As silly as it sounds, dubstep and other fast-paced, energetic music. I find my pace of coding often matches my internal energy so that I start to slow down and get less done when listening to relaxing, meditative music.

Sadly this sounds like business as usual for small companies who sell accessories or add-ons for larger products. I imagine if the execs in charge of "encouraging" M-Edge to play along hadn't been so heavy handed then we would have never ev

Microsoft's excuse ultimately did check out. That's still irrelevant with respect to my original point: it was a PR loss for them both because it revealed the ugly mudslinging sides of both companies and detracted from their images.

I think NameCheap might lose out on this PR exchange. GoDaddy's excuse checks out and NameCheap lowered themselves to their level with the accusation they posted. This is very reminiscent of the slapfight that the Bing team had with Google

Wow, what a disturbing story, and a perfect glimpse into a post-SOPA internet. Why GoDaddy is even policing the content of its registrants is beyond me.

Good points Rob, and I can see what you mean about breaking the mold in an industry where blogging isn't common. My comment on the blog posts appearing unprofessional just meant that I can't take a casual, conversational approach to bloggin

Blogging has its place in a lot of startups but is hard to justify for ours. We're selling a purely commercial product to technologically unsavvy clients who expect a professional public face. It's a triple whammy. Very few of them follow b

Some definitive, unbiased proof of this needs to be seen before I can join the lynch mob. I have no doubt that GoDaddy is desperate and/or inept enough to do something like this but I also can't take their competitor's word for it.

I totally agree that the sales process was bad. My post was responding to politician's insinuation that because they couldn't afford to buy the data they had no right to complain about the embarrassing salesmanship.

What does the inability to pay for the data have to do with their take on the sales team? Their experience with the sales team is invalid because they can't afford to pay for the data?

The article has a very ingratiating tone towards Google. The summarized version is: Google started charging for Maps usage, their sales team sucks and their pricing is too high. All of that could have been said without the unctuous praise o

My thoughts exactly. Paradoxically, being closer to the issue and company actually clouds your perception instead of enhancing it.

A few things I noticed after a brief look: Your blog still has the starter Wordpress post in it. I understand if it isn't finished yet, but you should remove the link to it until it is. It wasn't immediately apparent to me that this site's

Not to my knowledge. Chrome Apps and the Chromebook will be yet another quietly abandoned Google pet project that will burn any developers naive enough to hitch their cart to that horse.

This is a perfect example of the Free Software movement's lack of teeth. Even if they do manage to get the money together to sue HTC, the company will have no problem demonstrating the type of bureaucratic structure that would make source c

MySQL's own licensing page states that a license is needed for software that has MySQL distributed as a part of it. Even if they DID need a license you are out of line to suggest they are automatically infringing and didn't just purchase th
