Frustrating, isn't it? I'd have loved to give it a shot, to see how it compares to Dropbox.

I'm quite surprised TechCrunch didn't mention Exec's similarity to TaskRabbit.

Watching a taco make its way towards me in real-time as the UAV battles the wind and rain would be fabulous.

I'm shocked that Mashable is perceived to be 8x the value TechCrunch was, when it was acquired by AOL. Either TechCrunch was low-balled, or Mashable's value is over-inflated. I suspect the latter...

Nice UI but it would be great to have a "compact" setting (as in gmail). The text size is too big.

As far as CDNs go, I think CloudFlare has been fantastic. Trivial to use, as well.

The only way to know for sure is to actually do it. Go for it.

The sole reason I stick to Firefox as my primary browser (despite Chrome appearing to hog less memory) is because of the TabMixPlus extension (which allows multiple layers of tabs). I frequently have >10 tabs - and at times, 25+ tabs

I've noticed a trend in posts like this. Some startups go out of their way to appear "cool". If you need silly phrases like "getting crunk" when you're looking to recruit someone...that's a red flag to me.

I actually find the accent slightly difficult to follow at certain parts. Perhaps the OP should look into having a professional dub over the videos.

We're firmly in the stage in which patents stifle innovation, instead of promoting it. The industry has been headed down the wrong path, and unless patent law sees some drastic reform, frivolous and ridiculous patents such as this will on

hotornot lets users rate others based on their attractiveness. judg.me lets users judge others, not on how attractive they look, but on their perceived social and intellectual capacities.
