Even though it's great value, it still costs around $400


There's browser extensions to do this


on level 5 i tried to modify the url, but my quotes are automatically encoded, also tried encoding it using %22.. but didn't work.. I'm using chrome on osx, could it be a browser thing, i managed to get it to work by manually modifying the html using the developer tools :p


last hint helped me


Good job. I'd also be eager to see your sales in a future post!


can you suggest some alternatives to the pi?


The new Cubieboard recently hit HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4696965

Here's a list of other alternatives (caveat emptor): http://www.redferret.net/?p=33596

Perhaps this will be a good opportunity for open-source alternatives to finally take off if Microsoft kills off the Linux/OS X/iOS/Android versions...


Can't happen, at least in the US, for patent reasons.


Can you give us a clue? :P

Anyway pretty good UI, a few suggestions: Perhaps you could add a graph of the normal distribution and where you lie on it. Choosing the location of your workplace is a little confusing at first, it might be more intuitive to make it similar to the Facebook checkin sections, show a list of places nearby. Just curious if you are making any ad revenue yet? :P


That is no indication... wouldn't someone who was trying to sell a stolen computer try to wipe it first? Not all thieves are totally stupid.


Even if you are from a 3rd world, if you can afford a smartphone worth several hundred dollars wouldn't you be able to afford a 99c app?


Wow, I didn't realize Angry Birds is really 99 cents. I was thinking they cost U$ 15 or something (even Plants vs Zombies, which is U$ 19 on the PC and I was considering buying, is only 3 dollars for the iPhone).

My father bought a Samsung Galaxy last week, and it's carrier subsidized so he pays 20 dollars/month for a year.

My own Nokia N86 was also carrier subsidized at U$ 30/month for a year (and that included 300 minutes' worth of calls).

Even the iPhone is carrier subsidized at about U$ 50/month for 2 years.

In those cases, paying an extra U$ 15 would make a difference, but U$ 0.99.. you're absolutely right.
