Anything that purports to restrict your future choice of work or development field is a no-no in my opinion. We never ever sign NDAs - and (so far) have always got to the meeting. Usually you just have to point out the dafter (or most unrea

The title for the piece was "I don't hate Macs, but they do give me a syncing feeling" when I read it this morning. Can we please avoid editorialising post titles?

At least the quote you got is more honest than many. I tried one once that quoted a reasonable fee but once they got their hands on the drive it appeared that (despite the telephone conversation lies) the initial fee was for an evaluation o
