You guys should look into restaurant POS. The existing systems are horrible and usually require a team to come in and set them up and cost a fortune. Oh and just a quick comment.. I would spell out Point of Sale and not use the acronym. It

It's not working for me either but just from your description my first question was "why would I want to do statistics on the web"? I'll tell you what would be great is a simple (desktop) stats package that isn't a scripting language (e.g.

I think people's tolerance of bugs and missing feature's has dropped to an all time low. It's not 1997 anymore. This "ship early, ship often" tactic may have worked at one point but expectations have changed. Especially if you are selling i

Agreed. I'm often shocked how obsessed everyone is with "getting user feedback so you can iterate". In my experience, users have no idea what they want and the ones that do are usually just trying to get you to implement their pet piece of

Can we please stop giving out this bullshit piece of advice? People expect polished applications that are better than what they already have. If you're not proud of your product wait until you are to release it. Believe me, it will make sta

Why would HTC and Motorola follow the Nexus? What's in it for them? As far as they were concerned the whole point of Android was that there was no reference implementation. If the start looking to the Nexus as a reference implementation

I wouldn't count on this from Google. The release of the Nexus shows they have a very muddled strategy as far as Android goes. It looks like they thought they could pull off some of Microsofts' old tricks but Android is open source and they

Imagine if Microsoft had released a "Microsoft PC"? Why would anyone buy anything else? If you're a Android licensee now you're forced to differentiate whether you want to or not because you have to compete against the favored Nexus. The An

Google was stupid to release the Nexus One. They created a fragmented developer environment, stabbed Android licensees in the back and terrified carriers all in fell swoop. They're going to have to work very hard to get the industry to tr

I think the problem in NYC is primarily cultural -- a lot of MIT talent is hardcore eng Maybe the fact that all their engineers went to same school is scaring people off. Imagine going to a "lesser" school and having to work with that gro

wrt to you last "confused person" question. Has there been any study of how accurately climate models can predict climate (e.g. average global temperature) even five years out from a given year? Just to clarify... If I gave a climate model

Right and if it were unusually warm out he would be going on MSNBC to talk about how it's proof of global warming.
