After this sad announcement, I've revisited Earbits. I love the listening experience as I did before. Sure some technical details where a show stopper for me, i.e. no email account, gamification/social currency had no effect on

I can't wait for the WWDC where Apple will allow all developers to submit their app following of course meaningful guidelines that fit a car user interface. Then Apple can act as a gateway and the automakers cannot put a veto on which

I think it’s a great opportunity. Shoutcast has a greater installed base than Icecast. But more importantly a really passionate user base. However there is broken feature by design on ALL those streaming services: they stop for whatever r

Yep. To me those kind of techniques are a warning bell telling me : this website is not worth visiting. I left immediately. If it's such a great essay, it will be repeated somehow, so I will not miss it. At the minima the comments here are

I used to hate IAP, especially after my nephew spent hundreds of real money into golds dragons or whatever. However I changed my point of view as fremium+IAP does solve the problem of being able to try the real app. From a developer point o

Your website Outgrow.me is a very good idea. Bravo! I wish you a lot of success and certainly redirect my friends to it. I always thought a real shop was the missing link at KS. I understand KS concern to stop their "service" at the fund

The page http://www.kickstarter.com/year/2012#category might be confusing Kickstarter (KS) always defined on their pages that a successful project is a "successfully funded" project. It’s hard to know how KS can calculate a successful pro

I don’t understand why Apple made such blatant mistake. Originally the clock app wasn’t included on the iPad. This version of clock is well made, simple to use as this kind of app should be. Not rocket science but alternatives version are c

I call it le iMerde. The main point for me is how Apple did come up with a such low resolution (1024x768@132ppi) for a screen that you hold so close to your eyes? The technology is there for much higher density screens. I was expecting Appl

I don't think the claim saying that "Apple doesn't understand software" is correct. Apple do understand software. You cannot release Mac OS X, iLife and other jewels without understanding software. Also Mac developers jumping off the iPhon
