Very clean iPhone App. I like it. No locations near me (chicago). I especially like the About screen with the pull down scroll to reveal the version number, nice little touch.

I signed up, I look forward to giving your service a try in the future!

yep this is awesome, you'll have me as customer for sure, as this is something I have wanted for a while because quicktime's trim is ok, but I like being precise with my cuts.

So I am giving you my full permission to email me when you come out with this for real. +1

The things I really liked, In point - I, out point - O, trim, extract split, skip and step = pure awesomeness.

bugs?

1) Clicking on the in moves the white ball scrubber to the end of the timeline.

* would be cool if I could set in and out by click on them where the playhead is, I and O works great, this could be a nice complement.

Few nitpicks from how I see things

1) I think you should add a preference for the playbar thing to show always. when I'm in this sort of program, the editing is more important to me then see the top and bottom part of the video.

2) Inside of encoders pref tab, maybe include why i would want to use this, and where I could possibly download this if I wanted to use this. I'm sure your not including it because of the licensing mess, but as a simple user I wouldn't know what this is all about.

3) the open other thing people mention earlier, threw me for loop as well

4) i haven't tried any of the sharing options, because I already have methods to get everything where it needs to be, so if you dropped these it wouldn't matter to me, but very cool for including them, I'll try them out at some point.

All in all very cool, please keep me in the loop with your developments, contact is in my profile.

Where are you hosting this and what type of memory usage are you getting? Thanks, neat site!

I think most Paul Carr articles on techcrunch usually start out "NSFW:" mainly because most of the time they are, this just happen to be on the lighter side of things.

Water, diet coke, coke. Beer: standards are fat tire and heinekens. If a recent trip was made to wisconsin, spotted cow beer(I'm in Illinois so it's not available here)

That demo video has an iPad running 4.2 I'd be careful, that's still in beta.

I didn't get it at first as well, all i heard was "View" on the phone. Did you try scrolling down a bit to the section - "Events show below as people and phones hit the above URLs," your actions get appended below that like.

  {"action":["+XXX-xxx-xxxx","1"]}
  {"action":["+XXX-xxx-xxxx","9"]}

BTW - this is damn awesome, thanks open sourcing this.

I am very much in, is there a decided venue for the updates?

Bassdrive.com smooth liquid dnb!

Do you by chance have a link to this guide?

A small web scraper to get my gears of war 2 multiplayer stats.

This looks awesome, thanks for posting this. I plan on taking a look at it and using it for an iPhone app or two.

I was working on a little side startup that used crowdsourcing to help ID songs, I was just getting into researching how programs like shazam and midomi worked until I killed the project. His paper and the way it works is quite nice, but it's not perfect for other rare music and songs without elements that really stand out(frequencies or otherwise like house music). Thanks for the link!

I think you can download them, you just need to login.

Great stuff! You get Reason to sound really good, if you didn't say that I would have never guessed you were using it. Props

If they did it right you can still listen to it while it's locked.

The top text blinks.... Plus 1000 points

yes it sure is - I think the slant they were going for, is a streaming/on-demand app linked in to a massive content provider, but other then that if you have a little bit of time and a little bit of handbrake, you can be that 'v for vendetta' guy (although your battery might not make it)

Chicago, IL. I think I'm the only person awake right now too.

from the comments: http://www.perfectacumen.com/welcome/

Everything is all about marketing now. Getting coverage and the word out there - makes a big difference (not that I've done that with my apps).

How are you going to compete with the likes of EA, LucasArts, ngmoco, Konami and capcom with massive budgets and connections? For me it seems you need to create something different/wonky that people will talk about, or the staff likes, to get on the top 25 or other lists.

Simply making something and putting it up there won't make you shit, I know I got one up there.

>> An Orwellian review team which does not communicate to anyone (even inside Apple), uneven policies which change at random times leading to horror stories form Shaken Babies to Google Voices

I agree for the most part with this. Any sort of crazy idea I have, I immediately think I'm not gonna bother with this because it takes to much time to develop just to be denied by Apple, for some arcane reason, and get a rejection letter with a nondescript problem. Other problems with the review process, you have absolutely no idea how long it will take.

I would love to get some sort of lead time, or amount of apps before yours.

For me it's a crap shoot, but I make things I like and want, if I plan to send it to the store, because I think others might enjoy them, I test them out to the best of my potential and try to conform to Apple's HIG.

My question is this: If you run a company and you caused this (I am in no way calling them out or anything). If you realized you just did this, how do you react? 1) Email the entire list again saying you apologize for that or 2) handle the email on a one-to-one?

EDITED: tsondermann points out they used option 1. I am not a member, so I did not know. I edited this to be more general.

Unless I am wrong, you can control what your application is rated. Just check the far right column in iTunes connect when it asks, and it should give you a higher rating.

There was some talk about not being able to get promo codes for +17 a few weeks back, I don't know if that applies anymore, but it might be something to consider if you are changing your rating just for this.

EDIT: I think I read this wrong

There is also this from awhile ago http://tomayko.com/writings/rest-to-my-wife

YES! are the #spymaster ones done yet, haven't seen that many floating around

I don't think he is the type of person that is going to go on record conceding that his massive investment is losing out to a competitor. He is right about sharing music (can you create artist pages on fb?), but he's wrong about sharing everything else, photos, videos, thoughts. Facebook is more then a directory.

The only thing about this I really ever heard was the fact that they strip out all whitespace, but checking http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co... it seems as if they don't use quotes on tag attributes where ever they are not necessary as well as many other things I was taught not to use, to produce valid code.

God this is a perfect post for techcrunch. complaining and Twitter.

Just a few ideas off the top of my head, have you tried submitting to masshable, I sent one email and got covered. Traffic was nice, but did die down, but the amount of people that recycle(copy) thier posts has a nice trailing effect. They are more keen to mention sites with more 'social' aspects.

Have you tried getting onto nbc5 news segments were they talk about websites, I forget what they call it, but I think that might be something worthwhile because it could open your site up to new audience of people who don't read the tech blog and people who consume more tradional media.

Either way greetings from the suburbs and keep the good work up!
