Thanks!

I feel like to a large extent this is just techcrunch being techcrunch and writing link-bait articles. My thoughts on this: 1) Just about everyone is "interested in making money" f…

I kind of skimmed the post, so maybe I'm missing something, but what exactly is the "architecture" described here? Dynamically-typed languages will allow the passing around of obje…

He doesn't negate your points because there were none to negate. Well, except for that clearly accurate "90-99%" figure you quoted. Your personal crusade is not a rebellion, and no…

IANAL, but I'd be surprised if the police was allowed to raid me, launch tear gas through my window and shoot me in the head. Even with a warrant. I'm not worried about this happen…

Oh I agree that graceful degradation is a very viable option for older browsers.

You'd be surprised by how many people won't do that. In my opinion, it's your job as a designer / developer to make sure your product works for as many people as reasonably possibl…

I skimmed the article, but it sounds like free apps that make money through in-app purchases are still eligible.

Not a fan of zynga, but tiny tower and others do that too. It seems pretty standard for games to prompt users for reviews.

Non-combattants should be off-limits imo, yes. However war and terrorism are completely different. It's generally accepted that there may be civilian casualties in a war zone, and …

IANAL and I hate to sound like a fanboy, but can't Apple claim that the 2007 iPod touch is prior art, since it's basically a small black tablet with rounded corners and a single bu…

Yeah I'm curious about that too. It seems that in the very rare cases where a commercial plane goes down spectacularly, the ones that make it alive were flown by formerly non-comme…

Surely there must be more to it. Clearly all of us who've played a flight simulator know that going up too fast will cause you to lose speed and eventually stall and fall until you…

I feel that work habits are a very personal thing. I find that I'm more productive if I work on multiple projects throughout the day instead of dedicating to just one. I don't know…

I was just about to post the same thing. I agree with the underlying thesis that a good shipping product is better than perfect code that never ships, but the author seems to be co…

Many shy people tend to avoid situations where they think they may get rejected. I think the point of the experiment is to show them that they could be happier / better off if they…
