Is there a link on the site or an email account where we can leave customer comments/suggestions?

I think next to the button that says "Login/Logout" it might be nice to have a simple welcome message that says "Welcome, <username>" just to reassure users that they are in fact logged in. I didn't realize I was still logged in unt

I tried to save last night and it simply said that I had a wrong username/password combo. The only action available was printing to pdf form. I just tried again and it did allow me to register though. Was something changed or maybe I missed

I just checked out the site and it truly impressive. Everything looks sharp and I like the clean design. Everything is easy to use and I can go in and change the CSS later if I want to. I started filling out some information to get a feel a

Now that you point it out I also consider a "coffee shop" to be like a starbucks or something and might not be as affected by this. Eateries like Panera Bread and Cosi (who offer free wifi) should be more worried about non-paying users taki

I think they also need to worry about the growing popularity of smaller devices like the iPhone and, like you mentioned, netbooks rather than laptops. Someone could sit in the shop for hours and use the wifi to watch a streaming movie on th

most of the company descriptions just sounded boring. I skimmed through most of it and nothing popped out as "oh thats interesting, let me read more about this startup" except for the one about self guided tours. I though that was pretty co

That is an interesting idea to investigate. You could also have location specific advertising by distributing free T-shirts in areas that have you target user. It would be similar to colleges giving out free T-shirts at football games, but

I am skeptical as well after all of this App Store craziness.

This warehouse sounds like a job that is far too tedious for me. I'm glad they get full health insurance and a 40 hour work week though. I can't wait until every title they offer can be streamed to the Xbox360. They have a great selection a

Just goes to show that if you make the extra effort a lot of the time things will tend to work out. This guy was extremely prepared and didn't even need the information that he gathered with an awesome day's worth of coding because the lawy

I simply loved listening to this. It was more like a fascinating conversation with Paul Graham that we got to listen in on than an interview and it was extremely exciting. Thanks for the fascinating insights, essays and interviews Paul.

Conan O Brien is hilarious. This speech is particularly funny because most of what he says is true and people can relate. Good life lessons though. As college graduation speeches go this is one of the best i've heard

It is very scary that these kinds of vulnerabilities still exist in a post 9/11 world. Sure it takes time and money to improve systems, but something as serious and important as airplanes seems like something that should get priority and sp

Just because I pay money and think a transaction is legal doesn't make it so. That is true. However, that is again Amazon's fault because they sold him the book without having the rights to do so. Instead of admitting their mistake and us

This is the feature that I have been waiting for! I can finally manage all of my mail in one place and respond to professors in a professional manner through the school email server and keep my gmail totally behind the scenes. Awesome

I think that the Kindle would be much more successful if it allowed many more formats than just the Amazon approved books (in Topaz format i think). If I could carry around all of my kindle books and a pdf of my homework assignments and fre

The fact that he is suing over his lost homework is almost totally irrelevant. It is just a brilliant way to hold Amazon responsible for their actions. Once a book is purchased he owns the rights to that material and he did not initiate or

This entire situation is just truly unbelievable. I can't fathom how Horizon thinks they could have benefited from suing a tenant over such a ridiculous thing as a twitter post. A good company would have immediately contacted her and solved

A tablet will simply never replace the Kindle and other readers like it such as thins article suggests. One of the most important feature of the Kindle is that it uses E-Ink! It holds a particular screen and only uses charge to change the t

It is really a shame that all of these issues exist around such an amazing piece of technology. I am avoiding creating an app for the iPhone because I flat out don't like the fact that they have the final say in what users can get on their

I think that waiting on a technology to mature is the right way to go in general. One of the challenges I have faced is that since I am just learning about a lot of web tech there is already an enormous amount of mature proven techs out the

I have been using XP for years now (on my tablet for over 3) and it has been reliable. After lots of research and colleague input I decided to actually wait to upgrade my machine entirely so that I could avoid the entire vista fiasco (wasn'
