Someone could start an App Approval business. Applications don't require approval to go on to an app store / market place, but if the developers submitted their code to one AppApproversLtd, those guys could review it for a small comission,

Awesome effort. I'm a bit concerned that the reporter effectively says "to all naysayers, Will says it's true so it must be", and am slightly skeptical as Will hasn't put up information for others to build their own / sourcecode, which I'd

I guess if you have a central SR processor which everyone's connecting with (as per proposed solution for issue 1) then you also have a huge amount of incoming data from all of your users. That means your system can evolve by taking feedba

One thing that always surprises me is how many times companies reinvent the wheel and the need for it. In your post you mention an expenses system; something pretty much every company will have to implement. Since HMRC require this inform

Nice trick; though it's a once in a cache-time event.

If a few Asians don't tick Asian as their ethnicity when asked, that's going to reduce the stats for the number of Asians attending the university, effectively creating a negative feedback loop.

Interestingly I added Starbucks to my employment history (I was a part time barista whilst at university) and subsequently went down two points for it :S I guess the moral is only put down relevant experience to your domain. . .

I'm in some kind of middle ground here. I generally fall into the same category as Gabriel (the blog author), but try to compensate by using words like awesome and cool to the extent that I have polite tourettes. I buy a coffee and when

Instead of putting "samanthastage dot com", put http://www.samanthastage.com/ . This should improve your page rank, and makes the link stand out / easier to use, so people are more likely to visit, generating more traffic for her site.

When choosing to work with anyone you should look for skills which complement your own / your current teams. Generally when looking to recruit a designer, it would be their design skills your after; not their legal advice or ability to wri

Nice demo - I like it. I had the same comment - adding a key with this info would be really useful (especially if you could also use it as a filter). It would also be great if you could draw a line across the graph (optionally applying a cu

If you go with the deposit only card option, you could adjust your feed to display the aggregate of the two cards; but you're effectively capping an individual transaction to $20. The donor therefore sees their changes reflected in real ti

I read in a recent Wired UK article that some banks have opted to pay a sum of money to a charity of their employee's choice, rather than paying the employee a full bonus - the idea being they've found this to be a better motivator for empl

Good shout - and Starbucks know good press so they're likely to keep it open when they see how much attention this project's getting. It seems strange that they don't just give you the free ones direct to your card - I guess it's down to th

You should always endeavour to make your code easy to read. Since most people aren't aware semi colons are optional, omitting them can cause unexpected behaviour in certain cases, and having them there does no harm, it's surely best to sti
