Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

In theory, you'd better make ONE awesome iPhone app than several crappy apps/website. Look at Instagram, it never stopped them from spreading. Besides, it helps building the wait in the other markets. That's definitely a good strategy.

I really like Dymant. That's an innovative approach, extremely interesting for selling luxury items.

The link was mandatory.

The point he is trying to make that someone at google could have suspected the high traffic and didn't warn them because it isn't their problem.

And they say that Americans dont get "irony" :-)

No offence, that's a somewhat classical rant of a French who left 5 years ago ;) Actually France is changing. Regulation is becoming easier to deal with, people are more and more entrepreneurs-friendly, etc. This very article proves it. I agree with you concerning the waste of talent in SSII but that too is evolving. Give France some time!

Sorry, but an official program for creating entrepeuners isn't evidence of anything. Entrepeuner friendly governments normaly have less official programs, of any kind.

What's too bad, because Brazil is in exactly that same boat. We also won't have a thriving high-tech industry any time soon.

Seriously, I don't know where this "France is not entrepreneur friendly" rant comes from.

France offers a tremendous amount of help to start, cost of employment is not worse than any other developed country (yes there are a lot of taxes, but salaries are lower because a lot of stuff is provided by the state) and mentalities are evolving towards a more startup-friendly attitude.

The only problem of France are French people who don't believe in their own country.

or in Hollande...

I agree with you that there is a trade-off with social advantages. NHS is not as good as having a carte Vitale but I still prefer to live in London.

For his defense, EasyJet staff is the worse, by far. I can't figure out why they are so unbearable.

EasyJet is akin to Tesco Value - its shit but you generally know what you are getting. Ryanair on the other hand is like dumpster diving - you COULD get a cheap meal but if you aren't careful you'll get food poisoning.

I'd be interested too! I think on iPad, the easiest thing is to have a fixed toolbar at the top of text area. (But still, this repo is a very nice work!)

That is exactly what I do in Hallo: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/hallo-editor/

But how would that work? Is the experience as per Android that if you select text then the OS cut-and-paste dialogue appears?

You could tap the button to add a <strong> element, then type your text and re-tap the button to close </strong>. Or you could select it and tap the button directly, but you'd have to dismiss the OS dialogue. I mean, it looks feasible on iOS, as I don't use Android, I can't really tell…

Presumably like the google drive app, it doesn't show the cut and paste action bar but keeps the formatting bar, it does pop-up a cut and paste dialog.

Evernote does show the cut and paste action bar but also has the text formatting bar at the bottom of the app, which will work on the selection.

I'm fascinated by how schools methodically kill any sense of creativity. The OLPC team once conducted an experiment where they left a few tablets to kids who didn't know how to read nor how to use a computer. Yet, in 5 month, they learned how to hack Android and enable stuff that had been previously disabled by the OLPC team (I believe for security reasons, some sort of parental control). What this example illustrates is how schools create clone workers rather than hackers. And I strongly believe our society needs more hackers, as they apparently are the only ones to be able to foster our world's development.
