You too? :) I have a slightly different focus, but I'm amazed I don't see more startups in this area. I'm very early stage, with a slightly different focus, but I'm curious now if there are other people in stealth...

On the other hand, I switched to an iPhone being a previous AT&T customer in Arizona. I have had more issues with dropped calls and unreceived calls than I had with my previous phone. In fact, people have started to call me multiple tim

Some of us out there are starting to get worried, yes, and thinking about how we can pull out of the google monopoly. I've started trying out other searches and I'm trying to find a good way to transfer my email right now.

A batter does change his behavior. There are multiple ways to hit. Sometimes, you attempt to hit a ball to a gap in the defense, where it is difficult for a player to make a play, and to get it there quickly. Sometimes, you try to hit it do

I would worry about trying to specialize in internationalization. It can be a lucrative market, and things like iphone apps are relatively easy to do. Trying to aim for the international audience, however, can be deceptively hard.

The IamA subreddit is developing an interesting culture. There are some issues of people faking, but in general it shows an interesting cross-section of life in a very addicting and supportive way.

Certainly. However, look at the typical Spring web application. There's 1000 lines of XML supporting the application, which is three times the size of the equivalent ruby/python application because of all of the mechanics of setting and get

No -- they'll just be pissed to keep hearing the alarm go off and you rustling the bed, unless you have to wake up at the same time.

I have yet seen a way to scale having a beer with a teacher after the class is over and chat about the field of study. Email or IM is just not the same thing. I've seen people teaching online classes, and I've been in online classes. There'

That's like saying a grandmaster has a 4/5 chance of losing a 5 person chess tournament. The competition must be genuinely good to have a chance.

I have my macbook. I like the hardware, for the most part. However, I just installed ubuntu again on my desktop, and it's like coming back to an old friend. I love middle click paste alongside ctrl-V. I still can't get used to all the mac c

He was not the only individual to misunderstand the intent of the post. "Perhaps I was misunderstood" goes a lot further than flaming. That said, yes. Palm will have private APIs and privilege its own developers first. Consider the internal

Why not outsource the designer and find someone who has UI down? For many applications, design is relatively small as a portion of the project. UI, however, is ongoing.

Because it would drive up the cost of software, it would spur the requirements of better requirements definition at the outset. It would also kill most in-house development, for that matter.

The problem, however, is that this subset of the economy (banking, investing), once past the IPO stage, is basically an entire exercise on how to make paper, not how to make wealth. The system, in overvaluing short term results, is often co

It's nice when you are born on second base... Unfortunately, you think it means you hit a double. I have a friend who lived off of pell grants and loans to make it through a degree. He did not have the aptitude for math or science, and ca

bath robes are too constricting for laying on a couch, and not that comfortable all things considered. Further, my bath robes at least are short sleeved.

Let's take an example of which I do boycott. I boycott Rockstar energy drinks. I do so because the owners of the company actively contribute to causes that are anti-gay, and the founder is a man who has said all sorts of vile things about L

How much are you making a month? 10/hr, 40 hours a week, that's 1600 bucks before taxes, ends up being much harder to pay 80 dollars a month from. Hopefully, you don't have student loans to pay back too. (Hopefully, you don't have a kid!)

One point is missed: if we start making the small changes in our personal lives, we are more likely to notice the changes that need to happen in our corporate lives -- we are our corporations, after all. Further, they hint around it in the
