Perhaps somewhat off-topic, but your branding seems inconsistent. Do you want to call it "Kickertape.com", "Kickertape." or "Kickertape"?

Please do this the right way. Any issue concerning IP and claims of infringement or violation of rights requires due diligence on both sides. At a very minimum, you should read the transcript of Andrew Tridgell's talk on patent defense at

This is a myth. Lightroom and Aperture do not replace Photoshop. They are tools for a different job -- photography workflow management. Photoshop is a significantly different beast and the capital of expertise, tools and extensions gathered

You sound like you have a good idea of what went wrong. But surely you got a lot of things right too. What were they? It would sound like your mistakes point to a lack of research. It sounds like your co-founder isn't a friend, so you didn'

This is awesome! A simple idea, wonderfully executed. Couple of features I'd like to see: * An RSS/Atom/whatever feed of the articles, so they show up in my feed reader/Calibre * The exact same thing in reverse; Often, I'd just like to boil

Not really. It would look extremely awkward to announce a new port standard and then announce a brand new device that does not have that port, nor comes with a dongle to convert. No ball dropped here.

I've been using Zite recently on my new iPad and I must say I love it! I've easily spent more time on Zite than on any other app since i've bought my iPad. Great work and congratulations!

It rendered somewhat incorrectly for me, but it was smooth and didn't crash. I'm on Safari on iPad 2 iOS 4.3.

Wow! I've always been looking for something of this sort but I've never found one. Thanks for the link!

I'm not entirely sure the comparison is valid. Music tends to have a greater cultural influence than video games. Not to mention having real-life idols that proscribe to the 'gangsta' way of life. In fact, I think its people rather than the

Ah yes, I don't think it has any CRM stuff at all. Thanks!

I'm surprised no one's mentioned MediaWiki. Does it have some obvious problems I'm overlooking?

As much as I agree with you on your observations of Indian bureaucracy, I think this case is slightly different. The RBI wants to treat PayPal like a bank and subject it to the same regulations as other banks (whether those regulations are

"High-speed rail and solar shingles? If that's the president's idea of meeting our Sputnik moment, then Houston, we have a problem." Really? Why is that a problem? Also, there was more to the speech than these two items. The author of the a

His post wasn't Twitter specific; he just used Twitter as an example. But since you asked, here's a couple I can think of: * A rate limit on the number of Tweets per hour/day/week * Ability to follow or unfollow * Ability to index my tweets

This is a crucial step for safeguarding privacy/security if OAuth is to become more prevalent. Any app may request any number of permissions from me; but I as a user should be able to choose what permissions it gets. I would take this one s

It could well be that they have a 'service provider' for bulk email that requires a list of email addresses and content to be handed over in advance. I can't imagine what effects it would have on user privacy though. Or perhaps the text was

Some furniture and houses are still made of wood. I was referring to massive skyscrapers made with steel skeletons. In much of the world (where wood is expensive or hard to find), reinforced concrete (with steel) is a popular choice instead

He was pretty much on the dot about steel houses and electric trains and flying machines. Fairly accurate about the 'small library in a single volume' but grossly off the mark with: 'Before long it will be an easy matter to convert a truck

Well called. I think this exercise is going to be vital to prove to the shareholders that Apple will be different without Jobs, but be just fine.

I apologize if my question came off as presumptuous and/or snarky. My question was genuine. I assumed from the up-votes that my question's underlying basis was indeed correct. Clearly, taking a photograph of an art work does not automatical

I can agree with that. But you've made two implicit assumptions here: 1. The disease is diagnosed and identified as 'common' 2. There are no other complications because of say alcohol abuse, or a genetic condition with kidneys and so forth

Unfortunately, medicine today isn't deterministic. A lot of decisions are made with 'instinct' -- a fancy word for intangible experience. Human error is always going to be an issue. What might prevent human error in the design of said autom

Given how rarely I'm in a hotel (probably twice a year and only on holidays, upper bound), I have no problem paying a little (or twice) extra to talk to a real human being. For instance, I'd like to be able to converse about the hotel, good
