I failed big last year with an iPhone app. I'm at it again this year with a web app - trying not to make the same mistakes I made the first time around. The jury's still out on the 2nd round but I am releasing in a few weeks time so I'll kn

It does allow them to be placed in several groups. I will think about the naming. Thanks.

I considered that but it's not so hard to signup for a gmail account.. and once signed up she wouldn't have to ever login.. It is required for signup though.

Soundtracks - Hans Zimmer, Philip Glass, Howard Shore, James Horner etc.. I tend to find them motivational for things like coding.. especially when I'm coding for my own startup.

To the founders: Congrats and thanks for sharing your reflections with us. Is there a Rapportive API in the works? I would love to integrate Rapportive into some apps I'm currently working on instead of plugging into the Gmail sidebar.

Shouldn't a virtual assistant by definition be virtual, i.e. a bot or piece of software that has some AI baked in? I rather like the idea of "virtual" assistants but you're talking about outsourcing to cheap offshore labor. Why can't softwa

Been playing with it.. I'd call this a very marginal improvement at best. Looks like there's still plenty of space left for companies like Etacts and Rapportive to play with.

Because it's more fun to make the web do things it was never intended for and it's still the closest thing we have to a universal write once platform.

Wonder if drinking green tea helps to bring you back to 'normal'.. Who knows what to make of this.. It's not easy hearing that the profession you've chosen puts you at greater risk for heart disease. If this is true I bet it could be balanc

I've used Highrise and Salesforce.. SF was too expensive and pandered to fortune 500 companies with large budgets and long lists of feature requests. Highrise was a huge improvement but still fell short in terms of email integration and so

Loved 1 and 7. You can copy a product's feature set but you can't copy its soul which are a combination of vision and team dynamic IMHO.

No it's mobile Safari's fault. You're right about hover/drags but it does have odd rendering issues. It also has abysmal javascript performance compared to its desktop counterpart.

The way I use it: 1. A makeshift Apple TV with video hookups 2. As a radio running Pandora (speakers are great) 3. GPS - the best GPS I've ever used (GPS Drive Motion X) 4. All the standard web browsing/emailing/IM'ing.. Areas still lacking

With all the time you spend looking for and putting a template in place you could be looking for a decent and affordable designer. Cutting up the design into HTML/CSS usually cost between $150-$300 depending on what you need done. If you go

I didn't find it annoying or awkward at all. I actually thought it was funny. If I was playing with one for the first time I'd probably do the same thing. What's the point of building this tech if you can't have some fun with it? You could

You want to get what's called a Nerve Conduction/EMG Test to determine whether it's actually Carpal Tunnel or not. There are other neuropathies that can look like Carpal Tunnel like onset peripheral neuropathy, an entirely different conditi

It's about time they started innovating in this sector. The banking industry as of late seems like nothing but fraud and arcane outmoded banking policies (i.e. Why the hell do banks still close on Sundays???) I hope WePay branches out into

Couldn't agree more. It's the details of the idea resulting from execution that make all the difference. That part of it should be in stealth.

Here's my 2 cents: The idea is the execution. An new idea is worthless. It's the refined ideas you arrive at after you've executed a prototype that are worth something. It's because those ideas can be tested and played with and refined. You
