I wonder if there is a need here for a Luxury AirBnB so that folks who aren't millionaires could spend time in these places that are otherwise going empty. Seems like space could be offered for less than normal rent since anything abov

Having read through most of the site and being on the newsletter, I find the biggest problem with this being a focus on SaaS. Not that it is a bad thing, but when my business is selling Video Novel/Select Your Own Adventure software, it see

Signed up, pointed it to the directory where I keep all my photos, and it seems unable to find the ones from the past year even though all my photos are organized by year. I have about 2 TB of photos (going back to 2000), and I shoot RAW+JP

Not sure, but this looks like Pinterest combined with Blogger. I can see some of the ways you might be able to get the word out more, but also think that you have those same options, with some effort, on the other platforms. Guess I'm still

Not sure I see how this is significantly different than Aviary? Also see no ability to work with RAW files which limits the utility to many photographers. Of course that begs the question of when we can expect to see an HTML5 Lightroom clon

On the off chance anyone actually reads this... :-) He somewhat, and you more so, get to a point that has been bothering me a fair bit recently. How much should I care about meaning in what I do in my spare time. Possibly due to my upbringi

FWIW, but this is what I use MS SkyDrive and DropBox for. Setup your notebook txt or rtf (or odt or whatever) files and get all the same sync. Save a webpage using your browser and get much of the web clipping functionality. Not exactly the

The main benefit I see (though I am amused not to see it mentioned here or on their site) is that a lot of Flash programmers will see it's almost like AS3, and be willing and able to get comfortable with this since they "know" how it works.

I find this interesting because one of the first questions most HR folks ask is what salary range (or hourly rate if consulting) you are expecting. So it's fine if they ask first? I'm afraid I've gotten to the point where I put my salary or

A rather good write-up, though I'm not convinced the author's points justify the "Megabad" in the title. The decisions made are not always the most secure, but in general appear to be reasonable given the nature of the service - i.e. that t
