ailonon PWA on Windows. Part 1: Publishing Your App as Is

Well, not if you don't have any digital goods for sale in your PWA :)

There a various definitions, but the one I like is: introverts exhaust energy while around people, extroverts recharge.

I hear what you are saying and I've seen people who get paralyzed like that, but I'd say that 95% of the time public speaking is not something you must do. So, if it that "painful", I'd say just don't do it. The world won't end.

ailonon Microsoft should be way more careful with messaging

The point is that this should be said during keynotes - the only thing that public sees. Only devs see breakout sessions, not decision makers.

ailonon Samsung's Bada OS growing faster than Windows Phone

Yeah, my daughter (13) was explaining something to her friend like:

D: there's this thing on Android too F: what's Android?? D: your phone!

Still way more of Android users know that they have an Android phone than Symbian/Bada. Actually most likely no less than iPhone users knowing the word iOS (doesn't matter that much in iOS ecosystem though).

ailonon Samsung's Bada OS growing faster than Windows Phone

Samsung is the biggest cellphone maker in the world and they put Bada on a lot of their phones and 95% of the owners of these phones don't know what Bada is. This makes total sense numberwise, but doesn't say anything about Bada's popularity. It's totally like Symbian was the biggest "smartphone" OS just a couple of years ago, just because Nokia was the biggest cellphone maker. Guess how many Nokia owners knew the word Symbian back then?

ailonon AdDuplex launches the first cross promotion network for Windows 8

That's coming. We just wanted to start with technology that is closest to what we are comfortable with and then move into other areas.

And you consider this a spam story because ... ?

ailonon First employee of startup? You are probably getting screwed

If you are going to work as an employee in a startup primarily for the money, you are doing it wrong already.

ailonon First employee of startup? You are probably getting screwed

The question is: would someone working on 100k salary invest real 50k into a startup? And the answer is 99.9% no. They'll just spend the 50k on fancier food and other crap.

ailonon Google Reader + Disqus would be a better Google+ than Google+

Robert Scoble actually blogs on G+. Other people do too.

ailonon Google Reader + Disqus would be a better Google+ than Google+

My problem is that it tries to be both a replacement for Facebok/Twitter and blogs/RSS. I don't think that is what I want to see in one stream.

ailonon Android income experiment - or why AdMob sucks

In PPV no one can defraud you with fake clicks. You are not paying for clicks. And generating thousands of impressions for fraud purposes is less trivial task than just a few clicks here and there.

ailonon Android income experiment - or why AdMob sucks

With PPV you would've paid for impressions and, if these didn't result in any return, you'd know that it's not because of fraud/accidental clicks.

ailonon Dear procrastinator

Next task - start listening to the way I talk to myself. I'm going to get to it right after I check the twitter. Honest!

ailonon Don't Automate Technical Administrivia in a Startup

It's not a text file and it's not the point. The specific task doesn't matter. And even if someone spent 6 hours only because he/she didn't know of some tool that might accomplish the task faster it's still 6 hours :)
