I was planning to use Ingram for publishing b/c I am in Nashville and they are a local company. Checked out Lightening Source and realized that is Ingram's on-demand publishing product. I guess that pretty much seals it.

I am full-firce right now. But I had a lull year before starting this one where I felt unmotivated. I had a failed startup and one that was "successful" but didn't make me any money. I had enough mostly-passive income from two retail stores

Are you saying business-intelligence should or should not be hyphenated? We just launched a new website and I don't know if it happened to be hyphenated before. My wife is a writer and I could see her wanting to hyphenate as a compound modi

I prefer iOS, but I have android phones (G1 and Aria). The difference between 1.6 and 2.2 is huge. Bigger difference than iOS has seen (though iOS 5 is close)

I second the 99designs recommendation. As soon as you get a single design that you think you might be able to live with, guarantee the auction. You will get better submissions. You can see my archived auction here: http://99designs.com/log

Well, having used Lion for the past few months, I can say that Terminal is unaffected by the changes they are talking about. Running open source development stacks hasn't been affected. So, I don't think a solution is needed. I still believ

Maybe I should have been specific and said that I am a developer who is now the founder. I pay well above average, but I hire people who earn it. Still, as the company grows, there will be a need for more junior developers. In our market (N
