It looks like the machine is under heavy load. My shell just stopping responding and now ssh hangs while connecting :-(.

I'm not a specialist in that field, but my marketing efforts have been basically the same for both platforms. Of course, I might have targeted the wrong users in Android while targeting the right users on iOS, but I think that's unlikely to

Sorry, I'd prefer to not disclose that.

I'd say it's even lower than 7%, both for paid and ad supported apps, at least on my experience of having several applications for both iOS and Android. There is a small percentage of Android users willing to pay for apps, primarily due to

Nice catch :-)! Since I closed the project I mentioned in that comment, I wanted to release some parts of the code. The article about Readability reminded me of it, mostly because some of the comments suggested that a lot of people were rew

Given the number of articles I guess you're processing each day, I think you should probably rewrite your parser in C. I used to run a service which basically consisted on a feed reader where every article was preprocessed by an algorithm s

There's currently a segmented control in the top left of the article to switch between article an comments, but your suggestion sounds interesting.

I'm using view based tableviews, which are only available in 10.7. Thanks for trying though :-)

Good idea. The problem is "FaceBook for iPad" is listed in their submissions rather than in their apps, which means it hasn't been approved yet. However, if they end up passing the review (I have my doubts about that), I'll make sure to buy

Sandboxing is only required for apps sold in the Mac App Store and the OS won't require apps to be sandboxed. None of your non-sandboxed apps will stop working on March 1st.

It looks like I can't edit the submission, so I'll add a comment. First, I want to thank everybody for your suggestions and let you know that I'm seeing my lawyer first thing tomorrow morning. I've been collecting evidence for a while now a

I'm pretty sure he meant to say "to incorporate" (fundar in Spanish) rather than "to fund" (financiar).

You've reminded me the time when I decided to leave my job and become a freelance. My parents wouldn't stop telling me I was crazy for leaving a nice job for the uncertainty of being your own boss. I'm not in PT right now, but GF lives in P

I'm Spanish and my GF is Portuguese. I can vouch for everything you said. As an enterpreneur, I work really hard every day to meet my goals. 14 hours days are not unusual to me and working some 3-4 hours a day on weekends is the norm. When

This sounds like a very good idea. I'm going to see my lawyer tomorrow and I'll tell her about your suggestions (this one and sending the documents in Spanish). Thank you so much!

I don't think they copied any of my code nor assets. However, their app does basically the same as mine, but lacking and lot of features and their is UI not as polished as mine (the app looks pretty amateur).

I was under the impression that I was responsible for sending them the documents in a language that they could understand. This sounds really good. Many thanks for letting me know!

I really appreciate your intentions, but I'd prefer to deal with this just abiding by the rules. Plus, that would give the squatter a lot of undeserved sales and would boost their rankings.

As someone who bought his first domain from someone else some weeks ago, I'd suggest you to contact the current owner and ask them if they might be interested in selling it. After a few days of negotiation, I was able to get the domain for

Names are unique in the App Store, so it's too late for that.

I'm in Spain. I didn't think that getting their app removed from the EU stores would make a noticeable difference, since the app is only popular in English-speaking countries. However, your point really makes sense. I'll be contacting my la

It's the App Store. I didn't publish a Pro version because I preferred to use IAP to remove the ads rather than publishing a separate binary.
