For those that don't use Laravel, PuPHPet[0] is a great utility to generate local and deployable pre-made Vagrant boxes with a variety of apps. If you're interested in testing the Laravel Forge images locally, they use Homestead[1

To anyone that is considering using WePay, I STRONGLY urge you to select Balanced Payments instead. I personally had a $2,000+ order cancelled by WePay, even though my account was 2 years old and had done many thousands of dollars worth of

Does anyone have any idea what the usage rates are for mobile Netflix vs. desktop/console/set-top Netflix? Skype has been moving away from a p2p architecture because of a surge in the number of mobile users.

I'm not mistaken at all. Outside analysis has suggested that iTunes & App Store aren't all that profitable at all[1][2] because they still have to meet the minimum transactions for processing credit & debit cards, which in

Apple has amazing profit margins in their hardware business. Don't forget that they run iTunes and the App Store on razor thin margins and have made that work better than anyone else.

PayPal, Apple, and Amazon are precisely the companies who would have the cash to acquire the company and the desire to do so. I see Square going to Apple so that they can jump start whatever payments technology they're planning to unle

Just curious but where did you see this? This was posted last week on /r/php and the Laravel creator stepped in and pointed out that it was patched awhile ago.

The earnings don't support your anecdotal hypothesis. Blackberry had explosive growth in South America and Southeast Asia after the US market stagnated around 2009. Blackberry's ONLY growth has been in emerging markets for the pas

Not that I don't like what Simple is doing, but American Express, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.. all have the capability to receive an email when your card is charged either by swipe or electronically.

I think he simply entered it into Yahoo Sports, but didn't actually submit it to the Quicken Billion Dollar Competition. If he were in the Quicken competition, the bracket page would have it listed under "Pools" - which its n

Could someone please explain to me why it is justifiable for Edward Snowden (and by extension, Glenn Greenwald) to leak this information?

You're almost never liable for any fraudulent charges made on your credit card or debit card. Provided you notify your bank, the standard procedure is to issue you a new card and reverse the charges. While it's not convenient, I&#

Notice how he's not entered into the Quicken Loans Bracket Pool? They also sent out an email to all the participants stating that nobody was left perfect, so I'm going to guess that he either filled out his bracket post-Round of 6

The current administration wants a reason to increase the military budget, so they would tell people. Aside from that, if it likely got out that US officials knew, it would be a scandal of epic proportions.

Except your plan has one fatal flaw: assuming the plane was stolen to be used as a missile. If this were ISI or a state level actor, the absolute riskiest part would be hijacking a plane in flight with passengers. You risk them uprising, ge

I believe Zecco's business model was "We'll just remove our marketing budget so you can pay $4.95 per trade", which isn't unsustainable, but their merger with TradeKing shows that they probably didn't execute i

Not to take anything away from Brian, but I'd say the online crime world's hatred of Dancho Danchev is probably right up there, if not more. He has blogged[1] almost consistently about different malware campaigns, and for awhile w

I too am turned off by the article. Girish Mathrubootham should've posted this on his own personal blog instead of under the Freshdesk corporate blog. It can _only_ present a bad image for the company. He can be a smug CEO all he wants
