AlwaysOn contacted us too (Plurchase). We told them to go away.

The best part is that it uses normal AA batteries. I hate the rechargeable mice that come with a specific recharger. When you're low you can't immediately recharge it and there are times when you forget and really need to use the mouse!

where does it say it doesn't support the middle button? It's technically a multi-touch pad on top so it could detect when you want a middle mouse button click. It could technically detect 5 buttons on top of the mouse... Also, back in the

why not make the SSD internal? the bus speeds would still be faster internally...

Great for consumers IMHO. It will force nvidia to make their stuff better.

Why not? The whole surface is multi-touch, so it would seem like one could program the logic to detect 3 fingers on the mouse and the middle one pressing down. I think the cool part about this mouse is the bluetooth. Those of us with agin

but sometimes even the really good authentic places do poorly because of location. I'm not sure how it would apply to internet startups. I have a friend who owns an authentic chinese restaurant in south beach florida. He says he makes mo

They're quite valuable images. I'm going to steal them for my myspace page.

Their home edition is $300, but unlimited requests. Their API version is the equivalent of 5000 total requests over 5 months, or 4000 requests in 1 month ($240 for 3000 overage requests)

The first tax will be striking in the face of virtual goods services like OfferPal. App developers won't feel the tax, but supporting companies would.

I'm all for calacanis for ratting these guys out. They're no different for those spammy cash4gold programs out there. They exist for the sole purpose of fleecing money from people who don't know better.

what about the itouch then?

it seems like the touch system should be able detect where your main 4 fingers are, and then show a rough virtual keyboard in its space with your 8 fingers on the home row automatically. The only thing lacking would be tactile feedback, bu

Yeah, that's why you should come to the casual hacking sessions at the Hacker Dojo. There's less partying here because the hack sessions recur every week. I've done a bit of pairing with random people that show up and want to hack.

If you just want to meet entrepreneurs, I suggest hanging out at the Hacker Dojo ( http://www.hackerdojo.com ) There's a physical job corkboard in the lobby if you're interested in finding cofounders, however getting the information will r

I'm not sure I understand here... plurchase is similar. You have to visit our site to shop on amazon or related store.

once we get our selenium farm going, hopefully not much. it takes about 10-15 minutes to write a script for a specific site. We just need tests that will validate our scripts against each site every day.

Well it doesn't seem to work all the way. I'm not sure what you meant when you said it has "_full_ javascript support" and is "very mature technology". I tried it out with amazon.com and none of the menus seem to be working... Feel free t

It is somewhat man-in-the-middle, but not much different than your browser-side plugins... some browser side plugins load external javascript into your webpages so it wouldn't be significantly different. Wesabe.com (personal finance site

Actually, I was just bored. I meant to take it out but forgot about it... I was trying to get a high score in YSlow ;-). If you look into the CSS, it still references the non-CDN images and Safari is actually somewhat stupid -- it loads b

I downloaded to take a look at the source, they do things that are similar to us actually, and they do have lots of great special case handling that we might use for reference later. One crazy thing that we do that isn't done here is the s

Most reverse proxies do the easy stuff, but all the hard stuff is still on the client side javascript/flash code. It'll probably take you a few hours to hack up one of the existing proxies out there and get "almost" what plurchase has, but

Yeah, we can have all kinds of fun things once we have a few thousand daily users. We could do stuff like: pair you with other camera shoppers if you're interested in cameras specifically, allow you to help other people shop for specific t

We do already. Sadly we need ways for people to find the interface. It's hard when Amazon takes up 90% of the screen, so all of our interface things are not easy to find.

I don't know why it wouldn't work behind a firewall though -- everything goes through port 80. I use it behind a firewall too. Maybe your corporate firewall does more than just firewall packets, does it block sites with questionable conte

dude, what the hell is wrong with you? You can still technically write someone in as a cofounder -- both in terms of equity and pay. Just because you're recruiting them later than the initial founding team doesn't reduce the title. Sayin

Not necessarily. LinkedIn technically had 1 founder: Reid Hoffman. But really he couldn't build LinkedIn solo, after raising a small amount of capital (and using some of his own from paypal) he recruited 4 others to help him and become ad
