I scan in all my documents as PDFs. The text, including tables, gets scanned in as text. I can copy from the document and paste it anywhere else. Spotlight and Google can index the PDFs. The only thing I can't do easily is edit the docume

If documents are categorised by apps, why have a separate browser for them instead of keeping them in the app? If I want to view my Pages documents, I'd open Pages not Documents or whatever it might be called.p

I don't understand this at all. Are you saying that consultancies cannot form an LLC or that consultancies that do are being scrutinised more by the IRS at this time?

Absolutely. If you want top-tier results, you'll have to hire top-tier people and I don't know a single "designer" who's great at every aspect of design and front-end development. It's important to realise that great design is a balancing a

Mt Gox ( http://mtgox.com/ ) and others let you trade Bitcoins for USD and vice versa. I don't know how much computational power you need to generate a Bitcoin, but the current exchange rate seems to be 1 Bitcoin = 0.280 USD. The few other

I don't know if it's perfect. What if the thing that you're trying to hijack the hype of eclipses yours? If the media are only going to write about one thing today and yours is second best, why would they write about yours?
