    Wow. I cannot believe the pettiness of comments here. VLC is a fantastic media player, and I'm quite appalled to see the conversation here dominated by such little gripes. VLC play…

    Seems like the modularity would help on the marketing side: people will be much more receptive to BERG Cloud product #2 if it connects to a device already in their living room. I t…

    I was immediately won over by "FLAC", "Scrobbling" and "Speedy"! I've been struggling with iTunes and Songbird for a while now on OS X, and a replacement would be very welcome. I'v…

    Really interesting idea. One issue I was conscious of while reading the description: I'm not sure the intersection between the early adopter cohorts for different markets would be …

    That's a nice idea! To be honest though, my concern about bookcases is more about accessibility and DRM than it is about the physical and aesthetic value. There is something specia…

    Ask HN: Why did nobody bid on this job spec?

    I've been using an online outsourcing site successfully for a large number of projects over the last year, and almost always had plenty of bids and interest in the projects I put u…

    I'm surprised not to see anybody mention Nozbe. It's been around quite a while as a web app, and does a great job of balancing simplicity with functionality and features. The web i…

    I very much like the idea of producing webapps rather than iPhone apps in my business, and I think they could probably provide all the functionality I require. For me the catch is …

    AppMiner.com and iApper.com are both showing listings. A Google search shows up some other sites, but the mentions seem to have disappeared now.

    I have submitted a bug report, but I'm not sure if I can expect much response. As far as I know, these sites are already 'misbehaving' by scraping the App Store info, and Apple see…

    a) Published: 2 b) Paid/Free: 1 paid, and a free 'lite' version of it c) Marketing: Fair bit of effort (AdWords, AdMob, traditional + web PR, social media). Have seen little measur…

    Definitely have to agree with those saying "get out" - obviously we don't know all the circumstantial details and it may not be practical to leave immediately, but if you're somebo…
