    My theory on why apps are priced too low is that it's because of the expectations set by the prices of the initial apps on the store. The first apps on the app store were priced re…

    It's been this way for years for most other countries. But the invite method does work and I got my first gmail address via that. However for my other gmail address, I just gave th…

    Let me add that again, this goes to show that depending on a vendor for an important technology in your startup can actually be risky. Using open standards are always the way to go…

    I think scribd implements their own flash app to view documents. So they should be ok.

    If we are to believe the article, then the solution is to avoid comparing yourself to others. Try not to make it your goal to have what they have. Our goals should be more self dri…
