What an outrageous thing to say! This guy stole the iPad. Period. Seriously. If someone leaves their car running on the street that's a stupid thing to do, but does it give anyone permission to steal it? "Oh look ... I 'found' this car."

Well, here's an "Option 1" for you then ... "Pythias Brown, a former TSA officer at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey who admits he stole more than $800,000 worth of items from luggage and security checkpoints over a four-y

Work your real life connections Came here to say this. Go ahead and post on the freelancing websites if you want — but separate yourself from the outsourcing companies. Do not lower your rates to compete against them. If a potential cli

Good point ... most poker players and entrepreneurs all have a little 'crazy' in them I think :)

If you commit yourself to playing poker 40+ hours a week, to improve your skills, get to a point where you are making $40-60 an hour, and do that as a full time job for a few years you can make money. What happens on a downswing? If you run

Awesome... Go for it! A wife and son are pretty good inspiration to get it in gear! :) Be sure to post your project here once you launch.

Completely agree. Number ONE is learn to play poker? Seriously? With all of the things that you could learn that could make you money, the first one is not poker. Not even close. I love poker. I'm fairly good at it. I've even had a couple o

Why not start a project part-time at night while you still have a job? With out a few months savings you could find yourself without a viable product and with zero money pretty shortly. Best of luck to you either way!

Agree ... normally the V2 API comes out with major revisions, such that it would not work with someone that coded up an app based on the V1 API. Using /v1/ and /v2/ allows customers to transition over some set amount of time. There is some

With 400GB of data I'd imagine you are going to be ripping your hair out at some point or another regardless of what database you use ... there is no way to completely avoid tech issues over the lifetime of a product/service.

Good pricing change ... I was hesitant to try this out because I already have an S3 upload option and the old pricing plan had S3 upload only on the $50/month plan. With the free plan I can try things out without having to start paying righ

Can't upvote this enough ... Blogs and "news" sites are publishing headlines that are more and more abrasive and controversial in hopes of getting clicks. It's apparently working.

$5 a month would be totally worth it for a lot of people. Even with promoted tweets, etc., I think people would go for it. Charge, but let people do whatever they want with their own data ... give them access to their full history of their

Good point. Of course, just because he was dickish in the business world doesn't mean that he was that way towards his kids, but he certainly might have been. After reading his biography I thought the same thing as the author ... all of tha

Totally agree ... great post along those same lines here: http://joethepeacock.blogspot.com/2012/09/9112012.html "I think that many (too many) people feel that, if you don't stop and make a public display of paying tribute, you don't care

Really, really slick! Nice job. Great move having an example design ready-to-go so that new users can play around with it. Very easy to use!

With the number of government-backed education loans that are defaulted on, you could also say the risk lies with the taxpayers.

I wouldn't change it because then you will have people that liked the original font/colors ... make a couple of "themes" that people can choose from in the settings and then everyone will be happy!

"The web page could be much more reader friendly (and less about you)." I thought the same thing -- and moving the features and demo above "The Mission" is a great first step. People generally don't care why you are doing something -- the

To me the real value is that for a very fair price I no longer have to be concerned with the ins and outs of sending email. Once you start sending tens of thousands of emails you run into problems. People don't receive the emails. They get

True, except that some people decide that for the games they want to see they will just head down to the local sports bar. Your true sports fanatics aren't going to give up cable/sat anytime soon, but people that mostly watch regular shows

Oh weird ... I see what you are talking about now. The num=100 does nothing to change the number of search results apparently, you have to change it in the settings. With it at 100 results the first 19 are for coolibar.com and the next 8 fo
