Ask HN: Is this a good app launch strategy?After the launches of Haze, Thunderspace and Windy went quite well, I wanted to try something new for the next app: http://getsunnyapp.comPreviously, this was my mobile app marketing strategy in condensed form:1) Create great app so there's something that's easy to pitch. Keep it secret. Test in small groups.2) Submit to Apple for review. Simultaneously work on the landing page. Once approved, keep it hidden from the public and pitch a secret URL to selected members of the media 7 days prior to launch.This time I released a hopefully cool enough teaser page to get the public excited about the app in advance. The idea is that the page itself provides value, so visitors come back and eventually arrive at the updated landing page once the app is available on the App Store.One thing I tried to avoid was to give away too much details upfront, so the media does get a head-start prior to launch as usual.Though the question is: What do you think? Am I crazy to change my launch strategy after 3

Kernel Log: What's coming in 2.6.30 - File systems: New and revamped file systemsThe patches adopted in Linux 2.6.30 introduce many significant changes affecting data security and Ext3 and Ext4 performance. Support for the EXOFS and NILFS2 file systems is new, as is the cache for the AFS and NFS network file systems. There are also a few fixes for the almost forgotten ReiserFS file system.Released mid-week, as is normal for the second phase of the development cycle, the third pre-release version of Linux 2.6.30 included mostly minor enhancements and fixes, although there were two code restructures.The interminable discussions of the Ext3 and Ext4 file systems and the way they interact with other kernel subsystems have largely subsided. The H Open has reported on the early stages of these discussions – the occasionally abrasive discussion on the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) continued for a further week, with a total of 650 emails, not counting other threads triggered by the discussion.The debate has been far from fruitless and has led to the development of vario
