Someone with access to your phone can also access your emails, text messages, contacts, photos and more... I guess to some people location data is more sensitive than those things, but not to me.

Yes, you could have them vote and then give them the opportunity to sign up. Store a cookie or something so they can only get one vote as an unregistered user. Of course, this could be hacked, but you could put in provisions to check for mu

I agree. Let non-users vote, but make people sign in to add comments or post their own predictions. You can include some kind of measures to make sure someone doesn't vote more than once or twice.

Well, it probably wasn't apparent to many (or any) thieves either, but it is now. Anyway, of course I'd agree it's worth fixing on Apple's part. In the meantime... hold onto your phones, I guess?

The simple solution is select encrypt backups in your iTunes options. If my computer or phone got stolen, I'd have more important things to worry about than whether the thief can find a list of locations I've been. It's fun/interesting to s

You're getting 3k-15k visits/month currently? I would encourage you not to kill it off. The design could use some revision, but if you have the users, keep them. Any idea how many of your users come back on a regular basis (weekly/monthly)?

No matter how nice the landing page, there is probably a sizable number of people who will just close it without either 1) an interactive demo page showing an example user's tweets, or 2) a video demo. Video demos are pretty easy to make wi

FWIW, no "astroturfing" from me. I got the e-mail that they launched and submitted the URL, because I've been looking forward to taking a look at it (didn't get a beta invite). Haven't used it much yet, but I like the concept, and to me the

You don't have to reduce the feature set by a lot, but you can at least put the technical features under an 'advanced' section or something so non-technical users are not intimidated.. or you can take them off completely. Facebook integrati

Well, you are competing with a behemoth with Zondervan publishing and The City ( http://www.onthecity.org ), and your pricing seems to be only marginally better (for hosting.. I just now noticed the part at the bottom about being able to ho

Well, you've "been asked" to do it.. employment is always "at will" ;). Assuming you are an exempt worker (non-hourly), they obviously don't have to pay you for overtime, but you do have to be off a "full week" for a furlough week to count.

Zappos would drive me crazy. I have been in an environment like that. It's "cute" at first, but then you realize you're just living in a messy corporate cubicle. It really inhibits work if your job is something such as development or design

I think they tend to pride themselves on their service (which is pretty good I guess.. the tech people you talk to at least seem to know what they're talking about), and they emphasize their scalability. I'm not sure if those things justify

The acronyms are how Media Temple refers to their different hosting packages. A look at their website reveals (gs) = grid service, (dv) = dedicated virtual. Personally, I have worked on one site that was hosted on a (dv) server with Media T

I can see where it would help a ton to have that link up there. Very interesting write up! Loren, just out of curiosity, would you be able to say how much you promised him for posting the link and removing the other T-Shirt links? ...or if
