Probably want to internally build some products. Makes for much better returns when you own 50+% of a company vs. ~20% via traditional funding.

Re:Android is for startups on Wednesday September 04, 2013 @03:50PM (#6329992)
Android might never prove better. When/if it ever does then I will reevaluate and deal with being a fast follower rather than a first mover.

However, it is premature at this stage to state that Android is the better platform for startups.

Re:Android is for startups on Wednesday September 04, 2013 @02:50PM (#6329593)
Free apps do well on Android. Paid apps (Outright & Free + In App Purchases) generate more revenue on iOS. Being able to show traction is important for startups but, being able to show increased revenue is equally if not more important.

Until Android on a whole proves to be more lucrative to monetize apps, many developers will continue building iOS first (imho).

iPad App works great and integrated extraordinarily well with the service. No limitations as far as I can see.

What use is 1Gbps when you are sitting behind the GFOC?
Re:Google changes Buzz to be opt-in and adds easy delete button on Saturday February 13, 2010 @09:37PM (#1124020)
I agree wholeheartedly
Re:Google changes Buzz to be opt-in and adds easy delete button on Saturday February 13, 2010 @08:45PM (#1123941)
This just shows how poor Google's think tank model of operation is. I mean how can all those people working on the Buzz team overlook this? With all their time spent analyzing which shade of blue they should use why not just ask people how they feel about an auto following model?
Re:16 Year Old CEOs, What Has The World Come To? on Monday November 02, 2009 @11:21PM (#918575)
Worse in the sense that its diminishing the value of being an entrepreneur and CEO. For example, if PHD's were being handed out to kids a 40 year old's MBA is now depreciated. Same goes for the status and worth of the word and title CEO / Entrepreneur.

Fashions have definitely changed. Unfortunately, for the worse.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was an automated system that malfunctioned

Appreciate it! Any suggestions you might have?

I'm a Jr in High School and I made my first iPhone Game. Suggestions/Feedback

from the self-post dept.

Link to the game on the App Store: http://is.gd/U1L6Its called Castle Defense for those of you wishing to search for it. It has been a 4 month collaboration with 3 other team members (1 other coder, designer, and composer). The two goals of the project have been to make a fun game, which at the time hadn't been done before, and hopefully be able to pay for my college tuition. I've learned a lot...
