Yes that could be it, but I can tell you in new cities incentives are not big. When I see Buzz with Google Local Listings (with coupons), and place page I feel like I will not be using Foursquare that much. I'm probably wrong though, I was

Doing consulting in insurance companies, I can tell you Facebook have been banned for a long time, and twitter more recently. As an outside consultant I have gmail, but the employees sometimes don't have it.

Just tried it out on my Android, can someone tell me why I'll go to Foursquare now... This is the best checkin interface yet.

Mechanical Turk is a fascinating tool, maybe this is not the most interesting use, but it still make hacker drool. When you can't have AI, you use AAI (Artificial AI). You can use it to train pattern recognition. It sure beats doing the wor

What I did was to have up to five person work on a hit. Many simple hits are done at 0.05$ so it's still not too expansive. For text submissions, you can enforce validation rules (simple and regex). So you don't have to manually reject non-

If I remember right, Compete is only reporting user in the U.S. which explain the low numbers.

Worked pretty good on logos around the office. Also great for business card, recognised all the data, but the add to contact was not selecting the most relevant data. It did great with QRCode too, but those were already easy to read. It's f

Yes they should have left the prices up, I ordered some and it was 7 GBP or about 11-12 USD. This included international shipping. They had different pack options, but I think all the options were the same price. I got the option 1: 5 X 10g

Just waved you, I'm jfno67. Happy to help you test the service.

Great demo, It even loads on my Android, I just can't start it without a keyboard. Wonder how well it would run.

First to Rex, my condolences. I just wanted to add a suggestion over the reasonable evaluation and the option to buy. In our startup, the company has taken life insurance on both founders and half of the insurance amount almost match a valu

After watching a TED presentation on External motivation, which stated it did more harm than anything. I was nodding in full agreement and trying to think of one job where it was not true. The only job I came up with was sales, I was just n

"No more dropped calls in the bathroom." Is that really why we need less owning of the airwaves? I get the point, but I think there must be more compelling argument.

I have the HTC ion, which is I think the same as the myTouch. Performance is similar to what I was getting on my iPhone 3G doing mostly web, emails, messages and phone functions. My battery life is shorter than on my iPhone though, I pretty

Having done the switch from my iPhone 3G to an HTC Magic I find both of these phones are far from perfect. I may switch back again, but believe me, both still have problems. -My iPhone would not rotate when I was rotating my phone, I had to

I could not agree more. Now that iTunes has dropped DRM, I have paid for all my music since then. The last time I copied something, there were no non-DRM version on iTunes and Amazon was not selling the non-DRM version in Canada. So as a la

Interesting and I'm happy he doesn't see adding DRM as a solution. I wonder if he thought about long term effects of this piracy. In the context of one game you can see piracy as lost sales, but in the long term those are people that were e

Yes it works (that is what I did too), but the user-agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090701 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5 GTB5 I don't care and don't mind waiting for the meta-package to point to 3.5

Mongrel was effectively so much better than using FastCGI and it served well for a time. Now passenger is a step in the right direction, easier to setup and monitor. We had some memory consumption problems also when we decided to migrate an

I don't think he meant literally "make good jerky and sell it on the web..." He is pointing out someone who is doing well, serving a small niche. This shows that small success is within the reach of most, and that you don't have to have a i

Nice idea, since they help the renter to bill the room. I'm always a bit surprised that new segment between B&B, Vacation Rentals and hotels are invented. Is it that people think those existing segments are well served?

It's nice, they added some new stats. I will keep using compete.com, but it's interesting to see it isn't dead.

Many crimes are not solved only by DNA. It's far from being the perfect crime. They can't prove their guilt now, but having narrowed the list of suspect, I think the police has now a good chance of finding further evidence and convict the p

Many will point out the fact the introductions and the opportunity to work with other startups are worth more than the money. I want to say the money is worth it too. We are self-financed and so we do contract to pay our living expenses. It

I was wondering if there was a difference for company or individual developers? We registered as a company and just getting the legal department to allow us to submit took 4 weeks. After that the review of the application "Stay Tonight" too
