Thanks! I missed the deadline for winter funding but this time I told myself no matter what I wouldn't miss it. I turned it in a couple weeks early even. I just want to remind everyone that is applying with me this time around that even if

I think the API keys are fine by themselves, I think the willingness to accept the API keys only shows that you have a commitment to keeping their data secure. You could offer a "free" consultation service to show people have to make the AP

I think this is a novel concept, but I think people will see the password and be a bit skeptical to use it (I realize you can use the secret key). You will need a way to build trust with consumers so that they use your service. As well, you

I chose Java, but hackers shouldn't have a language that is their "favorite". They should use all languages and pick that one that is best for the job. I realize this may be an unrealistic task, but I try my best to do it. While I probably

Yup, nobody buys b-movies, documentaries or anything like that. People simply only wait for "MPAA-Approved" content to come out because it will be the only thing ever to be worth purchasing. Things like 21 jump street are so good in fact th

This is interesting, I knew one of their main sources of revenue (World of Warcraft) wasn't doing as hot, but still had over 10million people, which at 15$ a month subscription, is nothing to scoff at. The 60 developers is the most interest
