You need to translate things for an international rollout which takes time. Plus US is a known devil and easier to rollout and look at numbers to fix the glitches.
Sure. But that shouldn't be a reason to not launch it in India, for example. I have never seen a non-english keyboard in my life here.
Very few countries have internationalization as a necessity. For most places, having the app in native language is a plus, but most people still frequently use the web in English.
I mean, Instagram could figure all the rollout challenges with a single digit amount of people. One would expect a post-IPO company to do so too.
Also the headphone jack is available on all phones and if you develop for 30 pin interface, you have to design different hardware connector for different phones
It says right below the video that it's a comedy sketch.
"his video is a teaser for our new comedy screenplay about what it means to be a little guy in the land of giants. This is our Christmas gift to the working class."
the issue i face is, when i start working on my side project at 8pm i just want to keep working on it and before i realize its 3/4am and now i am late for office next day :(
haha. I hear you brother. And let me guess, after spending the whole week burning the midnight oil and getting 3-4 hours sleep per night, you catch up by sleeping all day saturday?
why will foursquare and gowalla in trouble. Apple's blog clearly says you cant get user location only for ads but if you are using it for other features you can get it and use it anyway you like.
i will say unless you plan to make small changes, you wont get much out of studying the source code. fixing small bugs in an open source project will expose you to lot of portions of source code and also give you some rep in case you want to become a contributor later
if i had the money, i will increase my hiring spend as you can get much better people because number of new startups reduce and also less competition in hiring
Compared to what myspace already has it would be a drop in the bucket though.
I think myspace just needs to be seen as doing something (anything) and they need to prop up their rapidly failing numbers. Since mid 2008 they've halved in traffic, a trend that they'll have to stop somehow.
At least this gives them a way to get the myspace.com domain in the press in a positive way.
Well, Myspace has its own set of artists with a loose structure. iLike, on the other hand, has a comprehensive list of musicians that it builds (rather than having individual musicians add themselves), and it has a slew of information including track listings for albums, videos, and tour dates.
