Thanks Andrenid. I think I might go for the solo ABN approach for now and move to a company approach once things improve. Don't people recommend an 'incorporate' company as well? Thanks.

I wasn't saying anything really, just trying to get my head around the huge difference between numbers in population. Living in the Western world I feel all that matters is the US, and UK, and how much the US dominates and polices global po

China is interesting. It's not like USA with just a population of 310,000,000, it has 1,330,000,000 people. If one group successfully causes enough political unrest, and 5% of the population supports and follows this group, that's a total o

Should look a little further before I comment. http://coryliu.com/ Looks profesh. And HiveDesk. So a lot of experience? Do you have a blog entry on some starter tips?

Looking through your previous comments history. In some it seems you have had some success with websites. Do you consider yourself successful? Did you build your products on the side whilst holding a full-time job? And you just went at it,

Naive indeed. For example, I'll call my product Onlinez. I just register the domain, create the product, and people sign up. I need to allow credit card transactions. Where does this get charged to? I need a business account (ABN) and that

We need to look at the type of social groups interacting and using it though. Most people on HN I think would use Facebook less, so we can't be the demographic to base it on. The News Stream is really a gossip magazine just for people you k

Maybe its the progression of the web as a communication medium vs fads. Initially there was geocities and webpages, then blogs came along. The next step was Myspace with its Geocities like system, but actual network style functionality. Alo

I had to ask myself what MySpace was and clicked on the link to find out, then I remembered. Wow. It's like remembering that other old website Digg. MySpace and Digg, now its Facebook and Reddit, what will it be next? HN still seems to be t

Well, this article in particular has more biased based phrases than actual content, but I do see why people are so inclined towards Apple due to the success of the iPad. And you are right, I had the same misconception of the iPad, now it is

I wouldn't say the wait is optional, more financially restricted(2 year contract). Is your Win7 experience a personal one though? I haven't yet required to connect to a hidden wifi network. And now that cut-and-paste has arrived, I have use

I have seen that, and I do like enthusiasts, and I have enjoyed DF before, but every now and then a little too much seethes through and I feel that the point of comparing Windows 8 to Mac OSX gets lost in the forest of praise for Apple. I w

Daring Fireball - what a shock. 'If not for the existence and success of iOS, Nokia wouldn’t be in trouble..' If not for Nokia, iOS would never existed, touch screen phones would not have been invented. If not for the competitiveness and su

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2011/05/microsoft-unve... A bit clearer information. I've had one now for a while and I do enjoy the phone. It seems slightly limited but hopefully Mango will push it further, and we'll see tighter in

I concur! My current role you get max 4-5% pay rises, if you are lucky, and that is with a promotion. I'm planning on moving cities soon to find better opportunities. Cannot wait to hand my resignation in. The only way I will work at a lar
