Hacker News on Dropbox: Why would anyone want this? I can do this already with my home PC, all I need to do is install package xyz and let it run in the background. How does this handle duplicates, this is doomed to fail.

Does anyone have any idea how to buy BTC if you're in Australia?

I don't Couchsurf, I prefer a proper room from AirBnB. It's almost as cheap as couchsurfing and I get more privacy and services.

Thanks :)

> I'm not aware of any evidence of this, and I don't even remember any of my Apple fanatic friends even claiming this. Any references?

From my personal experience, yeah they do last a lot longer than my other PCs, maybe with the exception of ThinkPad. Mac hardwares are very strong and well designed. Most other PC manufacturers needs to cut cost from every single component, thus they won't be able to use the highest quality components.

Truth is, there aren't as many people like you and me who would pay $20 a month to Everpix. So many people are just not worried about their data until something bad happens to them.

I kept telling every single friend every time I see them post data loss grief status update on Facebook - use Dropbox, use CrashPlan, use iCloud, etc etc. And yet it seems like they either think that their data is not worth $5 a month, or that once accident happens to them it can't happen for the second time.

What the world really needs is an education of how important it is to backup our data.

Really? My iPhone 5 and my friend's iPhone 4 feels as fast as ever in iOS 7.

My iPad however, has jaggy animations when opening multitasking interface.

It's the same with any modern Apple products too. People called iPads and iPhones stupid.

There must be a better way to do this. I can't un vote and we can't see the breakdown in a pie/bar chart.

Is the license perpetual or will I stop receiving updates after 1 year (or after Reveal 2.0)?

Remember this is Play Store not App Store. Apple can not pull anything out of the Play Store.

What they can do is to shut off the backend because they probably don't have rights to use it anyway.

Does it actually register as an iMessage? I wonder how they pulled it off.

I'm very curious about what he will come up with.

I'm not sure if you're trolling, but have you seen WWDC in the past year or two? The innovation in OS X and iOS is at an amazing rate.

What is wrong with the interviewer? Towards the end she kept pushing Woz to say that Apple is in decline. Even after Woz repeatedly said that he didn't believe so.

Is this the view of the general public? That Apple is doomed if they don't release iWatch or whatever that's bigger than the iPhone/iPad?

I'm still curious what they're going to do about these apps: Find my friends, Airport Utility, Apple Remote, iTunes Connect Mobile, Apple Store.

It's a bit of what Windows 8 tried to do. The simple mode is the metro UI, and the normal mode is the old desktop. It solves the problem, but not many people likes it.

It's a joke. Trust me.

developer here: Can't believe I met you here :) your domain was the first one that we wanted to buy but isn't available.

yeah, if there's enough people who are confused about what this is about, I might write a blog post about it.

the developer here: yes, that is what it's about :)

- Be honest about your experience, and tell them what you are really comfortable with. If you got 3 months experience in Objective-C, don't say 1 year, and tell them what parts/concepts of Objective-C you have used. Don't get too hung up if your skills aren't what they're looking for. Good employers know that someone with a strong technical background can learn anything given enough time.

- If they are giving you a puzzle, try your best to solve it. Do not be too worried if you can't solve it. Most of them will give you hints. I have been offered jobs when I couldn't solve their puzzles.

- If they're asking about opinionated questions (OSX/Linux/Windows, Git/Hg, Java/C, iOS/Android, etc), they are probably just testing your reasoning. It doesn't matter what you answer as long as you have your reasoning. Telling them you use Hg because your boss told you so is not good. It's always good to have a good lookout on new technologies.

- Go to meetups and talk to people. You will probably find a lot of jobs there. Be open, tell them you are looking for a job.

- Wear a t shirt and jeans. Drink lots of water and maybe a cup of coffee.

As an Indonesian, I can concur.

PayPal, etsy, and eBay is like a disease over there. No one wants to deal with third party eCommerce platform. I don't know whether it is because of the cost or other things.

What I know is you can not scale verification of bank transfers once it reaches a certain number.

Hey! I am also in this position, where I am eagerly doing so much marketing everyday hoping for a hockey stick growth.

I've always thought startups has to have this hockey stick growth, because if we're going to fail, it's better to fail fast than spend another year not growing rapidly.

But where would you draw the line? Would having a growth that generates enough revenue to cover operation cost enough?

Good job, thank you so much. Public Trello board is a brilliant idea too :)

Somebody please pack this all together and sell it for $50. This is how Apple do business. Sell hardware and software together.

Thank you, I do realise that too. I'll try to do a design refresh soon.

Just a note to fellow developers: if you started developing for iOS way before storyboards and started working on a new project with storyboard, some methods are not behaving as it was previously.

For example in the awakeFromNib and viewDidLoad method, views that you created in storyboard wouldn't have been initialised even thought it used to work like that in Interface Builder. See this SO answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12811188/361247

It might've been a better idea to remap the eject button on CD drive less MacBooks. But it would still be weird, I'd just use fn + delete.
