Give us all your personal information so we can consider you for citizenship, and steal your identity. Best phishing scam ever!

Beware of letting your excitement about your idea work against you. Your marketing effort should start BEFORE the product gets built. If you start with the product, you run the risk of building something that almost nobody needs. It's

Ignore your co-workers. Don't wait. Just get started. Waiting kills startups. Put up a landing page, build 1.0, start figuring out if anyone would really buy your product/service. If you can't get anyone to bite, maybe the id

Sounds good, but they damned well better apply the same rules to individuals who use offshore tax shelters too. How unpatriotic is that? Deserters!

Teenagers? Really? They need to be dead if they're eating magnets. Mandatory recall? No way. If you have small kids (or stupid teenagers), don't buy the damned things! How hard is that? Why should the vendor be punished? What&#x27

He who dies with the most cash wins? It's definitely a nice position to be in but money obviously doesn't think up new products. What was the last true innovation from Apple? I claim it was the iPod. The miniaturization of music.

Apple has never cared about backward compatibility. They kill off libraries and APIs like unwanted kittens. Yes, it makes everyone sad when they do it, but the API still goes into the burlap bag and then into the pond. They continue to brea

I know, I'll create another programming language. Now you have N+1 problems, none of which address the systemic problems with the Apple ecosystem. The problem was never JUST Objective-C (although it sucks pretty hard). Apple is REALLY

They used to have an "Account Executive" program where you could talk to a reviewer BEFORE you started work to explain what you were doing and get tips on what was eligible and what was not. I did that when I started and it was an

If you are an owner in the company you only can claim a maximum of 75% of your salary. So if 100% of your time was eligible work and you made $100K you could only claim $75K of that and you'd get a percentage of that $75K back, not the

As someone who has actually used the SR&ED program for many years, I have to say that you've got it a bit wrong... SR&ED will cover a percentage of capital expenditures essential to the work and a percentage of $ paid to contra

I'm not saying they should pay no tax but my guidelines still apply. Keep taxes reasonable. Don't be dicks about it. France is being a dick. They made their own tax laws. If what companies do is legal under their tax law you can&#

Aggressively taxing corporate revenue is a massively stupid idea for any country to pursue. Google doesn't HAVE to have offices in France, but they do. They employ thousands of people who all pay income tax, and a lot of it. Having a c

How about this... go and spend a few hundred hours to acquire a skill you may never use again. It has to be one with which you have had no previous exposure or proficiency. It sounds a bit stupid when it's put that way doesn't it?

Lotus Notes was an awful way to do anything. It allowed people with little to no programming skill to destroy the IT capabilities of small business and non-profits. If that had been backed by anyone except Lotus it would have died on the dr
