Awesome - any chance of removing the pagination or increasing the size of paged when looking at, say, the class lists or people?

Actually no - the RIGHT kind of business is good - as it means a middle class is created in those countries - and well, we can see the results. The right kind of business is in consumer goods - it's hard to have low aspirations when you are

Trade Me - the New Zealand site that owns Auctions, motors, and half of the property and jobs markets in the country. It was bought by Fairfax Media, the biggest media company hereabouts, and they followed the golden rule for several years

Keep talking, but don't let them distract you from the main work of building the business. If you really want to have an exit then you need others involved as well - other buyers and smart experienced people to help with valuation and legal

Uncensored - yes just as Fox News or CNN or the BBC is uncensored. But all practice some degree self-censoring, where they. for example, beep out language deemed offensive More importantly all have some degree of bias. (Let's not get into t

Everything you just mentioned can be summed up by the word experience. The customer experience Apple delivers is the sum of all of the different ways that we interact with the company's products, from hearing about them, shopping using and

It removes the unusable rubbish from the store. The last thing Apple (or I as a customer) want is a vast quantity of demo or crippleware on my computer and cluttering up the store.

which was a failure - a failure to commercialize a technology that we all wanted. Apple later delivered the iPad, and the rest is history.

This is exactly what Angel investors should be doing. It's a relatively small amount of money, delivered with extreme speed and a willingness to take a punt. Angels may want to step up the the VC plate, but the risk is that the documents a

Yes - 4Chan is the new FB. It's deliberately unappealing, it's the new generation. I liken Mys[ace/bebo/friendster/facebook/linked-in/4Chan/whatever to bars and nightclubs. They can get popular for a while, even wildly popular, but eventua

eBay does not actually need a lot of infrastructure in a new market (relatively)- int's all server based. Amazon is a another story, with their inventory approach requiring critical mass of warehousing close to market. eBay are famous down

and it took me, well I'm not even sure, but probably 4-5 years of actual travel time to hit about 70 countries, and all up 12 years or more living abroad. I didn't see enough of _any_ of those countries. I agree it's not about hitting a nu

A good question. It's pretty tough for 4 wheeled vehicles to get across the Darien gap between Panama and South America. Driving is absolutely not an option - the track has been done I think twice by motorcycles, but that's it. Plenty of gu

amazon sells books, and let's you read them on any device, their own Kindle included. They would see that opening their device up to Google or others will reduce the amount of books that they can sell. It would be similar to Apple opening u

I agree, but I really wish that Steve would invest in a book designer. It's truly one of the most ugly books I've ever seen. But to be fair it is actually the minimum viable product.

It sounds like you already know the answer. My 2 cents is to back yourselves for another month or two, keeping it lean. Use the time to improve the viability of the business, but also to shop for other offers. A bit of competition will incr

Each country gets access to much much smaller down list of steams, movies, books, tunes and even apps versus the USA store. As a result many of us have to use a USA iTunes ID as well, which is painful as it means access to a US credit card

It's something we all need to do - not just "management." A great company culture will, almost as a byproduct, see people genuinely complementing each other on great work, and supporting each other to do even better work. There is no us and

Yes - It's for Trade Me, which is the dominant auction site in NZ - and has better trading stats per person than pretty much any national eBay site.

If you are changing your oil every three months then you are almost certainly wasting money. You should trust the integrity of the oil change shop about as much as you would trust an 'SEO expert.' There might be good ones, but most are look
