Saw this a couple days ago but in OC: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5132971

It would help if you post where you're located as laws varies by state and if you're not in the US, even more so. I don't believe you're under any obligation to and I'm sure they're asking to ensure you don't leak anything. If I were you, I'd just clarify with them but wouldn't sign.

Old stuff, new stuff, literally everything on the internet gets reposted somewhere (sometimes thousands upon thousands of times over again) and there will always be clones of something. Its a losing war and one not even worth thinking about in the first place.

1. The hardware and quality is second to none (personal opinion) to any PC equivalent regardless of operating system. Not even a Thinkpad which is what most PC users would often tout in my experience. Apple also leads the way in some areas of innovation here in terms of the hardware arguments.

2. The trackpad is amazing. I haven't found an equivalent elsewhere.

3. In terms of OS, Linux and Windows are both designed to be installed on almost any computer, including all Macs. You can do this by bootcamp, booting directly into the OS, or running virtual machine (what I do) and can run simutaneous OSes for various different testing and stuff without a problem. For the longest time, the opposite was not true (up until Lion) i.e. it wasn't legal to do so and even now its not very compatible. Doing a hackintosh sucks and have major drawbacks for anyone that has done this.

As a result, with a Mac, I get superior hardware, all the software options, and it runs phenomenally. And having used some Linux distro, Macs, and Windows, I can tell you I strongly prefer OS X first, Linux second, and forget Windows entirely.

There really isn't much of a competition. This is of course a vague overview. There are tons of other underlying reasons I won't get into as its too much to write about in terms of the OS and software/tools and how that adds to the development process itself which for my workflow, there are many non-comparables in either of the other two categories of OSes, especially Windows.

BONUS: You can develop for anything with a Mac, especially for the setup I laid out, but you can't say the same is true for everything else given that iOS requires a Mac.

Side note: this should have been a poll.

Somebody somewhere out there will find value for this. I just don't know what that number is for you.

...

What do you think about the usability of the app?

I personally don't care about pagerank when looking for a domain. I care more about the domain itself. Others my differ. Just a personal preference. In my experience, pagerank is meaningless.

...

I thought the name was cute - Do you think I'd face any issues with it? (legal issues from GoDaddy)

GoDaddy also owns gomommy.com so not sure. In the grand scheme of things, probably unlikely but I'm not a lawyer and this is purely an opinion.

...

How could I monetize it? Do you think its valuable enough to pay a monthly fee - $10 a month?

I personally wouldn't pay for a service like this but someone else might. Not exactly the most helpful answer but there is a target audience for most things. You just gotta go find them.

Both iPhone and iPad screenshots available.

It was released awhile back.

2. There is no point in regrets and asking "what if". Better to focus your energy in putting you best foot forward and figuring out what you want to do next base on what you feel is best for yourself. I'm confident many people, if not everyone, has had opportunities they've passed on in their lives but its not worth dwelling on. Easier said than done for many, however, but you should still try to move forward.

Clearly I would take Google's suggested release date with a grain of salt.
