My phone contract is up soon and getting a new phone. Along with that, I have been contemplating replacing my tablet (Nexus 10) or getting a phone that complements my tablet usage. I'm curious what others think and devices they themselves have and find useful.I currently have the Galaxy Nexus which has a 4.65 inch screen. It's definitely the smallest I would go with a screen. To me, the size is...
The cable system is still entrenched. They gain tons of customers through cable providers. If they were to abandon that model... do you really believe all of those who were subscribing to HBO / premium channels would switch over to HBO as a digital subscriber? Of course not. Sure, many would switch but they would lose a lot of customers. Would they gain back customers whom didn't opt in to the cable provider method but would opt in for digital subscription? I'm sure this would happen. But it likely wouldn't overcome the loss of cable provider subscriptions.
HBO has consistently stayed ahead of the curve and been very innovative. They will switch when the time is right and not any sooner. They sure as hell will not need to be "dragged kicking and screaming."
I am looking to get a laptop and am looking to spend as little as possible for something that can handle multiple internet tabs and code editor (once in a while I might use vector software Inkscape). What do you guys suggest? I prefer Intel (i3 probably fine) over AMD processor. I would also like a 13 - 14 inch screen with a nice (backlit perhaps) keyboard. I'm fine with refurbished / used but...
Ideal solution (IMO) is multiple browser windows horizontally and tabbed content within each vertically.
I'm looking for a bit of guidance with frontend development.I started out knowing very little... just a passion to learn and build my startup. I have been able to work through the frontend (I'm a competent designer) while my co-founder handled the backend.I now consider myself comfortable with HTML, CSS and jQuery. However, while a mock frontend is getting there, it's obviously not enough. I...
It has always been hard.From time to time I get very invested and lost in my work (I work in finance) but I usually drift and think of my startup. I make sure to never actually work on anything at work but sometimes I'll read relevant news, Google to solve coding questions / issues I have and so on. Then some days it is just terrible. Literally just sit there staring at my computing in this...
It's hard enough when it's just one employer and employee involved. Now add another set? If any of the four parties involved aren't good to go... then it won't work.
I could be wrong, but just seems a working scenario is too rare to justify this as a variable business/network.
Does anyone happen to have advice on domain transfer? I have a feeling it gets done through the same I bought it through but not quite sure yet. Hopefully transaction goes through soon / shortly.
Thanks again everyone!
However, I wouldn't think bothering with anything but .com is worthwhile?
I think it's going to be worthwhile to buy.
I have a domain name currently that is similar to flickr.com, scribd.com, etc. in that with one letter excluded, it still sounds like the word.After customer and market validation and with my co-founder and I coding, I realized it'd be important to trademark the name. That has gone through. Which is great since the name is a great fit, is a real word (less the letter), easy to say, and easy to...
In regards to design, it's a bit old looking. The font (including the logo) is far too generic. The image is a bit clip-art-esque. The generic submit buttons aren't helping either. These are your calls to action... they need to pop!
Sorry to be harsh. But I think being honest is the most helpful thing.
Good luck!
It might be one of those questions where "if you have to ask, don't do it" but just curious. I'm looking to create an API that creates a platform for others to create their own apps within mine. For now, I am providing the basic functionality, but would be at some point in the future enable others to create within my platform.Just curious as to how this is approached. I'm a frontend developer...
I realized something recently and curious what others think. We seem to design for the web, desktop applications, etc. based upon three specific things:1. seated close 2. relatively large screen 3. precise mouseIf you take any of these things away... you can no longer cram functionality into screen space as we currently do.It is the reason behind responsive design and the "mobile first"...
It's going to be hard, but I feel going solo for now might just be the more realistic option. I don't want the headache of hiring developer(s)... nor do I think it'd be safe to risk finding a strange co-founder at this stage.
Well, going to be a tough couple of months ahead of me! That's for sure.
So, a year ago I went to my friend with an idea for a live video startup and asked if he wanted to join. I would deal with design and frontend development. He would deal with backend development. We both have full time jobs and live over an hour from one another. So we worked remotely and as much as we could.Recently, the design has finally come together and I'm getting close to finalizing the...
I have a fixed aspect ratio design that I will be keeping fixed (not standard website design, but useful for my case). I designed it in pixels to ease the burden while designing (not having to constantly calculate percentages for every single element). However, I don't think there will ever be a time that converting pixels to percentages will be anything less than torturous.So, I'm looking for...
I have a decision to make. Most standard navigation menus are simple. You click (or hover) and a menu appears with a list of links and each leads you directly to a new page. However, I was contemplating adding a bit of functionality to my navigation menu.It must be mentioned that my web app is for video, although not quite the same, think youtube or even udemy as an example.When my navigation...
I got the Nexus 7 planning to use it as a device to code on the train here and there. However, it can't recognize my file types (html, css, js... also font types, ttf, eot, etc.). How do I get the drivers necessary to recognize these files?
So, curious what everyone thinks about the two operating systems (and maybe not their current iterations but their potential) and their ability to be utilized on mobile, desktop, tv, etc.Microsoft made it very clear that they want to unify everything. I like their UI and think it's really some refreshing and different. We'll see how it fairs in the coming months.Then you have Google Android....
And it's not like investors (and the stocks they invest in) are necessarily going up / down for a great reason. A lot of it is also emotional. And I think the factors I noted play into the emotion that Apple might have seen their peak in all out domination of smart phones (although android has greater share) and tablets. They would need another true innovation to see the type of growth they showed before.
For those who have tablets... do you guys have one with mobile data or just tether to your phone? I'm looking to get the Nexus 7 and don't see the point in spending $50 for the option to have mobile data and then another $20+ a month for data plan (I don't have shared data plan - I have unlimited Verizon 4G plan).It's seems there are apps available to tether and as long as I'm not using the...
