I feel like most people use this as a stop-gap for doing gzipping content to reduce bandwidth, but hopefully more people relying on nginx/apache to do the compression delivery will reduce the circa-2004 PHP mentality that started the practi

While the blog only links to the Mac client, they do have a DNSCrypt proxy that appears fairly complete and should be a good compliment to any *nix system: http://shared.opendns.com/dnscrypt/packages/dnscrypt-proxy/

My point is that Freshdesk's marketing plan (spam anyone who hints at ZenDesk dissatisifaction) adds credence to the "rip-off" claim.

Correct, it was @cloudgroupsyd (Christian Marth), who promptly apologized and explained what message it was trying to originally say. Though he should've learned from Michael Richards and never said something that stupid in the first place.

As much as I'd like to side with the guy getting picked on (Freshdesk), Zendesk is completely right. Ignoring the interface and naming similarities, you can't complain about ZenDesk on Twitter without multiple Freshdesk spammers bombarding

Is NetSol still "reserving" any domain name that you search on their site ( http://blog.domaintools.com/2008/01/network-solutions-steals... )? I swore I'd never go back there after that practice - and fortunately there are still enough bett

It also happened to mckmama.com (a crazy popular blog my wife follows who couldn't believe that domain hacking was even possible anymore.) The more interesting aspect was that since mobile nameservers are slow to update, the site worked on

Would a job search engine that has a section for just YC startups be worthy of being included in this list? http://www.linkup.com/lists/Y_Combinator_Startups I wrote this a while ago, but nobody ever seemed interested. I haven't seen if a

Being creative applies to both the application process AND the search process. For instance, one of the coolest jobs I've come across this month is for Social Games Quantitative Analyst at PopCap, which sounds significantly cooler once you

When I read the headline but before I read the article, I had the gut "Great, what thing is Google killing now that I'm going to miss" reaction. After reading the article, I can safely say they're making the right decision killing off all t

This is really impressive. I would pay extra if their concept video did not have such attrocious background music... I would like to know why/how they aim to replace PS3/Xbox360/Wii with this remote, at that point it smells a bit like over-

Is CV a common term for "computer vision"? I'm used to CV meaning "curriculum vitae" and it took me ~2 minutes to realize the site had nothing to do with it. /me might be in the recruiting realm too long

Good geographic search is incredibly difficult. Systems could be 100% accurate if each job required an actual physical address (123 Modem Dr, Main St, 55555 for example.) With that, I can give you the lat/lon and do all the great circle geo

Although this story is 90% fabulous news, the most disappointing part is how Google is only using Schema.org when they need to scratch their own itch. In June, I pushed hard for Google to launch a schema to focus on job postings - http://b

I could post a youtube of it working wonderfully if you'd like. It is much like your product - it works great when applied right. I bet you just didn't apply it right... Btw, can you reduce your thread trolling by 40%? You made it on TC, we

The problem with all salary sites (Payscale.com, Salary.com, Glassdoor.com) is the reliability of the data that they're pulling from. They all make such gross exaggerations and generalizations of salaries across locales, industries and titl

For everything from applicant tracking systems to databases, I often think "at least it isn't an Oracle product." Seems like some other company could use this given enough of us already think it. I know this will be down-voted for being a
