necessary. You put more gum than what is necessary. Your finished product is definitely a table, but you've made is so badly it could hardly last for a couple of years.

A carpenter down the street comes down to you shop and gives a detailed critique of what he thinks is wrong with your table.

Now you both go and try to sell your story, You have a table and he just has a critique. The user comes and sees your table and listens to his critique. He decides something that exists is better that just talk. Remember the user is seeing the table only, he didn't see you making it. He decides to go with your table despite the carpenters critique.

He orders 50 more tables from you to be made based on what you showed it to him.

Now the professional carpenter can argue about how bad and how many technical deficiencies exist in your tables. But you know what, the user won't even understand that language.

Because, Shipping is a feature. And the one's who ship almost always win. Sometimes even if they ship crap.
That is what is happening here.

Good point. Then I blame upstreams.
I learned that myself when I was contacted by a trademark attorney about a potential violation of a trademark of a company that we were friends and partners with. I called the company directly, got the CEO on the line and asked WTF. He didn't even remember the law firm. They had used it to file a trademark years earlier.

The law firm filed with ICANN and took a domain name that we had that I had freely offered to our partners whenever they were ready to use it. I tried to transfer the domain to the partner but the lawyer had already taken it, and held it hostage for the payment of the legal bill! They still have it.

You have to be very clear with lawyers where their work ends or they'll make-work you to get a few more hours and make you look like an ass in the process.

Thanks, I'll definitely check those out. I've used Commission Junction before with the Groupon affiliate program and the terrible UI drove me away, but now that there's real traffic I guess it's worth giving it another shot.

The hardest part is finding affiliate programs that sell the things my mom actually uses in her posts. I don't think either of us would be willing to recommend products that she isn't using. Amazon is great for that since they sell pretty much everything that's ever been made.

As a publisher I am able to opt out of DRM with all the majors like Amazon and Apple, but there is no indication that my book is DRM-free, nor a way to search for DRM-free books on their stores. I wish there were.

I can imagine a scene in the next book about that kind of stuff...

"Here you go," said Count Modulo, "That is the lock, and that is the key."

"So the key opens the lock?" Lauren asked.

"Oh yes, but you can't open it."

"Why not?"

I used to work in libraries for awhile and there's a pretty wide range of things this is useful for.

Lot's of interesting data analysis similar to what people are doing with google n-gram data for culturomics[0]. For example since you have publication year and subject heading you can look at the shift in popularity of certain subjects over time. I remember for fun I once plotted the life spans of various people by there area of research (art, math, sciences etc) it was interesting because there did seem to be some trends.

If you're doing any text classification research you now have a great way to label data if you just have title and author data. Or if you have texts with poor metadata you might be able to use this set to clean that up.

For libraries themselves I would love to see some machine learning approaches to cleaning up messy records, or just replace bad records with good one directly.

The big thing is that this is a very large set of curated bibliographic metadata from a reputable source. If you have any large project related to books (directly or indirectly) this could be a huge asset

As a user, why do you want them? They are of no value to you unless sites or apps that you value are making use of them, and few production sites use most of the bleeding edge tech that supposedly justifies the rapid release cycle.

A lot of that tech is of more interest for app-like pages rather than classical web sites, but then you start running into portability issues: not every browser has a fast cycle, and those that do aren't necessarily including the same features at the same pace. That means everyone needs to code a fallback approach anyway unless it's acceptable for their product to support only specific browsers. Once you start down that path, the core functionality is probably there for your users even if you don't then reimplement it a second time or add enhancements using the new technologies.
Steal This Idea: Lock Screen Emergency Contact

Film was shot at 24fps, a compromise between limiting motion effects while saving on film.

Each frame is actually projected twice in a film projector because you would see flicker at 24fps so the brightness/number of images is the same. It's just that at 48fps each is different
Anti-competition laws (in the US at least) only take effect where a company 1. has a monopoly or near-monopoly in a market and then 2. abuses that position to keep out or disadvantage competitors.

The laws don't apply to Google here because there's significant competition (SkyDrive, iCloud, Dropbox and others) so no monopoly. And Google is also fine in markets like search where they are the dominant player unless they start doing dumb things like penalising companies for advertising on other search engines.

You made the absolute right decision, and anybody that is saying otherwise hasn't been in your position. The good of the many over the good of the one; that's hosting.

The operational awareness in this comment makes me wish everybody would print it out as an example of a tough call to make in defense of your brand.
Look, if the guy wasn't taking money for it, I'd be completely supportive. Trying stuff, MVP, and all that. Great angle for a game, great way to get started. Clearly a smart go getter.

But to use your analogy, the man has ordered 50 tables, not knowing they're likely to fall apart. The seller never revealed his lack of experience. At the end of it, we're just going to say caveat emptor?

That just doesn't sit well with me.

And I definitely agree with you that shipping stuff is #1, but I'm not sitting around idly by criticizing the work of makers. Every dollar I've made in the last 8 years has been from games, and only 2% of it or so from contract work. My own attempt at building a community around preorders has been more successful:

And I'd made 12 commercial games, some that set me up financially for years, before I felt comfortable being in a position to take peoples money before they've played the product.

Right now there are one or two posts per week. My mom used to post more regularly but we found that it's more effective to focus on quality rather than quantity. It's generally pretty easy to predict in advance which posts will be popular, so she just puts more effort into those and leaves out the filler.

> Black and white, sepia-tone, deliberate flicker and visual noise

Those are merely effects, and usually gimmicky ones at that. A better example would be something like Kubrick's Barry Lyndon[1]:

"The cinematography and lighting techniques Kubrick used in Barry Lyndon were highly innovative. Most notably, interior scenes were shot with a specially adapted high-speed f/0.7 Zeiss camera lens originally developed for NASA. Many scenes were lit only with candlelight, creating two-dimensional, diffused-light images reminiscent of 18th-century paintings."

The best filmmakers obsess over these kinds of details. If I remember correctly, Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures goes into more detail about the techniques Kubrick used in Barry Lyndon[2].

ACM Members: It's Time to Vote for Open Access
I get a big scary message telling me that most apps won't work without Chrome.
Given that Google's charging for Drive and not G+, it kind of seems like the other way around.

There's always a risk a company will either shut down a business (Symbian, Wave, MySpace, Delicious), or go out of business (Chumby), or get bought and have their business shutdown (Sidekick, Drop.io). I don't think you can really know the future enough to make product choices based on the chance that will happen.
This is a good idea. Currently, I use an image I've created as my lock screen wallpaper that has an emergency contact phone number and email in case something is wrong or I've lost my phone. The idea proposed would render that unnecessary.
It's more that the game feels unresponsive, pressing left or right takes a few seconds for the character to move, and when there are many enemies on screen you can't move him at all.
