1 million people is not the majority of 300 million people. Unless you think you could gather up 151 million people who would accept your trade?
So why are there no porn apps on the app store?

You really like that word, don't you?
Re:I would like my $0.37 refund, please. on Thursday February 24, 2011 @12:47AM (#2257065)
I think the author makes the mistaken assumption that everyone is cash-rich and time-poor. Plenty of people are the opposite, have plenty of time, but a limited income.
Mockingbird is hardly the first online wire-framing tool.

Re:JQuery Browser Detection Feature Isn’t Useful for IE8/9 on Monday February 21, 2011 @02:07AM (#2244593)
Agreed, isn't <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /> just for people whose website breaks in IE8, but works in IE7 and they can't be bothered to update it?

What about using a dedicated IM program like Adium? I find it leaps and bounds over using the web gChat client. Also it manages 1x MSN, 2x gChat and IRC in one place for me.

Re:Can Mac OS X succeed as a mobile platform? on Thursday February 10, 2011 @04:45AM (#2201402)
You know IOS basically is OS X right? The difference between IOS and WinMobile/CE is that microsoft tried to take the desktop paradigm and shoehorn it onto a phone, whereas apple took the strong core from OS X but started from scratch with the UI to build a touch and mobile friendly OS.

Why would you host your website with a company whose core competancy is DNS? It's like getting your car serviced at a carwash.
1% of 10M users isn't cool. You know what's cool? 1% of a billion users :P

Exactly the same.
