My experience has been that finding mobile developers in general is extremely difficult, primarily because there are so many opportunities for mobile developers to make a ton of mo…

PaintCode 2 supports direct import of PSDs and adds a ton of additional features as well, like the ability to use variables and expressions to drive attributes of shapes.

If anything, this story calls out the sensationalism of a tech press that just sucks up anything it can find and runs with it as a story. We've seen unsubstantiated "reporting" of …

It's the same concept as having footnotes in printed books. Adding lots of commentary in the middle of a document breaks the flow of the text. On RG, you can read the text intact i…

Ah, this is one of the problems with isolated ecosystems, I guess. Until Apple opens up AirPlay (never), I'm stuck with whatever they give me. :/

For me, AirPlay is the killer Apple TV feature. Any time a new app comes out for iOS that supports streaming video, I know I'm going to be able to play it on my television. The loc…

Now I'm paranoid that I might be a weirdo for holding my phone primarily in my left hand even though I'm right-handed. Am I alone in that? I think the reason I do it is because tex…

This is true, and Foursquare does use Background Refresh, but I don't believe that encompasses background location updates, so changing the setting to disable them in Foursquare is…

Where?

Seriously? It's not trying too hard at all. If there's a job you really want and you're really passionate about getting it no matter what, you should do anything in your power to t…

Aww, thank you. That always makes me feel good to hear.

I've been employed as a software engineer since age 19, and I'm almost 33 now. I've worked for companies like MetLife, Tommy Hilfiger, Yahoo!, and IMVU, and my lack of a degree has…

My mobile app, Routesy ( http://routesy.com ), falls into this category through a combination of sales of the paid version and advertising in the free version. It was one of the fi…

I'm red-green colorblind and the dots are extremely hard to see (at least for me). Any chance you might change them to be further apart in color, or use different colors? Blue and …

I will happily sell my apps for the price listed. Who should I contact for my check? :)

I had the extreme honor of seeing former Marketplace host Tess Vigeland give this speech at the World Domination Summit in Portland earlier this month. Although reading it isn't th…

Developers get 70%, and Apple gets 30%, not the other way around. The sum paid to developers is substantially larger than the sum paid to Apple.

The pagination is dead in Safari and Chrome when looking through the company list, so I'm unable to browse the companies. Changing the number of results per page doesn't do anythin…

That's an awesome domain name! Did you acquire it for this project, or did you already have it?

We've got two dogs at turntable.fm: my chihuahua, Miss Cleo, and a corgi puppy named Newton. Having them around is probably one of the best things about working in our office. They…

I guess he took my advice. :)

At my current job at turntable.fm, we only have standups twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday), and I honestly was surprised at how effective that is. I've always operated under the …
