1. Will this be free forever or will it be bumped to a paid service? 2. Any plans of supporting the iPad as a HTML5 app? Really liking the interface while building mockups (already started building them!).

If the author had searched, he would have come across Google Sketchup. I downloaded and used the same, although I had to read a couple of tutorials before hitting the road. And it served the purpose of designing my new apartment. Not sure i

Hi Samir. Saw your site just now and I have a few comments from my side: 1. I have seen many popular book/product sales sites and usually it is a one page site which pitches the idea and shows through testimonials what can be done. You coul

I don't think language is a problem in India in cities like Bangalore [I'm currently staying here]. Anyone knowing English can survive here. In terms of expenses also the broadband along with phone would be under $50/month. Also in terms of

Having to download PDFs to read a magazine or newspaper online is real nasty. Just goes to show how much techincal expertise the media publication houses have with them currently. A lighter format[in terms of size] which also supports socia

That is a really strong statement. > "He also says he hopes it will put corporate systems administrators out of work because software updates will be made automatically over the Web." I wonder how will they be able to push updates in co

Yeah, there are plenty of tutorials out there for teaching Python to kids. I also remember seeing a book once, but can't remember the name. I would like to see if currently anyone in the HN community has taught kids at a young age (preferab

From a freelancer's perspective, I would be the only one working on a project for a industry I choose [as you had suggested]. Wouldn't this require some form of prior experience in that industry? Just wanted to know whether we do need prior

Yeah. It's a rule here in Bangalore to shut down all restaurants and shops by 10-10:30 PM. Unlike in Bombay where I remember seeing kebab shops open at 1:30 AM and doing brisk business!!

Google AppEngine is really an interesting platform to use for a startup. Have been noticing a lot of people here in HN use it for theirs.

My my.. I'm surprised how the company lasted so long. I still remember using Yahoo! for my searches in the beginning. But that was just for 2 years. Since 2002, I got hooked to Google and have never looked back. As @variety states above, th

Really appreciate the post. Shows what it takes to take on something on your own. And he's still a teenager!! Here in India people finish school when they are 18 and go directly to college!

Surprising there are no Chinese telecom companies. I see them being sued in the US at a higher frequency.
