When I was creating tunings for Angel Harp, some of the tunings had bugs, but they were more beautiful than what I originally intended. So I kept them. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angel-harp/id490827417?mt=8&#...

I'd like to see this question posed as a survey. How much money has your app earned: $10-$99, $100-$999, $1,000-$9,999... If you're really curious, my iOS app Twang was featured by Apple for 3 weeks. Revenue-wise, it does not belong to the

Good to know. A fast internet connection would be nice, but 3G is acceptable. What amenities should a hacker colony have? I'm thinking: fast internet, quiet cabins, food delivered to your door, remote area that is good for walking & exp

Thanks! Since it's cheap, I could eat out more often, and spend less time on cooking & cleaning...
