Should have paid for Packrat then? They're not a charity.

Boston?

What maps is it being overlayed? Haven't seen that one before.

evertonfuller on Instacart launches Shop With Friends

Best of luck with this, I just don't see how it can scale successfully. And what did you need those millions in funding for? To pay the delivery wages which you can never make back?

evertonfuller on Spotify loses $59.1 million on $244.5 million in revenue

It varies by month, by country, and by record label. So it's hard to give an exact figure for every artist. $0.003 is on the top end of the scale though.

evertonfuller on Spotify loses $59.1 million on $244.5 million in revenue

The sooner Spotify shuts down, the better.

evertonfuller on Spotify loses $59.1 million on $244.5 million in revenue

'So much'? You honestly think an artist/label getting $0.003 per play is 'so much'? What world do you live on. At least with iTunes if say 1000 fans your track, you'll get at least $500 from the sales. But if those same 1000 just streamed the track from Spotify, they'd each have to play the track 166 times to get the same royalties.

evertonfuller on Crowd Patronage: How A 400 Year Old Model Can Save The Music Industry

Big labels aren't even filters? They're creators. Without them we'll have no popular music. Where were Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ke$ha, Justin Bieber, .fun, Taylor Swift all before a major took them on? Nowhere. Flopsville. They create mass market products. Without them nobody will have the budget or knowledge to do it. And that'll be a sad day.

evertonfuller on WhatsApp is using your IMEI number as password

Do you think consumers care about walled networks? No.

evertonfuller on Spotify, Pandora, Streaming Music Make Up 25 Percent of Warner Digital Revenue

Who's problem is that though? The artists should have had better legal representation then and made sure they thoroughly understood what they were signing. Not go and complain afterwards.

evertonfuller on Spotify, Pandora, Streaming Music Make Up 25 Percent of Warner Digital Revenue

It's not the artists receiving that, but the actual label themselves. Perhaps get a bit more clued up rather than attacking labels. They are a business after all. Artists do not need to sign with them.

evertonfuller on Show HN: CloudPlay - A music player for YouTube, SoundCloud, and more

Fantastic tool for copyright holders too.

evertonfuller on Zapier (YC S12), The IFTTT For Business Users, Launches Developer Platform

Funny how I said this was an IFTTT clone a few days back and got downvoted to hell...

evertonfuller on Teenager Arrested In England For Criticizing Olympic Athlete On Twitter

It was not just for the Twitter posts, but also his racist and homophobic YouTube videos.

evertonfuller on Why Apple's new ads look like Microsoft made them.

Really like the new ads. So much more mainstream and less elitist. Great job Tim.

evertonfuller on The real reason we’re upset about Sparrow’s acquisition

Am I the only one who didn't use it Gmail accounts?

evertonfuller on Why email is broken and what we can do to fix it

Email is not broken.
It does what it does perfectly.
All these calls for to-do functionality, events planning, etc. Nobody needs it except the writers of these articles. Just use other applications for it. We don't need to shake up email just because you want to.

evertonfuller on Earbits Online Radio and "Promoted Spins"

Had a listen to some channels. The pop ones. Is there any quality control? Half the tracks were horribly produced, mixes were completely off, vocals bleh. Who exactly is Earbits aimed at? There must be a pretty specific niche of people who actually like this stuff. Not the general mainstream fan for sure.

evertonfuller on Twitter Mutual Followers and Unfollows - A Quick Hack

What is the point of this? It was incorrect with the username I put in.

evertonfuller on Anonymous Austria leaks 2.8 GB Scientology Emails

Right with you. This is illegal, plain and simple. Acts like this should not be celebrated. No matter if it's against the 'bad' guys.

Or you could just buy a bare-bones cellphone from Amazon and save yourself the trouble?

evertonfuller on Codename: Obtvse

I'm just struggling to see what's so 'revolutionary' about the design. It's just a bland minimalist modern theme. Anyone could have made it.
Dustin's response was just plain rude, let's recap:
"This is almost unbelievable. No matter what you think about me or my product decisions, it is flatly wrong to ripoff work. It's shameful, even. Please take this site down and delete the Github repository. The work isn't yours. Just wait until Svbtle is finished and open to the public. The reason it's closed is really simple: it's not ready yet."
Get over yourself.

Neat, but doesn't work at all. Just the lists.

Some more details would be good aside from the basically blank hold page.

Off topic.

evertonfuller on RIAA Insists That, Really, The Music Industry Is Collapsing

I don't think anyone here knows how the music industry works.

evertonfuller on Request for Startups: Kill Hollywood.

So you want to kill and industry that thousands of people love and live for, because you want to 'recreate' it for your own financial gain because you're 'tired' of it. Even though you have absolutely nothing to do with it. Just woke up one morning and went. "Oh, let's kill Hollywood because I have a new idea as to how I want it". Great guys...
