This is another brilliant marketing move by Steve and an attempt to influence the news media's view of the Android phone. If the news media starts talking about Android phones as "porn" phones then the iPhone will be presented as the shiny

Accounting is one of those things that I drag my feet to learn and practice (along with taxes) when I would rather be coding. Xero is the best app that I've found for keeping the day to day record keeping simple but you still need an accoun

I also wouldn't mind an app that's a virtual environment with bash, ssh, gIt, sqlite, django, a Safari tab, and Vim. If that existed I would buy an iPad tomorrow.

Whether it was for a feature or a demo, I like hearing about founders who turn into executives still coding and working on improving the code in their product.

I agree, I don't think that Apple will go after products that have nothing to do with the iPad. Unless you make an accessory or app for the iPad I think your safe. However, it would be fun to watch Apple go after Notepad and ask Microsoft t

"In the end, it really doesn't matter, because in Apple's little App Store world, they don't even need to pretend they have a trademark. They've given themselves every legal right to pull an app for no reason at all." Crazy yes, shocking n

I have to wonder if Arrington saw that the product wasn't turning out like he had hoped and quietly decided that he didn't want the TechCrunch name on it. Maybe that's why he didn't commit to a contract because he wanted the relationship to

I wonder if Leo Laporte is going to be right about how he thinks that will Apple eventually stop making macs so that they can focus on more closed or controlled platforms like the iPod, iPhone, and now the iPad. They seem to be pretty good

I initially thought the same thing, but then I realized that the iPad may actually inspire more kids to become hackers and programmers. They may start with the iPad because it's the number one tablet but that doesn't mean they will stay wit

I tried to write a business plan with the intent of developing the idea. I wrote about half of it but then I gave up on it so that I could focus on building the product. I will make money if people use my product but I won't make any money
