Quasi is rad. I've been riding Polar boards lately which are also cool.


Wow, just checked out their site and I am blown away. Thanks for sharing!


I think the value here is that they can help sway other large companies to support the open source movement.


Flywheel makes it more bearable that I am working on a WordPress site right now. Wait, that's a bit dramatic.


I signed up. Already using it to check if a server goes down. Have a lot more things I plan to use it for as well. Awesome service.


When I pay premium prices for apps it is under the assumption that I am helping the developers maintain and improve the application.

If you are hoping to sell, you should price your app at $.99 and hope to get as many users as possible. That also helps me know what your plan is.


While it is a shame to the app effectively killed, calling it premium priced is just a reflection of how the app store has forced developers to push prices to the absolute bottom. Ad-in the fact that they had no recurring revenue model, getting a ton of new users could actually have been a false economy for them. They did not owe users an explanation of their future business plans, that's not how it works.

It's an e-mail client. The major competitors are pretty much webmail (free), Outlook Express (free), Outlook (which you'd only use if you already paid for it as part of Office), Thunderbird (free), and Apple Mail (free). So, yes, it's a premium price for an e-mail client.


Premium prices? $9.99? Are you kidding?

I have been experimenting with days off (that I hope to turn to weeks or months) of looking at or reading other people's work in favor of exploring my own ideas in a more complete way. That being said, if you live in a cave you will be making cave paintings while others paint the chapel.

And if you live where nobody else does, you will build what nobody has imagined.

>he was increasingly isolated from the rest of the physics community. Because of the huge strides made by quantum theory in unraveling the secrets of atoms and molecules, the majority of physicists were working on the quantum theory, not relativity.

Nonetheless, what I said was inaccurate. Isolation does breed creativity but the fruits of it must be shared if something meaningful is to occur.
