How do you do C++ on the iPhone? I thought it required Objective C and working with the Cocoa GUI?

Stuff gets lost all the time. Deal with it.

Our full prototype is earning revenue. Javascript is extending into desktop applications through Webkit and I'd say HTML/CSS/Javascript is the core GUI skillset for anyone who wants to work on next-gen cross platform applications.

If you're working for other people be a specialist. If you're working for yourself you have to be a generalist. Very difficult to effectively manage and coordinate something you don't really understand.

Why did the magazine endorse Bush in 2000 and then again in 2004? What exactly is obvious in retrospect that wasn't apparent to even marginally informed observers at the time.

The Economist has been a weathervane since they decided expanding into the US market required an editorial shift to the right. The International Herald Tribune is producing much higher quality and politically neutral reporting these days imho.

It should be three periods when it comes in the middle of a sentence, and four periods when it finishes a sentence....

"I just hired someone to take care of my house for $50,000 a year: A house manager. This is in addition to the full-time nanny I have. And the cleaning service. And the assistant I have at work."

Trouble making payroll? Get rid of your full-time nanny, and assistant, and cleaning service and house manager. Sounds like the investors are getting fleeced.

You've said elsewhere you earned $1000 USD your first year. At that rate of income I doubt your expenses are factoring in your time.

Not being critical or aggressive here. I'm in the online content business myself, but we have costs associated with content production and would be out of business fast if we only earned 1k a year. I don't think your experience generalizes to a lot of other cases, that's all

The decent Chinese pianos already import the strings and soundboards from abroad (or purchase them from manufacturers in-country). A lot of the equipment has an undeservedly poor reputation: the low end of the market is about $2000 USD not $10,000 USD. Perhaps shipping internationally is really driving those costs up.

Regardless, it's great news if people who don't play keep purchasing instruments - it increases the size of the market and drives down the costs for people who do play but don't have money, like me.

99% percentile on verbal. Didn't really study for it though, just read a lot as a kid and had the fortune to have studied Latin.

Worth mentioning that my life doesn't correlate to success in any meaningful way, except that I keep making decisions which make me happy if poor.
