Submission + - Secret to Building an App Empire? Copy other successful apps! (fourhourworkweek.com)
edmicman writes: Tim Ferriss' blog features an article titled "How to Build an App Empire: Can You Create The Next Instagram?" by serial mobile app creator Chad Mureta. Essentially the secret is not creating a brand new innovative idea — it's taking what's topping the charts already in the App Store and mimicking those apps, sometimes adding your own twist.

Submission + - 64-bit Kernel mode only OS, No Wussies (losethos.com)
losethos writes: "LoseThos is an open source, free, 64-bit operating system created absolutely from scratch with no restrictions (freer than GPL). It's designed to serve people who program for entertainment. It just supports a VGA display, keyboard, mouse, harddrive, CD-ROM and internal PC speaker. What more do you need for writing games? It's designed to serve as a supplemental operating system you duel boot to for this purpose. It's modern, however, supporting 64-bit (only) computing and multicore processors. It's like the old days when you could access all memory, use all instructions, access all ports, read all disk blocks. The memory space is identity mapped to physical memory so you can easily have processes interact. It has the most advanced command-line on the planet, seriously. Basically, as you type, it goes straight into a C/C++ compiler, with code outside functions executing immediately and the command line supports a variety of widgets including graphic, trees and file links."
