What I would do in response is make iOS editions with a few extra 'features', charge ticket master style connivence fees or use some other artificial marketing editioning (consumer vs "enterprise" editions with few differences). Or I'll se

37 signals looks like a library, especially with the study booth style desks at the sides of the windows and the carpet style. The wide hallways add to the public lobby effect. I love the hardwood flooring, the central walls and the meeti

What is doubly ironic is that are income tax load (at least in BC) is identical to california before health insurance costs in california. If you add health insurance it's even more. And in BC tech companies get a lot of tax deductions, e

The top %0.1 card that basically give's tourist visa-free Permanent Residency status in nearly every country in the world? Kind of like clear/nexus cards for immigration? That would be an awesome 'status' badge.
