Spending 10's of thousands a month is getting up there, but "blowing through" more than $4k per month isn't necessarily an extravagant lifestyle. My guess would be that you don't live an as expensive a metro area as the author is basing his

In case anybody knows: - Does this plug-in send any data from the client to their server? - Why does the plug-in require access to my history? - What is the relative possibility that someone could gain access to (a) read existing mail/mail

We were unable to use Wave because it never worked for hosted Google accounts. That sucks.

Thanks! A big feature for existing users is that we also now offer the ability to have different header images on each page. Not something that would be included in the news coverage, but definitely a huge feature request :)

Specialization can definitely be a negative when you apply for a position where your degree doesn't apply. As an employer, if you see someone applying for a "billing specialist" (read: fairly unspecialized) job with a masters or PhD, you in

We're really excited about this one. Most publishing platforms completely ignore the sheer pain of dealing with images -- even simple things like resizing, rotating and cropping. We've actually taken it a step further and built in a really

Quick tip: "I would listen to there questions" should be "I would listen to their questions". Saw the mistake in your blog post several times and thought I'd point it out as nobody has yet and it makes an otherwise good article appear amate

Looks like I'm right: http://www.thesunchronicle.com/articles/2010/07/04/news/7630... AVS checks zip code and/or the number portion of your street address depending on how you interpret the response. CVV2 check obviously works as intended

Why don't you have a very limited free version that lets them kick the tires without paying you anything? Then, put the free version limit at 25 page views per month, or something small. Once it's all set up and running, and customers are v

Welcome to the wild ride of dealing with large corporations. What you encountered here is absolutely standard -- in fact, I'd say it's actually better than what you'd get when dealing with most large companies, since Steve actually replied

Totally agree. It's incredibly easy to criticize a central hub for any downtime whatsoever because the impact is so large and visible. But your criticism is completely baseless if the average downtime on a central hub is less than the avera

ah, yes, and when your mail server goes down for a couple hours? that's a lot of fun. i've managed my own mail servers from ~2000 to 2008, when it practically became a full time job. i use gmail primarily for (1) the spam filter and (2) not

I suppose we can agree to disagree then. Naming a "leader" early on does not mean that leader has to exert any kind of authority early on -- as I think we both agree, decisions should be made by consensus early and often. To say that establ

I disagree with you. It seems there are two simultaneous things happening, and you are unfairly dismissing both. The attitude you're calling out is, as you rightly mention, harmful to a startup. Anybody who refers to themselves as the "CEO"

About once every 6 months for us. To be fair, a major release might require a tad more work than usual once every 2 months (think 1-2 extra hours per day that week). I think the key to making it work is keeping it small. If there were too m
