A quote from the recently posted guidelines for iPhone development by Apple:

Thank you for developing for iOS. Even though this document is a formidable list of what not to do, please also keep in mind the much shorter list of what you must do. Above all else, join us in trying to surprise and delight users. Show them their world in innovative ways, and let them interact with it like never before. In our experience, users really respond to polish, both in functionality and user interface. Go the extra mile. Give them more than they expect. And take them places where they have never been before. We are ready to help.

Wouldn’t that be a beautiful mission statement for your company?

This may be old news for you, but I wanted to share it anyway on my blog. A couple of weeks ago I’ve been interviewed by Ryan Parsley on CloudPlumbing.com. We mostly spoke about some of the new projects I’m starting with 39 Inc. as well as the pros in building really focused applications.

You can find the full interview on CloudPlumbing.com.

Your ideas are worth nothing. Until you build them.

I must admit, some of the heads are kinda creepy, but overall this is a great collection of quotes for entrepreneurs. More at http://StartupQuote.com →

Here is a great quote by the US president Theodore Roosevelt from a speech given at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23, 1910.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Brillant

I found this image on internet and I decided to share it with you.

Today is my birthday, so I decided to share this beautiful quote by Jim Jarmusch.
