Here is a Geek And Poke comic from a few days ago, which demonstrates how humble coders are. This equally applies pretty much to any IT specialization. More often than not we tend to think that we know a better way.

Under The Number – It’s Only Right
Most of the music videos that I post in this blog are from well-known bands. Today we’ll go for something completely different. Under The Number – a local band, based in Pafos. The video is not even a music video yet, but the song is pretty cool. Now I’ll just have to catch them playing live somewhere.

If you like this one, there is another song coming out next month. Subscribe to their YouTube channel, visit the web site, and follow them on Facebook not to miss out. Tell a friend too.
Android vs. iOS revenue comparison by game maker
DownloadSquad shares the revenue comparison for the Pocket Legends game, which is exactly the same on iPhone and Android. Never-the-less, for some reason, it generates substantially more revenue on Android. Why could that be?
As much as I would love it to be (I am an Android fan, remember?) due to superiority of Android platform, apps market, and users, I don’t think it is. I can’t know for sure, but I suspect that it has to do with the quality of applications on Android. There are many promising applications of course, but I don’t think they had the time yet to get polished to the level their iPhone counterparts did. I’ve never owned an iPhone myself, but judging by a few quick tours my iPhone buying friends offered, I got the impression that there are more top-quality apps for iPhone. Maybe that is because iPhone had more time. Maybe that is because Apple is setting a high standard and tougher censorship. Maybe that is because money are more naturally involved. Maybe, of course, that is not so at all and I am completely off the charts.
What do you think?
