ramayac··on The Science Behind Honey’s Eternal Shelf Life
Not exactly, the secret it's is acidity: "It [Honey] has a pH that falls between 3 and 4.5, approximately, and that acid will kill off almost anything that wants to grow there". Which makes the life expectancy of bacteria and fungi inside of honey too low.
ramayac··on The Great App.net Mistake
If App.net it's trying to be a "social backend"... if that IS the case, then their work it's harder than just being a "Twitter alternative". But I'm really hoping they manage to make it!
ramayac··on 5 reasons why hourly rate is better than fixed price
Love this quote: "The second we are in consulting, we're in business, not an hourly employee. It's a comfort net to say otherwise of not having to learn business skills."

ramayac··on Show HN: Yoleo – A Beautiful RSS Reader
"I wanted to offer the service to people that might not be able to afford it, and not have them punished by having fewer features."

That's neat, why don't consider some kind of sponsorship program? A user that can pay, can sponsor one or two more users who can't, that would be nice :)

ramayac··on Vine Launches Android Version, Forgets to Publish App
Exactly what I was thinking, but Snapchat has arround 3.9 MB so I guess it's not that far appart? Maybe it has some HD graphics or it could be a PhoneGap app? Who knows, but for the size of it, I hope it makes my coffee in the morning :)
ramayac··on Negative SEO: Looking for Answers from Google
Really?, wow... I had no idea about that. I bought some followers for a client once, but "1000's of links" for $20 sounds surreal (at least for me!)

ramayac··on Make $30 an hour, no bachelor's degree required
It's not a "bad" decision if you focus on Android development or you are working for a big company with Java infrastructure (that pay's my bills :). How ever, as they say: "don't keep all your eggs in just one basket". Learn other languages and frameworks like PHP/Yii, Python/Django or Ruby/Ruby On Rails. And code for different platforms (iOS, Windows Phone) if you have the time ;)
ramayac··on The dying platform: .Net
Ok... let's believe for a moment that .NET is dying, so what platform you think it's ready to take it's place?
ramayac··on The dying platform: .Net
"You know your platform has jumped the shark when it comes bundled with a toolbar.", that was such a sad episode. Oh well, while the Android ecosystem doesn't make a switch, I guess I'll keep using it.

ramayac··on MBA - good or bad for a tech start-up?
Yes, sadly it's true, I'm an MBA Student right now, and I feel I don't have enough time for launching/producing anything!

That being said, I don't drop the MBA because of the insights I'm getting from so many different industries. As a full time programmer, it's being really helpful to have this extra knowledge.
