This is an excellent deck, why have not seen this before! Was this on HN?

I agree with almost all his points, insiders are very bullish on Apple, the feeling's that %600 is nowhere near the peak, it'll be more like $1K. On the other hand, Google has started to give off the "has-peaked" vibe: the silly badmouthing of rivals, huge reorgs, half-thought out failed projects, not being clear of where to go next and milking the usual cow, etc.

One important point that he makes that I think is important to reiterate is how open the mobile area is, since non of the big guys currently have good extensions. So I think we'll see more of the Instagram-type successes (probably not on the $1B level, though).

Takeaways if you're an up and coming, young (or otherwise) developer: Learn the Apple stack (70% of your time) and learn HTML5/JS (20%).

Agreed, and yeah - it's actually the one thing I've ever submitted (I'm a relative n00b), but it didn't get any ups.

I feel strongly about pushing it and getting it out there though. What's the etiquette on resubmissions?

I think you can definitely resubmit, but pick your time wisely, there are many HN discussions on this.
Late-morning to early afternoon, I'm reading? Fuck it, we'll do it live! :)
