All of the people in the video who are using the app and responding to the alert are actual users who have been actively participating in our beta in New York City.

We debated whether to leave those statistics in, even though we're citing major sources. You can look at these statistics from different angles.

Our main point is that there is still a real and often growing problem with violent crime, especially in the communities we're working with. Many people still feel very unsafe and are looking for solutions.

We've gotten a lot of positive feedback both from police and civilians. People are excited to see a tech company trying to help, and they have told us they feel safer when others are recording the scene in a peaceful and unbiased way. During our beta tests we had users help deter crime, break up fights, and support their neighbors.

Why not just store them in the blockchain, where there's no possibility of erasing them?

Do the TOS require you to only store them in mutable data storage?

Two questions to think about:

1) if you can't convince someone to work with you to build this how will you convince customers to buy it?

2) if you believe in the idea enough, what's keeping you from learning to code?

I do the same thing. The article described my sentiments exactly... I feel like I'm missing out on something. Especially for a bigger purchase, a 10% off coupon can save $100-200 and is worth waiting for sometimes

I had the same issue. iOS 6 / iPhone 5 Have to quit the app and reopen to get back to main screen

Did anyone see a listing of the stores at which the trial is being run?

Is it possible that the app review teams were instructed to find a reason to reject all apps in a given category for a month or two leading up to the release of iOS7? Were other weather-related apps approved recently?

Agreed. Had the same thought.

I feel this way with respect to sites that I am forced to sign up for just to view the demo. Sites that I will never use again ... I don't want them being my best friend yet.

If I've tried the demo and I am actually signing up to use your site, this type of email would be tolerable, but again, I generally don't want to engage with the company unless I have an issue.

The only time I can see this being welcome to me is in a B2B context where I have signed a longer-term contract for a solution that my business will need support for.

Completely agree. The UX of Rdio is far superior, IMHO.
