We looked into DigitalGlobe a while back. They are the best provider of satellite imagery we could find, but there are a lot of limitations. First, you really cannot get on demand imagery. If you wanted the same picture take every day for m

Upvote, because I didn't know the 'hardes exam in the world' existed, and I now think it's awesome. Good luck.

Ask for the documents in advance. Tell the title agency that if you don't get copies in advance you'll happily sit in the room and read them all at closing. Call them a few times to remind them that your are "Really looking forward to readi

It is clear that something isn't going according to plan. With two startups coming out of the same program at a top school, I'm sure there is enough bad blood, lawyers, friendships, and did I mention lawyers that people don't want to talk.

Found my old password and logged in just to upvote this comment. Any child driven enough to do all this at a young age would have accomplished much more down the road. This is one of those negative sum situations where we all loose.

I was wondering the same thing, but PG must have thought someone needed this.

My mom doesn't get Facebook or Twitter, but she keeps telling me to go to Ravelry to see the pictures she posts of a new scarf. If knitting is your thing, the site is horrible addictive.

I've been reading a lot about the Skype debacle. Reading this article was the first time I felt like the argument got beyond the big guys being greedy.

I turned Cleartype off and that helped. The text shadow trick helped as well. I would have thought that using Chrome would mean that Google's fonts would have displayed correctly, but I guess Cleartype overrides that. I miss the day when t

Judging by the other comments, it's just me, but the fonts look worse now. They aren't smooth at all. Why?

I got my current job because everyone I was competing against was unemployed. Companies treat it like the kiss of death. Friends of mine who have been unemployed fr less than 60 days find work. More that 60 days stay unemployed for months a

I use the 12C emulator and love it. Much cheaper than buying one for $65. Learning RPN changed the way I program, which is crazy because it takes 15 minutes to learn at most.

It looks great, however the first thing I thought of is Scribd. The NYT Dealbook uses them extensively: http://www.scribd.com/DealBook I don't mean "They did it don't bother". It might be that your are making a non-profit Scribd focused o

It would have been nice to seen which startups were surveyed. I don't need to know there answers, but it's great to know who else is trying to make this work.
