Very good example of why developers are dumb for writing mobile apps. It makes zero business sense with the exception of the very few who sell hundreds of thousands. Apple screws the developers and we all bend over. What a joke!

Not really a lot of relevant experience. Would like to see some Hadoop or heck, even some C#. Let's talk again in a year or two.

Successful high tech CEO here. I don't know where all of this bad advice came from, but you should never, ever have an equal cofounder.

I'm in the course as well and don't really understand what the fuss about Octave is. The help system is abysmal and third-party library support seems far behind other popular platforms. It's also quite unstable on Windows. I've been playing

this I see such bad financial advice coming from those who obviously have never made money (shouldn't be surprising, I guess). And then when someone comes along who has made a lot of money, most people ignore what they have to say.

$630? Why is this on the front page? Why does anyone even care? This is not important.

And assuming they could (despite your arguments against) determine the method of monetization on a site I can assure you that that they cannot do this accurately. You would be amazed at the scummy business models that openly advertise on

Exactly, right? I mean, I read that and thought "I'd kill OP to be 20 again". 20... no job, no ambition, no problems.

I want you to put this in perspective. I read your previous post and you were working a shit job. I am a CEO of a tech company and I can assure you I know what you are talking about. I've never heard of such crazy hours (on a regular basis)

I know you were looking for an answer from Matt but I thought I would offer up my opinion here (as you might have noticed, I love talking about this stuff). Our models currently suggest that the presence of contextual advertising is a signi

This really made me think. But I took exception to your comment: I agree but don't you think that from an algorithmic point of view Google would be better looking at what the user wants and what monetization models they prefer[...] No. In

Matt, You are of course correct. The fault is mine for miscommunicating... I find myself becoming less self-editorial these days when I write on the web and tend to think everyone is on the same page as I am. I was actually referring to an

We do mean well, and for the most part when people say we're arrogant it's because we didn't hire them, or they're unhappy with our policies, or something along those lines. They're inferring arrogance because it makes them feel better. I

This is a fair comment but I believe the issues stem more from the process Google follows. It is obvious that Google cannot communicate exact reasons why a site was penalized as that would help spammers. However, there is nothing that preve

That's the ultimate check on Google: if we start to act too abusive or "evil" we know that people can desert us. So it's in our enlightened self-interest to try to act in our users' long-term interests. I hear this line thrown about quite

Sadly, quite true. "True" - because my current understanding (which Matt_Cutts can elucidate on if he chooses to) is that Google has looked into - but does not currently incorporate - the presence of advertising as a spam signal. "Sadly" -

I think %50 of the problem is the arbitrary picking of sites to block (and it's not working, btw[1]) and %50 of it is that google seems uninterested in explaining or advising people when it happens to them. This. Assume you work on the we

Hi Matt, We don't know each other but I think we know of each other. I'm rather immersed in webspam detection and found this incredibly interesting. You imply that the challenge is finding a solution that scales. Yet it sounds to me from yo

True, I thought I mentioned the color thing, but I guess not. You definitely could not read a TRS-80 clearly on a TV. You could on an Apple, but who would? Most people - remember the buyers were predominantly hobbyists and schools - bought

I have to disagree. I used the Apple IIe and the TRS-80 extensively during this period. I coded games and other software in BASIC and assembly on both machines. I poured over the schematics of both machines for hours at a time. You could li

Interesting service and a nice UI. I just gave it a shot. Interested to see how well it works!
