Would you like a copy of Noteless, that so many users loved already, absolutely free?

Not sure? Check out this video.

Noteless raises the bar for iOS note taking applications. The elegant interface uses natural swiping gestures as the core of it's functionality.

Want a new note? Simply swipe across the screen from right to left as if you were pulling back the top sheet of a real pad of paper.

Want to find an existing note? Swipe across the screen from left to right. Your paper will move out of the way and you will be able to see a complete list of previous notes. We've also included full text search, so if you have hundreds of notes you can now easily find the ones you're looking for.

Want to have your notes everywhere? Noteless includes powerful syncing functionality that allows you to sync your notes with either Dropbox or Google Docs so your notes are available anywhere you need them.

Noteless includes all of the standard functionality you expect from a note application including the ability to email your notes and change the typeface your notes are presented with.

With Noteless, we've drastically reduced the standard note-taking interface while improving the overall user experience. We know you'll agree that in the case of Noteless, less is more.

Try your luck.

What is really interesting to me is that developers do seem to generate more revenue over time (on average). This should be encouraging if you really want to make games, but your first game was a flop. Fear not! 50% of developers who have only released one game made under $500 on that game. However, the more games developers had released, the more per-game average revenue they seem to generate. This seems to validate the old adage: practice makes better than doing something once. Wait…that’s not quite right…

Great (and long) post with results of iOS game revenue survey. Good tool to make a decision whether to enter this market, or buy yourself a beer and stay at home. :)

Stanford Engineering professors are offering three of the school’s most popular computer science courses for free online this fall, and at the same time launching an experiment that could transform the way online education is delivered.

The professors are taking technologies designed to enhance learning for Stanford students and extending them to a broad online audience. They are delivering lectures as short, interactive video clips that allow students to progress at their own pace through course materials. They are offering live quizzes with instant feedback.  And they are testing new technologies that allow students to rank questions that should be posed to the instructors.

The professors also hope to extend the benefits of Stanford-style education to those who lack access.

“Both in the United States and elsewhere, many people simply do not have access to a high-quality education.  By putting out this initial set of courses, we hope to teach some of the latest computing technologies to anyone who wants to learn it – for free,” said Andrew Ng, an associate professor of computer science who is teaching a new online machine learning course.

The three courses – Machine Learning, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Introduction to Databases – cover material that forms the basis of some of the most prevalent technologies today, from online shopping to web search and robotics.

Amazon is giving away the small Linux instances for free starting the 1st of November for 1 year. Sounds like a decent bait for developers.

Getting bumped from a flight could be either a blessing or a curse. Here's how to make the most of getting bumped, whether it's voluntary or not.

I have never been bumped from a flight, but frankly speaking I don't flight that much. Odds are small indeed, however, the most people whom I know and who got bumped are not frequent flyers either. And the biggest score was the free upgrade to business class for a 3 hours flight for giving up a whole day in airport (good for my friend, he was local, so he just returned back home). Good to know anyway.

...many early adapters (web developers and geeks) started creating some cool stuffs wtih the cleaner HTML5/CSS3 codes. In case you wanted to be one of them but don’t know where to start, here are list of useful HTML5 tutorials to get you started.
