I don't know about you, but it changed mine. Google is basically my first destination when I have a question on anything -- whether it's looking for a restaurant, or solution to a bug I can't fix. I can't imagine my life without Google any

Thank goodness they fixed the dropped call problem, I was seriously considering to return the phone because my calls got dropped so much. And I would love it if they could somehow amplify the speakerphone functionality too... it's got to be

We just moved our startup to the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago :) My partner and I found a temporary place in Mountain View for the next few weeks while we look for a more permanent place -- but everyone has recommended us to either live

Sorry, we have not included a tour of the site yet... we were rushing to get the product out the door (we are big fans of release early, release often), so we haven't had the chance to. We do have a "screencast" that hopefully answers some

I am very new to URL rewriting myself, so I have a pretty dumb question. How does mod rewrite affect GET operations in PHP? If you rewrite the URL: http://www.example.com?id=1 to http://www.example.com/1/ And your code uses GET to gra

Hum, we haven't done so explicitly yet... but since we just launched, and our email traffic isn't that high, I don't think the chances of 2 random people typing in the same bogus email address. I have the list of all bounces Emails and I w

In my experience, setting up a SPF record will basically solve the problem for Hotmail and Gmail. However, I have heard Gmail uses a reputation-based system, so basically you are innocent until proven guilty... so make sure your users actua
