Incredibly impressed. I'm at work, and it's working superbly, with no noticeable lag or stuttering. I... I should stop. Great work!

I started ignoring most of those "my workplace is so great!" posts after having had a few startups under my belt. It typically is a giant clusterfuck, but if you believe in the business, enjoy your responsibilities, and can handle

Invested in growth, low but potentially growing average revenue per customer, and decreasing sales efficiency. I'm really not sure what to make of it, or if I've even pulled out the important points. Would love to hear some opinio

I think they had a drug testing booth in Barcelona when I was there last summer for Sónar, and there was a massive line up of people. Not sure what Spain's outlook on drug use is, but it was rather refreshing to see that level of educa

I'd count us as a relatively small advertiser, but it works perfectly well for us. Since I've taken over our accounts, I've made quite an impact in terms of traffic and conversions, and we don't spend that much compared

I hope you got a refund? We spend quite a bit of money on AdWords every day, and I started managing the account a few weeks ago (hand-off from an agency) and it's been a fantastic challenge to brush up on that part of my skill-set agai

The part that caught my eye is that Ze Frank is working there, and is leading the Motion Pictures division. That's... incredible. I'm looking forward to what they produce, video-wise, simply because Ze Frank is there to shepherd t

I don't think I even work with very large Excel sheets, but our massive master sheet of 1mil+ rows (with about 15 columns) regularly causes Excel to sputter and die. I'd rather not use it, but anything to make it work better would

What would differentiate 11main (or any other Alibaba property) from offerings in the US? Amazon probably has quite a few people locked in with Prime and their Kindle devices (I know I wouldn't switch e-book providers) so I wonder what

Not sure that was really an exit story, but this seems just like a way to get more links to that "Instabuck" company that they're working on now. MonitorSEO seems kind of fishy too.

Forgive my ignorance, but would something like this be decent for slinging around video/media files? Been investigating storage VPS solutions for doing so, but I wonder if this would be a more elegant solution.

They've definitely been baking advertisements into movies and television shows for years now. My ideal pragmatic solution would be a platform (or two, or five) that acts like a dumb pipe for content providers to license their content t

Out of curiosity, when does it effectively become "big data"? I ask not to be snarky, but it might be the case that it's "big data" to someone else, but not necessarily to you. I figured it was a relative term for y

Perhaps this is anecdotal, but the launch of the HERO3 Black was personally very anticipated. It was shipped to my house a few days after launch, as I had pre-ordered, but the camera just does not last beyond half an hour when recording 720

Genuinely curious, what's so ghastly about an interstitial upon becoming active, and a retry button? It's a free game, I think people expect ads by now. Maybe not every time the game starts up (or having a daily limit) but that&#x

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the books aim to teach kids to approach problems using programming logic, like loops and if else statements, rather than actually getting them up and running on Ruby. But this is just what I re

I can echo your concerns because I ran into it with Spelunky recently - they seem to only support Xbox360 controllers as their "controller" settings. I solved it by using Joy2Key to map keys to my controller (a very solid Logitech
