So what about the fact that me.ga hasn't actually done anything illegal ..yet.. It appears that this whole issue has blown up into an absolutely ugly power game. Everyone's bullying everyone and it goes to show that international law, natio

As far as rdio is concerned, there is no requirement for a proxy server. They actually allow "US users" to travel abroad and listen to rdio. So, what you need to do is get through registration somehow. That works pretty well if you: a. Have

Hey! Thanks so much for your response! I didn't know about the local company + director option. That sounds like a good path to head down. I did read somewhere about the $100,000 per year or maybe per two years + hiring minimum 2 singapore

Yes, but it's way more worth it with a strong already existing startup ecosystem. It's not going to be fun if you drop a ton of cash on a startup in Singapore and then the government decides to kick you out because you didn't meet their spe

Singapore is a pretty great place. That said, the place is freakishly expensive. I recently looked at Singapore as an option to move there and start up a.. startup. The entrepass will require $50,000 of paid up capital plus yadda yadda. Tha

I think this is just the start. They've figured out their stuff, got their product in good shape, got some paying customers. Obviously from here on, iterative improvement is a must but they'll probably be able to scale their marketing and h

Manipulated ? He just said in other words - "Hey follow me on twitter if you want to stay updated". Is that manipulation according to you ? I actually looked for the twitter button on his site so that I could follow him - since I did enjoy

I'm really impressed that he asked for an affidavit from the head of apple. That would've really put apple in deep trouble had they gone that route. Good job on calling their bluff on the 'it will take us 14 days to update the site'. =/ App

Yeah I got confused by the article because it mentioned something about the tweets being about P Chidambaram. Other such tweets reportedly made references to Mr. P. Chidambaram. The fact that the tweet is about an even more low profile gu

Google is gamed like crazy. Especially by sites like Tripadvisor, Skyscanner, etc. Whenever I make a search for something like 'flights from la paz to new york' - all I get is some landing pages. Tripadvisors gaming is even worse. When I se

Appears that he has 188590 rows. It definitely sounds like a configuration issue. Maybe the mysql table cache might be bogged down or the query cache is full or malfunctioning. Could be a lot of things. Sorting that into a temp table, and c

Googlebot also does some other crazy stuff. Like looking at url patterns and then trying out variations.. they're almost trying to sniff URLs! For example if I have a page: www.domain.com/xyz/123 Googlebot (without any links to other pages,

The most important thing I got out of this article isn't the productivity 'hack' but the fact that there's a program called RescueTime that lets you find out exactly how much time you spent on your computer doing what.. o_O I didn't know ab

Interesting. I ran a flightfox contest a few months ago and did get some responses. It was a complex route from Bolivia to India. Add to that my visa complications and it made for plenty of fun. The experts however were quite understanding

Yup, definitely worth it! Imagine almost 5 million people essentially watching an almost 3 hour long (very interesting and groundbreaking!) Red Bull commercial around the world. I think if we did the math at base advertising/marketing rates

This is extremely interesting. I think the main people to benefit from this would be self-deployment kind of people or freelance developers. Mostly freelance devs I believe. For my stuff, I'd definitely use this - but my first order of busi

I find this interesting as well as unimportant at the same time. Interesting because it shows that Google has responded to increasing connection speeds by adding bells and whistles to their homepage. That's really great. Unimportant because

Agreed. The eye tracking required to move from thumbnails placed in different regions to the center of the screen is a bit too much work. Enlarging the image right where it is might work better. Just a hunch though.

I didn't really publicly 'reduce' anyone to anything. Kinda like what you did here. But hey okay then. For the record, I addressed a throwaway account and didn't name any names.

I find it interesting that you used a throwaway even though you didn't mention anything that could be construed as offensive. I guess you're a direct competitor to optimizely and I know of only one other direct competitor lurking these foru

Google has been testing a 'hosted' version of mod_pagespeed over the last few months. It's currently invite only but what you do is you add a CNAME record to your domain and point it to google's caching servers. So then what happens is that

This looks pretty cool. For what it's worth - I did give Google's Pagespeed service a shot a month or so ago and ran from it like the wind. It's just that web pages seem to be extremely complex beasts and it's really hard to find a one-size
