For a non-game app, how hard it is to use cross-platform tools such as Sencha/PhoneGap to develop for both Android and iPhone (and maybe even for tablet) at the same time?
At the moment we have 5 small Linode VPSes (1.5/1/1/768/768) for app/db/solr/redis/async-jobs and paying around $200/month.
I've been looking for alternatives, preferably hybrid dedicated/cloud with good RAM/IO for app/cache/db and cloud based storage. Rackspace seems to offer something like this, but at a higher price. Any other suggestions?
What is amazing is how much of those timeless insights is still relevant 6 years from its writing, or even 6 years from now into the future.
What is more amazing is even someone who possesses so much insights, has sufficient financial ammunition and more than enough connection and reputation couldn't make alltop.com a big success.
There is actually a list of filter keyword links right above the products. Those are the sample keywords that I want to prime my users, actually with "laptop" as the last keyword. Though I do know it's not obvious enough to most visitors.
The dilemma is if I start to promote things that _you_ care about, my existing users will feel that I'm turning my back on them and quickly drop off.
Geez, I wish I were Pinterest that only needs to serve 50-70 year old females forever :-P
How about comparing the number of real-life web applications (i.e., not counting final year projects) in each framework, or the number of users each of them serves?

It all sounds good on paper, the only problem is: Can you name one very successful startup that initially focused on developing country and later took over the world? Why?

Zurb Foundation is a very nice responsive framework. I'm both happy to see it here on HN and sorry to find that the post has done a terrible job at capturing readers' attention during the first 5 seconds.
Dell's latest XPS 14z (14") and 15z (15.6") are designed after MBP. You can easily get an i7/8G RAM/1080FHD screen/750G 7200RPM HDD XPS below $1000 ( http://bizspeaking.com/?q=dell+xps+15z ) compared to Apple's $2199 i7/4G RAM/1440x900 screen/750G 5400RPM MBP. How about the OS? Give all the RAM to the MacOS VM. And if you sneer at VM, with the $1000+ saved, upgrade to 16G RAM / 512G SSD and still have some change left for beer.
Hi Dalton, why do you think picplz's user acquisition rate falls behind Instagram's one-platform by a few factor? If travel back in time, what would you do differently to win?
