I am a little nervous about this switch, but it is definitely a high quality machine with solid attention to detail. Also, Windows 10 seems pretty solid. I have a long way to go, but I am hoping that I can use the Thanksgiving break to get

Is that the first gen or the new one? It is still a little back-heavy, but I suspect the bigger battery in the new base balances it out a little more.

You are right; I should have posted more of an explanation. I am a longtime Mac user who has grown disenchanted and I suspect I am one of many. After the back-toback announcements of the new Surface Book and the new Macbook Pro, I felt like

Success as a small company often comes from passion and expertise. Passion wants more than 3 hours a week. And if it makes money in 3 hours, chances are it makes more in 30 hours.

That's where I am headed. I bought a Surface Pro 3 to play around with and to use for my one .NET project. I loved it, but I gave it to my assistant b/c I didn't really want to use two computers. Well, time to buy a new compu

It sounds like the Linux on Win 10 stuff is just a native Windows version of bash and the GNU toolkit. Plus it has apt, so you can apt-get packages. Now, how many packages are available, I don't know. But I am hoping I can just open up

In my journey to buying and moving to the Surface Book, I just stumbled upon this announcement from March. I have a MSDN subscription, so will I have access to this preview as well? Is it good enough to do Ruby development on Windows direct

And you can run a VM on a Surface Book with as much RAM as the MBP. That is what I am thinking about doing.

I am feeling the same way, except that I know what my next laptop will be. I am ordering a Surface Book. The weird screen thing looks terrible on this MBP. It will require me to look at my keyboard, not my screen. Meanwhile, the Surface Boo

This event determines whether or not I pre-order a Surface Book. It is Apple's to lose, but it looks like that is what is going to happen.

I don't think Heroku has actually gone down. We are on Heroku and have had some of our customers have access issues, but only a few.

No. There was a Palm Treo smartphone without a keyboard first. It even had a 3rd party app ecosystem.

I own 3 retail stores and am excited about this. We have used GroupMe for a few years, but I am dissatisfied with how limited it is. Our team is not sitting at a computer all day and mostly needs to share information efficiently. With 3 loc

They have likely been working on it for two years as well. The idea was worth nothing, and they are likely only able to execute it because they have a ready-made audience. So, what are you going to start building today? Because someone else

Yeah, that is basically the entire advertising industry. Precisely what "brand exposure" is.

What Uber did is reduce the overhead of being the middleman. Which is what lets these services expand to smaller markets. The people who get screwed are the previous middlemen, not the worker bees. If anything, the job of middleman will be

But we aren't just running one form of advertising at a time, so what to we attribute the uptick? Also, our marketing doesn't exist in a vacuum. Weather, competitors, a traffic jam down the street, variations in employee performan

See my reply to the comment above. With local retail, you can't just measure the conversion rate. It is not about the specific number of seconds. It is about the implied engagement and focus of the audience. It is about a reported diff

This is a bias of online thinking. Brick and mortar retail doesn't really know the conversion rate on ad spend. The old adage is that you are wasting half of your advertising spend, but the problem is that you never know which half. So

Brick and mortal local retailer here. I spend over $100,000 annually on advertising in my local market. That is all digital at this point. Facebook video is a significant chunk. The lie is about the effectiveness of video on Facebook. I dir

Both of these approaches seem to be looking in the wrong direction. How does what you are working on now build on what you were working on before? Steer toward hard and long-term problems, but keep the momentum you have already built.

Does this have implications for game consoles too? Is the iPhone the most powerful gaming device?

That is much easier to play on the iPhone than on my MacBook with touchpad.

I think there is a pretty small market for small businesses who want to use a service like this, but want to / are capable of setting up their own Amazon SES setup. The small business market is already hard since budgets are small and
