If you're planning to go international, my suggestion would be to change the name. Lokus = "loo" in german :-D

I didn't believe that until I read it myself. It's true: https://stripe.com/help/chargebacks

If your competitor sells $1 eBooks using Stripe, there's an easy way to move him out of business: buy 10'000, then ask for a chargeback on each of them.

There's got to be a better way to do this.

Actually, they're undesigning your language.

Nice, but it needs a bigger backend library. I entered the "shave and a haircut" riff and received no meaningful results.

Please reconsider. Being able to sync my feeds with other apps is very valuable to me.

Yep, Tonara is much farther advanced. The app turning the pages automatically is a fantastic helper when playing the piano, where your hands are constantly on the keys. It really works, and works well - I'm using it constantly.

Unfortunately, Tonara has a very limited store: Etude has Lady Gaga, Nora Jones, the Beatles etc. while Tonara only has classical composers. Also, Tonara doesn't allow users to add their own compositions, and they have publicly said that they will oppose against this public wish (http://getsatisfaction.com/tonara/topics/when_can_i_add_my_o...). Not a good strategy if you ask me.

This is still very early in the game.

Metacritic features an iOS section:

http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/release-date/availabl...

They do aggregate scoring and have established themselves as the main way to rate "greatness" on PC and consoles, going as far as landing game directors a bonus if their creation gets a score above 85. They're quite valuable for iOS as well. "King of Dragon Pass" gets a 90 at MC.

Most critics review games based on what they are. So a simple jump&run game might rate highly if it's a truly original+fantastic one. I would suggest you go through the list - anything above 80% is a game absolutely worth your while - then see if the genre and complexity fits you.

Carcassonne is also very complex and rewarding to master. It's also a great social game when everybody sits around one iPad.

I disagree. I play Piano on concert level and still have this problem in other fields. Learning an instrument between 7 and 15 doesn't automatically make you a more disciplined person.

As an answer, Sony headquarters should be enclosed in a huge airtight balloon and only let breathing air in if they agree to stop fucking people.

The post also mentioned "Idealist". Would have been a much greater name, lots of clever wordplays and explanations what it really is: Idea List Ideal Deal. I wonder why they decided against it.

We just started using Confluence. Design-wise, it's an absolute piece of junk. Nothing aligns, everything is ugly. Lots of plugins to adapt to what you want (which is great), but all those plugins add yet more design differences.

More precisely: he did not fire him. Ive was there before Jobs.

Really? Working on Aryan Papers and A.I. is "taking a decade off"?

Too much social networking clutter on that homepage. All I see is "Email Facebook like 3K Send Tweet +1 715", then on the right another Facebook logo and another Twitter logo.

Imagine a customer that is really happy with what you provide. Do you really believe that this person is unable to recommend it to others without your help?

What these logos tell me is this: You believe your site isn't good enough that people will take the 2 minutes to talk about it, but you hope that if you make it easy enough to just click a button, masses of these low-involment-recommendations would somehow make up for it. Which they never do.

Great concept otherwise, congrats.

Recently tried Zelda 3D and it nearly pushed me over the edge of insta-buy. Glad I waited.

This reminds me of the article "Why Japan didn’t create the iPod", which adds lots of details to the same issue: http://blog.gatunka.com/2008/05/05/why-japan-didnt-create-th...

Notably, the "appliance mindset" (people own many devices which are not interacting), average japanese people not owning a PC in 2001, the popularity of gaming consoles and mobile phones.

That's a really well designed app! Thanks, I took code #4.

A suggestion: turn up the volume when sounding an alarm. Currently an alarm might go off, but if the volume is set to 0, nothing will be heard.

1:03:30 is great: Jobs about mobile devices: "if you do email, you need a keyboard". Guess the iPhone wasn't on his list of future plans yet.
