Now, what works better? iPhone 5c http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/iphone... - or - Beats 5c http://i60.tinypic.com/103hnjb.jpg

I could see one way that would make sense: To fix the iPhone 5C debacle. You want to reach lower level customers without tarnishing your main brand... Beats could fit that profile. Just make the colors a bit brighter and the successor to th

Is's hard to find a analogy that really fits well... Bloggers typically benefit from their activity, wether they blog on a platform or have their own blog. In both cases, they have an audience. As your main point is about fully control

This analogy just seems a bit confusing to me and threw me off the main point... End users, readers = coffee consumers Bloggers = baristas, either working in their own store or a Starbucks. Mixing the two up doesn't make sense. Well, t

There is one big difference: In Government / from within, hackers generally don´t have the skills to be able to change the system - Government is run by politicians - the effect of a good hacker is about as small as in your typical old

Word isn´t the problem... Converting from Word to something else is some pain for users. Converting from Excel (especially Excel Macros) to something else is in the Millions of $ for developers/re-engineering of those Macros...

Kickstarter would be great for this, especially building a community. Maybe a way would be to do a 5$ Kickstarter for people to get early access to the app, even before their friends can buy it from the App Store. This could work through th

Thanks... that really motivates :)... Let´s do some market research here if you don´t mind: how much would you pay and what price do you think is fair?

Domo arrigato gozaimas... you seem to have some experience in marketing apps... would be great to talk a bit about how you would approach it and if what part (if any) you still would work on... we´re at dev@beatmaticapp.com

It´s Eclipse // Java FX and Mathematica on Linux... The Macbook runs OSX with XCode and some more stuff...

Absolutely right... :) We really liked the challenge and not knowing if we could pull it off... It was good fun...

Thanks! What direction would you take it first?... We´ve jotted down a few "product" ideas in the blog...

Thanks for your offer, sure we´d like to hear from you. It is already a iPhone app, although limited by time constraints one build in PhoneGap rather than native. We probably will move the app into a native app, or extend PhoneGap via plugi

I was basing that at the Example code on your site http://bryntum.com/examples/gantt-latest/examples/basic/basi... which a bit short of 2MB (at least when loaded by Safari and Chrome, it seems to load differently in Firefox)... It would b

Great to hear you guys are working on drag&drop... Have a look at this lightweight jQuery based Gantt with drag&drop for some inspiration: https://github.com/thegrubbsian/jquery.ganttView It implements it really nicely...
21.
by thomasf1 14y ago
Great overview! One thing that would be great to add to the overview (if you´ve still got the demo files) is how large the download is - it´s one of the things that spoke against Bryntum's solution (over 2 MB!).

by thomasf1 14y ago
That´s great, the first jQuery based Gantt that does dependencies. Exactly what I´m looking for :) In terms of style, this one is nice as well: http://taitems.github.com/jQuery.Gantt/ If it wouldn´t be for using Ext.js and the large code

Yea, it actually remembers me of eBay... Awfully run, but still successful. It pains me to watch something like that though...

well... what more could you do if you´d actively want to destroy the company? - remove yourself from google search -> check - annoy any 3rd party app makers -> check - have a unreliable service -> check - have little product inn

Yea, I´m coming from the creative side... And great companies always had attention for detail (or for more more "superficial" stuff if you want to put it that way). The success of that companies (Apple being one of them) clearly inspired ot

Well... The main patent in this case is the "bounce-back patent". Where would you draw the line of what´s patentable? To me this seems actually to trivial as with most software patents. In terms of software it´s not really the implementatio

Sorry, my fault... What´s your take on the morals of the Samsung/Apple trial and your feelings regarding protection by software patents?
28.
by thomasf1 14y ago
I´m personally quite conflicted in this case: Apple has a point that Samsung was copying them. Pure, simple, stupid copying, not using elements of it and turning it into something new and great. On the other side, the ways of protection wit

Right. They managed to get a licence from Xerox to the astonishment of many of the guys working in Xerox PARC. What´s your take on the morals of this?

by thomasf1 14y ago
The Jury system in the US is actually well suited deciding complex moral questions and too much fine print hinders more than it heps, which was evident in this case. To me, instead of a patent office there should be a central online registe
