A much needed innovation in a rather stale segment of dev tools

Which utopian planet do you live on? Since when asking to leave the people who're squatting in your house illegally is a bizarre thing to do? In most places in the world, illegal occupants deal not with a couple of polite and scared copywriters but with law enforcement & enraged legal owners of the property.

I am officially addicted. One can't make anything that sounds bad with it! So badass.

Can anyone tell me if this is a nicely wrapped Phonegap or a completely new commercial framework that does the same thing as Phonegap?

yep, mobeers 3 is currently being planned right now. very big names are on their way to waterloo ;)

It's wrong for people to think they are better off than they are because such thinking leads to decisions that will hurt Joes in the end. It's exactly Joes who shoot themselves in the foot by thinking that it's an each man for himself world.

"Joe the Plumber" syndrome is often a strong indicator of that person taking Ayn Rand way too seriously.

In a similar fashion, Amazon could give you the physical keys from their AWS datacentres or otherwise you could just buy some hardware, install linux on all of them and run your own cloud infrastructure.

It's exaggerated, of course, but i hope rationale behind the api is more clear this way :)

It is designed for content - textual & binary. While I can imagine an ugly fugly way to overload the api and use it for chat functionality within your app, but then it would make for a really bad user experience within your app.

This version of the SDK was designed with the sole intent of content sharing.

Well, Sketchee is probably the simplest app imaginable. You can build out on top if it. For instance, a canv.as derivative app, where you could prepopulate most popular meme images and let people create and share photobombs with their friends.

Also, basic things like location & media sharing were intentionally left out for third party app developers to get creative with.

Finally we know what's going with iLBC codec. For more than a year it's been in a limbo.

Genius marketing. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is a fake tumblr account made with the sole purpose of getting traffic to the app website. Excellent execution then :)

yep, pure gold of a punchline

Donating 100% and expecting no returns.

This is not a company donation but a personal one.

Can you please explain more why psychiatrists get it easier?

Very good point. Somehow everyone is skipping the fact that Ted was a CO-OP STUDENT during his work at RIM.

Hey Guys,

Those are actually real accounts backed by unique emails. We haven't expected such a viral growth ourselves but.. we don't complain :) Other than complete lack of sleep due to the scaling needs.

Hence my question: are there any brilliant server developers looking for a job with Kik? :)
