It common knowledge that shared servers at GoDaddy never have been anything better than average, but a lot of people think that GoDaddy still is the place to go for domains. Trust me, there are a lot of better options out there.
Their domains are the among the cheapest on the internet (7.15$ with free privacy settings, Godaddy would take over 20$ for the same offer), they have great support, a great API, and a simple (although ugly) website/domain registration process. GoDaddy on the other hand, has a completely bloated UI designed into tricking you into buying a lot of junk that you don't need.
Google Chrome's extensions are purely based on HTML, CSS and some custom Javascript. That's incredibly limiting, especially when you're talking about UI manipulation. When you're creating Firefox extensions, you're writing the same native language (XUL) that the Firefox developers use to add features to Firefox itself.
Chrome's extensions only have similar capabilities as Mozilla JetPacks have.
Great point. A lot of people spend all their time trying to earn more money, but they don't remember that money is worthless if you don't have the time or the need to use it. Time is the most valuable currency we have in our lives, it's the only currency we can't earn more of. We can only choose to spend it better.
1. Send out promo codes to all the major iPhone game review sites. TouchArcade.com is a must
2. Create an account at the TouchArcade forum and give out a lot of promo codes (be sure to mention the promo codes in the forum thread title!). The users who receive the free promo codes may get the game for free, but if it's a great game they will spread the word about it through word-of-mouth. They will also give you valuable feedback. Be sure to respond to their complaints, feedback and praise on the forum thread, they will love you for it. Customers who feel like they are taken seriously will be happy customers who will gladly spread the word about your game for free.
3. Keep updating the game and spread the word about the updates. Constant updates is the reason why old games like Doodle Jump, Pocket God and Angry Birds still are immensely popular.
4. Your website sucks. If a game peaks my interest enough, I'll check out the website. Your page was just a boring support form. I want videos, I want screenshots, I want summaries of reviews (linking to the full review), stats, a blog with updates etc.
6. Shorten the link to the youtube-video with something like bit.ly. It's impossible to copy it and it's much easier to visit a bit.ly-link than a youtube.com-link
The Lifestyle Business Podcast is an absolutely awesome podcast about modern business. The content is so valuable that they decided to take payments for the first 30 episodes, but it's so worth it!
I guess he changed his mind when Epic showed him the Unreal Engine 3 running on an iPhone. He was so impressed by it that he presented it as the only third party app on their iPod press conference, that says a lot.
Wow, this is fascinating. ngmoco was founded only two years ago and it's already being sold for $400M. I wonder how it would have turned out if they didn't get iFunded.
There are several hundred millions who would love to legally settle in the US. If the only requirement for a legal VISA would be to file a 99$ registration at sites like incorporate.com, there would be a flood of unproductive applicants with no real goal for their business other than getting a VISA. There has to be some sort of screening process.

Damn, I really hope Prop 19 passes. I'm not even American, but a passage would mark the start of the end of the dreadful war on marijuana around the world. Other states would follow, then Latin America (the former Mexican President said "May God let it pass" about Prop 19), countries in Europe (Netherlands, Spain, Denmark) and slowly it would be legalized around the world. Defeat would be a major setback.
I urge all Californians who're reading this to do their absolute best to make it pass in these last vital days. Join the phone banks, make sure all your friends are voting, campaign at universities. It could make a large difference, larger than you probably think.
The feeling about pot has changed a lot in the last 15 years, not just in the US ( http://www.gallup.com/poll/144086/New-High-Americans-Support... ), but in the rest of the world well. A ton of countries have decriminalized marijuana and other drugs, people are realizing that marijuana isn't the drug of hell it was pitched as and that the war against it has failed.
I think it has a lot to do with the internet/information age. Just a couple of years ago the governments could say whatever they wanted and very few people would question their "facts". Now everybody with access to the internet can research the issue themselves.
1. Not true. If you're possessing too much, you're considered a dealer.
2. If you get caught with weed you'll lose your college grant and loans, essentially making it impossible for a lot of great, hard working people, to get a college degree just because they're caught with some weed. Taking away the right to higher education just because of a small possession case is downright inhumane. Not even rapers and murders lose their college grants and loans.

This is a tough question. We all agree that marijuana should be legalized and sold in a regulated way, but what about the other, way more dangerous drugs?
This may surprise you, even shock you, but heroin is actually legalized, and given out by the government, in a lot of European countries. Addicts visit a special office and get their daily fix administered by trained professionals. I think this is the way to do it for heroin.
Heroin in itself is actually not as insanely dangerous as portrayed. Sure, it's a really really bad drug, but just like morphine, it can be administered safely. The most dangerous thing about heroin is actually not the heroin itself, but the contaminants and unclean administration. The high price of heroin creates a lot of crime, in places where it's not legalized the addicts either have to steal, prostitute or push drugs to afford their own usage. Stats have shown that legalizing and incredibly strictly regulating it reduces addiction, crime and recruitment of new users. Nobody sane wants to try heroin, almost all the recruitment are done by the addicts themselves pushing it to other unfortunate people. When they don't have to spend their days working on getting enough money to buy their next fix they actually can have normal jobs and working on escaping their addiction.
I don't know how to handle other dangerous drugs such as cocain, meth, amphetamines and lsd. Mushrooms and MDMA should be legalized, but way stricter than marijuana.

GMail is great for, well, email. It is quite bad for saving files and ideas.
Yup, it can save any filetype. However that doesn't mean much if you have to download every file before you can find out what they contain. With 200 different images and documents for example, it is much easier to find the right document when you either can look at the thumbnails or search directly in the content.
There's a difference. For this 111GP image there was taken 9750 images. Those images were then merged together to a single image using Autopano Giga and then split for the ease of presentation. Google's satelite photography on the other hand has never been merged into one huge image.
True, but records aren't considered records if they're kept secret. Even if I could hold my breath for 25 minutes, Stig Severinsen would be considered as the best in the world at holding his breath until I publicly demonstrated that I could beat his time.
This is a really stupid article. Everybody knew that Microsoft would never approve a sex game for the Xbox 360, but this was never about that.
They're integrating Kinect support into their already existing Windows sex games using the thriXXX engine. They're using open source Kinect drivers and software to make it possible, they don't need (or want) Microsoft's approval. Microsoft can't do anything to stop this.
I collect quotes and have quite a collection of good ones. Here are my favorite quotes, a lot of them would fit great on minimotivation.com:
