Yes, I did. I typed in "Mjoahlid 8, Reykjavik, Iceland", which works fine in google maps (I saw you were using google maps). when I type that into your box it gets converted into "Capital Region, Iceland". Which is not very accurate :)

I have never heard of this service before but it looks pretty sweet. $5 for unlimited backup storage? How on earth? This is what they say about it on their website: "How Can You Backup Everything Online For Just $5 per Month? We have develo

I'm not pg but I don't really understand this website. What does it do? I signed in and saw a map of my location. Tried to change my location, but no luck. The name sounds like it's a list of something that's currently hot/cool or something

Don't know about UK, but in Iceland it's generally 22.5 days as well as a minimum, but with each year you work for an employer it increases. But it also depends on which union you're a part of etc.

You would also have to measure and account for over how much time the free users convert to paid users. If it happens over two years, you have to take that into account. As the gigaom article mentions: The thing is, over time inactive use

I would argue that in order for a free account to work you will have to meet the following criteria: - The free account is only useful while you're starting to use it - so a real constraint has to be in place for you to want to upgrade. - Y

I'm sorry for sounding a bit like a troll, but the number of votes this article is getting is surprising. Let me elaborate: -- All newspapers look the same to me. I don't have designer chops to explain it clearly, but the main style is: A w

It's the perfect thing to do while you're watching videos or listening to podcasts. I can't really watch anything or listen to a podcast at the same time that I'm coding. But there is still stuff I really want to watch. This week in startup

I agree whole heartedly on the javascript plugin side. On most of my projects in the last years, javascript seems to be the thing that gets bloated the fastest. When you need something you can always find a 3rd party jquery plugin that does

This actually seems like a usable concept. Too often similar software tries to magically predict stuff in a not-so-transparent way. Your decision to focus on links is, I believe, right on. Because you're not trying to replace my twitter str

I would love to know the A/B difference between having the ugliest logo man can make (or simply no logo) and your currently best one (your original logo). That could give you a scale of how much a logo can possibly affect your conversion

I'd also love to know. It seems stealth is out of fashion, but that being said, there are a few of them out there doing stealth. I guess since we don't know about them, it probably means they're being really successful in their strategy :)&

That sounds like an awesome thing. Did you maintain it using an excel document or did you have some sort of other tool to manage that?

The arguments that college students all use their mouse's trackpad is not because they prefer it over the mouse, but because they don't either have a mouse (don't think of buying one) and/or they do not want to be bothered taking it with th

If sometimes thought about the e-mail problem. I'd like to make an app that let's you do the following: 1) You sign up for an account. 2) You feed the app your e-mail address, username, passowrd, hostname. Multiple e-mail addresses if you h
