Wow. Good job BN. The thing looks well designed and fairly solid. -1 on the ATT 3G but you can't have the best of everything.

Wouldn't it make more sense to not autosuggest certain names in the first place in that AJAX drop-down? This kinda feels like they're building a feature to defend against another feature. Perhaps these guys need something else to do?

Would love to hear more about living and working in Chile. Are you chilean? How hard is it to find smart people? Is there a local startup scene? Is all of this government propaganda or is there really a thriving culture of risk-taking and

I've had great luck with http://techinsurance.com - the owner literally called me and walked me through my options, and then told me that I could probably get away with not having a "Fidelity Bond" which was the most expensive piece...
