Disney is a classic example of a company that made huge leaps and transformed itself from a single revenue stream to a very diverse one. Can you think of what the board of Disney s…

This article articulates well that it's important to have good board members and it's disasterous to have bad ones, but then doesn't really explain what to look for in a board memb…

I'll expound on the doorman situation because it was something I thought a lot about during my time in Dubai. I knew I was being watched by CCTV all the time (and to some extent th…

Source: lived in Dubai for 2.5 years. This is a combination of Dubai's two greatest past times: spectacle and surveillance, so naturally they will implement this as quickly as poss…

I think this is a really good answer to the question of "What do you do when [Google | Facebook | Microsoft] enter this space?" Just because they're big and have scale of users doe…

SEEKING WORK (iOS / Android) - NYC or remote I'm a full-stack developer that specializes in mobile - both iOS and Android. I've got a few apps in both stores, check them out at htt…

This article disappoints me because it seems to boil down to: BAD: making money by selling software GOOD: making money by selling ads So how do you make money selling ads? By getti…

Congrats on making and shipping something - that is always a good thing. A lot of these are to taste, but that's what feedback is: * I hit no when I get asked for Push Notification…

This is an old article from 2000.

Harvest is free for up to 2 clients. I used them for 6 months free before I upgraded to add on a third client. Definitely worth it for me.

"Chris and Robert Carkhuff currently own the majority of Dashcube." That's a pretty weird thing to put on your homepage, right?

Eclipse should no longer be a valid complaint. I started Android dev using with Eclipse. Moving to Android Studio made everything much, much smoother (except for builds, which take…

I would suggest making that call to action bigger. I did not notice the enlarged key on the keyboard until it was pointed out here on HN. I just thought it was the usual keyboard s…

I always assume I can reach someone at support@domain.com. That's the only one I assume.

Wow, I had never thought of this, but it seems completely obvious now. I wish music players took advantage of this (rdio in particular) so that they would better signal what's play…

Good job on launching something. Two small things you can easily fix: * Your app icon corners are wonky, probably because you aren't making them square for the large images. Apple …

Your first hire should be the person who fills in the missing gaps in your product. For example, good product, code is done, bad design => hire designer.

"It relies on a relatively unusual API design – delegates..." Nothing unusual about delegates, the entire iOS codebase is littered with them. But kudos on doing what we all eventua…

I think this is creative and shows some serious design skills. I am looking to hire a designer and this got my attention, so I'm reaching out. So I'd say it works as a resume.
