"More reasonable" points exactly to what I'm talking about. If the demand for this offer is so intense their servers melt down for hours on end it seems this is pointing to a huge opportunity the rest…
comment
All their server issues must mean they are dealing with unprecedented demand. It makes me wonder: When demand is THIS intense for a 75% off sale, you think it'd mean a more optimal "normal" price poin…

The only sale is for the personal edition - so your boss' approval wouldn't help anyways. ;)

On the one hand I can see where you're coming from - charity can very often be done as a self-serving way to justify other evils. Kind of like the dad who out of guilt for never being home buys his ki…

I'm getting a bit miffed at the comments talking about this being a "PR move" or helpful for a "tax break". Did I read this wrong or did it not say 500. MILLION. dollars? The cynicism must be pretty d…

I came here to post almost exactly this. This happens regularly with the big sites - some idiot lawyer writes an overly cautious ToS change, everyone gets up in arms about it, the site writes an apolo…

The main thing is to not fall into the "productivity porn" trap of trying to find the best tool instead of actually getting stuff done - when something simple is more than enough. Keep a simple list o…

Haha, touché - I'm impressed and will reconsider the Lego Girl "thing". :)
comment
Looking at a usual Lego Girl package it reminds me far more of Playmobil sets than Lego. For example, there is no 25-step manual like there is for the cool spaceships, police stations, or castles that…

EmptyInbox - it's a little Inbox Zero helper for GMail. http://app.net/emptyinbox Thanks for the pointer re: the kickfolio link. Kickfolio apparently "kicked" their app portfolio offering for devs (…
comment
I heartily agree with this article - it's a bit of sanity that is much needed with all the push lately for extreme gender neutrality. The Swedish principles are currently being discussed here in Germa…
comment
I think it's easy to overestimate the importance of being blogged about. My app was chosen as "App of the day" by thenextweb.com and it was retweeted about 200 times - I got a download spike of about …
comment
I find myself strongly disagreeing with the "world view" behind this post - though the common sensical statement "don't go with defaults all the time" is great, the post exudes an ego-centrical way of…

“To whom much is given, much is expected.” is an exciting quote to see Tim Cook get passionate about. Having an 11-digit cash hoard at your disposal could be an unbelievable force for good. Though he …

Is there a "comments" possibility for a note to the customer?
comment
Just wanted to say this is the best, most helpful yet humorous feedback I have ever read for any app ever. Thank you!
comment
I like the peer review idea - looking forward to getting an email to see what you guys are up to!
comment
I don't understand people's issue with this statistic. It's not implying causality of any form. It's simply saying: "the common idea that the only successful entrepreneurs are workaholic young singles…

It can get way worse than that: at a big chess site I used to play at, a password reset email gives you a url of the form ".../passwordreset.php?user=yourname&password=yourfreakingpasswordincleart…

Don't know much yet, but: their editor is Eclipse-based. The scripts are Lua-based and can be cross-compiled.

Sorry to offend, I was just clarifying why the original guy said you sounded naive - just clarifying what specific implementation you had in mind would have helped in your original comment. I can see …

In the sense that this is an age-old dream of mankind (see Tower of Babel), not an idea someone grabbed away from you before you could create a startup.
