What exactly do you want to do - surely you need to ask that question before deciding which route to go (or at least let us know and we'll try to help). We use AWS extensively for scaling up and down and it is AMAZING for this. We couldn't

Hi there I think it depends what you're doing. I had a quick look at your bio and if what you are planning is the air-compressed scooter then I think this could be a very interesting project and you'd probably regret not doing it. I'm sure

I agree with your thoughts on this. Its always easier to layoff people and point to the economy

I've done some reading on split testing, where you show two different designs and analyze the results over a period of time to determine which design performs the best. Has anyone here done anything like this and if so can you elaborate on

For our startup the ability to scale up and down on instances is what makes Amazon great. We often run just 4 instances, but ramp up to 10+ at times when we're busy. This dramatically reduces the cost of having hardware which is underutil

Hi there Most of the discussion on here is about web-based apps. We create both web and desktop based software. One of our products (SourceGuardian.com) provides encryption for PHP source code. Our experience was to create something that

I currently use a Mac Mini as a media center with a Panasonic projector. Its a little slow playing HD movies, so I am looking forward to better graphics support. I am concerned though that I might not be able to play iTunes movies via it if

We use it extensively in what we do and its also incredibly fast (which is why we started using it)

Stanza looks great. Thanks for the tip on this

I disagree. Just because he's not an inventor does not mean that he is, by nature, a genius at what he does. His track record of success versus failure is incredibly impressive and whilst this is not done in isolation (ie its with other pe

He doesn't 'make' $100k - that is the turnover. He will have expenses to cover out of this. I still think its a great story and is inspirational to people thinking about starting but don't confuse profit with revenue

I don't own any Apple kit (though I have in the past) and I think the guy is actually quite bright. Anyone can be lucky enough to succeed once, but he has a history of multiple successes. Yes, possibly based on the hard work of others, but

I have a MacMini which I use EyeTV on and FrontRow. Its not perfect but its still impressive and beats an Apple TV in terms of functionality. If the Apple TV was a bit more powerful and allowed for watching/recording of TV then it would be

I think it must be you :) I have a MacMini with a projector and I stream XVID movies from another Mac upstairs. Works fine for me

Ahh, ok - I was completely blown away by what looked like a 1-man creation :) Indeed, I still think its great for one person to have done this. Gonna look at Yahoo! Boss now. Thanks for this

I agree with you. I really like it. Worked well for me. I'm also incredibly impressed with the results. Is this a search engine grown from the ground up with its own crawler or is it using an existing dataset? If self-created this must be

Both Brits: Felix Dennis and Richard Branson. Felix Dennis because of his no bullshit attitude (his book is great) and Richard Branson for being a serial entrepreneur with a sense of humour. Both are probably very ruthless in business also,

Great post! I am looking at AMT for classification training for a Bayesian tool we're working on and it sounds ideal for something like that. Thanks for the post - it helped me to make a decision :)

This kind of post doesn't do him any favors. If its true (and that is up for debate) then it's still down to him not sorting the deal out 100% before he gave everything away. Business really can be a nasty place and he should really have h

That looks good. I'm interested in chatting with people about crawling, data processing etc - so if anyone else on here is into the same stuff, contact me :)

Fully agree with you. Some of the apps look great. I bought an iPhone as its the best out there for what I need, but I'd definitely get an Android phone if it proves to be as good. Now I need to find out if there's an app like this for the

This 'cloudbursting' is what a lot of people, ourselves included, are doing. Basically we run 2 servers for one of our projects and these serve up content, provide 'my account' services and a sales function. We use AWS for the heavy liftin

Yeah, I think it is too. As technical people its not a big deal for us, but you should make it as easy as possible for people otherwise you'll lose the business to a potentially inferior competitor who makes it nice and easy

Rather than getting complicated, see if something can be built that is really simple at first and if this works then move to creating something else. Two initial ideas from me: 1. A simple site for people to post ideas they want to work on

I agree on this. Think of creating a 'brand' if you can. It will work out better in the long run
