   Ok so who else is seeing an opportunity to completely undercut all those Taxi startups?

   I love xubuntu, it's like how Ubuntu was before they decided that flash was more important than function.

   Doesn't that entail having sex? I'd check your figures.

   SOME people spend that much on lattes. Others don't. Anyway this is a decent compromise. I think the most compelling use case for free was the single user "experimental" use case anyway.

   You might be right. I'm just steamed about a nice tidy free option being swept right out from under me with no warning at all. Sleep on it I guess, see how it looks in the morning.

   >A delightful, relevant saying I encountered the other day is 'penny wise, pound foolish'. hhh, you might be right. I'm really just a bit steamed about researching all this then getting home and realizing they had just killed it.

   That's not "free" that's just gmail.

   and they lost a lot of people who are pinching pennies when they start but would be hooked into the system by the time they needed the upgrade.

    Also there was no pre-announcement. If there was I wouldn't have wasted any time today on it.

    Yes and if I was setting up a company of 100 people I'd be fine with that because I probably have the cash flow to support that. I was in the middle of setting up a service for a company of one at the moment and having one or two redirect

    because I was about to be a free user but they cut this process off between me checking it out at the end of work and me getting home. All I wanted was a custom email address but I'm not paying 50 dollars a year for something I can manage

    by cutting off free users they just opened themselves to getting undercut by a smaller company that can offer fewer, cheaper, targeted options. I just wanted an email for my domain and that's not worth 50 bucks a year. I'll just set up my o

    I posted this below but I was really counting on Google Apps to set up a custom domain email address. I'm just starting some stuff and it's still very "free time" right now and I am really not going to spend 50 dollars a year on it yet.

    awww you changed "15 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact" to "One on One time". The eye contact thing was my favorite part :(

    I just signed up and tried it out with some stuff. It's like a big mashup timeline of all your stuff along with some filters. So for example I connected my twitter and my github, so if I tweet (or someone tweets @me) it shows up there. Simi

    Can you only access the 25 GB Box account via the Hoijoki dash or is it just a regular Box account?

    What's with people complaining about the front page today? This is really cool and it saves somebody out there some work, that's value and that's worth an upvote.

    mm, the only place I've put this into practice was when I was learning French and living in Quebec, I'd simply say that I was trying to practice and most people would go along with it. I can see it being a problem if your bad accent makes t

    at /domain/portal just put a contact page and ask them to specify what they are looking for. You'll have to do it manually until you build the automated system but maybe the inconvenience would be motivation?

    Meh, like I said I was going to do this tonight myself, now I don't have to. HN saved me some work and I think that's worth an upvote.

    I find mixing tasks helps me out. I use duolinguo at home and I have a bunch of Pimsleur tapes (old method but still great for basics) on my phone for various languages that I listen to when I walk home from the gym and I'm still excited fr

    I think people who say "appearance doesn't matter" really just mean "appearance is ranked much lower than whatever specs I am looking for", obviously at some level the look of the thing will come into play.
