Hey friends! Our iPhone app just got approved! Uses GPS to show you the best music venues in your area and see Who’s Playing there soon (hah :p). We could use your help in checking out our venues, and letting us know if we missed any that you like. It is free to download via the link below. Good reviews would be awesome if you have time! (Sorry international friends, U.S. only for now…)

I’m American, and I’m sick of people saying America is “the stupidest country in the world.” Personally, I think Europe is the stupidest country in the world.

What I’ve heard (and am about to find out) is that Master’s programs in CS don’t do much more than undergraduate degrees. Maybe if you’re lucky you do a little more research, you write a thesis, and then you’re in the exact same position you were a year or two ago.
What I’m thinking is.. Just start doing stuff on your own. Figure out things you want to make and try to make them. Join some open-source projects, start some open-source projects, build a portfolio of things that you made and code you’ve written that potential employers can actually look at. At this point I’m just regurgitating advice that I’ve heard too many times, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good advice.

You really need to do this. Here was my thought process…
I’m vaguely interested in this, so I’m going to go to the site to check it out. —> Hmm, okay 50 dollars, what was I here for again? —> Oh, iPhone app template, cool. Let’s see, $50 is a lot, I wonder what I get. —> That picture can’t possible be what I get, so I want to know what I get. —> This is too hard to figure out, I’m gonna look for an open-source version. —> …
Not that I’m gonna be your typical customer, but maybe I could have been. YMMV.
[Edit] To be fair, I spent a little more time on your site and I like what I see, but that reaction should happen on the front page.
