   I used to think that Apple didn't have a good reason to enter the netbook space, but now I'm thinking otherwise when I read stuff like this. It's not so much that Apple needs to be competing in the low end (they don't), but that if there's

   I work for a defense contractor, so I have some experience here. There are at least two obstacles to making good looking software/sites paid for by the government: 1. Nobody wants to pay for "Looks pretty." You have a list of requirements

   I highly recommend bicycling, even when it's hot and humid and hilly. I do it, and it's an awesome start and end to the day. Also, for that distance I'd bet your commute would be negligibly longer--for me it's about 10 minutes difference

    Another two sources: DJ Bolivia has programming-inspired mixes at http://www.djbolivia.ca/bolivia.html And, I can't recommend the Podrunner podcast enough. If you can, throw a few bucks his way as it's almost entirely listener supported.

    Lots, but for I'd go for Patrick McKenzie for someone I could realistically emulate. Because 1) He hasn't achieved the oh-my-god millions and millions kind of success, but something more realistic and reachable, 2) He's constantly trying t

    Oddly enough, given the post subject, I knew who you were immediately after reading a comment of yours about a week ago (and it had nothing to do about bingo, though it may have been entrepreneurial). I read it and immediately though it so
