I second that, I like the product and would love a demo.

This is a great point. I imagine whoever wanted to do the analysis would call Storage Wars and try to get them to work with you and give missing information such as that. It would be good PR for them to help out. I'm mainly interested i

While I enjoy these statistics just as much as the next guy, it's funny that they rarely talk about an obvious commonality that successful projects tend to have. The easiest projects to fund are ones that have founders with experience build

I would love to see if Facebook could create a better search engine by using an individual's social network to weight links instead of backlinks. It might be too much work just to see if it is useful but I'm thinking they have a ton of data

Taking the position that non-patented work could be stolen overnight is an irrational, yet strangely a pervasive fear in software. It's why new entrepreneurs push NDA's on their initial contacts. It's been my experience that there is a tre

One solution to the problem of "your users are the product" is allowing your users to buy their own ad space at a multiple of how much they are predicted to make you. If a user makes you $1/mo in ads then you could charge that user a multip

I wouldn't quickly assume Walmart's strange pricing practices are psychological. I know that Walmart uses advanced analytics for doing pricing and expectation of sales. So it could be possible that these odd cent items aren't for psycholo

Trivial Pain (if that): I was watching Storage Wars last night and I couldn't help but wonder about bidding patterns. The show has such a rich data set and their bidding strategies are so simple that I would love to see someone break down

I would love a reverse lookup, so that I can pick the Can and Cannots and a list of licenses that qualify would come up. Awesome tool, thanks.

Skype should recognize how many people use it for outsource and other global business communications and leverage something in that space. They should have turned the pro version into some cross between eLance and Campfire. Where you can

I believe Meebo was purchased to become part of Google+ not to be an independently operated subsidiary of Google. This shutting down doesn't mean that Meebo will leave the internet space, it just means that the next time we'll see Meebo i

As most of us in the weeks leading to the FB IPO, I was also asked by friends and family if they should buy stock and the best answer was not to give hard yes/no's because I simply didn't know how the market will react to something this unp

I don't understand how the author can separate data from algorithms. He advocates stock piling data but apparently not doing anything intelligent with it? I really have a hard time viewing this as a credible source on algorithms or data.

Congrats, in my humble opinion this looks like a game changing idea. I don't see any reason why this can't become a legitimate news source or the visual version of reddit where upvotes come from density ratings. I'm pretty sure you've tho

I don't entirely disagree with this article but I do know that Google Ad prices are driven by market demand which means that if you price your product to break even on Google Ad conversions you are really just piggybacking on your competito

It sounds like someone should create a device to centralize power. Charge one unit, and all the other units can pull energy from it. Maybe there is a need for a micro-form factor rechargeable battery that can be put in electronic devices as
