Interesting. I'm going to take the trial for a run shortly, may write a review about it in the future.

Fair enough, but I'm sure at some point Twitter facilitates names from squatters, no? Or at least handles a transaction like that? Do they just require no money changes hands?

I don't condone bullying, and to each their own... but why don't you just ask him for a bucket of cash and be done with it?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is this a subscription app? Couldn't I run this on my site for a month, find the long tail keywords I need to improve, and then cancel? For most sites wouldn't the keywords generally stay the same?

Can't agree with you more. I used to live looking north up Church and between 3-5AM there wasn't a single car - it would get actually creepy. Day time I had helicopters landing beside me, phone calls, horns, construction (!!!) etc.

Yes - when we go to Google.com, it redirects us automatically to google.ca. That being said, we can click "go to google.com" and it usually shows the US version.

Must be geotargeted as the google.com logo for searches in Canada aren't black. It does say "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the web!"

Disclaimer: I've never used Kickstarter This being said, I was under the impression that funding a project is still a bit of a risk - I'd expect that some projects (like businesses) simply don't work out how they planned - this seems like t

I love it - does anyone know if there is an iOS app that has this functionality? I read the title and instantly though how cool it would be to do exactly what the article described.

Just to mention, the WSJ link on your homepage is messed up ( http://onespot.wsj.com/technology/2011/12/06/c5a58/reverse-r... )

Reviews are a huge part of my business, and the third party recommendation site (GigPark) that we use doesn't allow us to edit, delete, or respond to comments. I kind of like it like that - it forces us to take care of issues and make sure

Go try it and let us know how it works out. Nearly every professional sports team has policies against recording (even your own home videos) at the games. You'll promptly be asked to leave if you don't comply. By your logic, If Fox has the

Sure, you could have a go-pro or something, but it wont be anywhere near what people will pay for. They want the full overhead view so they can track the plays & the movement of each player - you're still not getting that angle from the

That would work for about 20 minutes until they find out your location and throw the book at you for broadcasting a copyrighted event. You got an SLR in, but try "filming" a game with it - you'll be stopped in under 10 minutes, I promise yo

Chargebacks are not a quick process (at least in my business). It would take well over 1-2 months before the chargeback was completed, and with the volume Amazon likely has to deal with I doubt they are tied to his account already?

This is how you "get things done" - complain online to get the most PR you can, the company finally listens, and will fix it within 24 hours. It's too bad it has to come to that.

How do I full screen this? I find the chat completely pointless and the people beneath moving very distracting. I want to see him & the presentation, not this crap moving?

I've dealt with some Government agencies before in a few different capacities, and they actually WANT To spend their money. The actual cost doesn't really matter, as they are trying to get as close to their budgets as possible, as to not ha

On your iPhone? If you're trying to use 3G as a replacement for a home or office internet then I certainly see why you're disappointed.

I don't doubt that Rogers embellishes things like that. I'm still happy with $30 for 6GB. I'm equal to any "power" user, I work on the road and tether daily while using the iPhone for basically everything. I'm still not getting anywhere nea

Seriously? I have yet to meet a single person who has gone over 6GB on a mobile plan (even with tethering). In fact Rogers put out a statistic that something like only 3 people went over 6GB in the first month they offerred it. As I said, I

Hence why I said "basically". I tether daily (including streaming the occasional leafs game, radio, etc) and haven't gone over 6GB.

I think the "ability" to do this is cool... but I can't imagine that I'd ever feel the need to actually do this. Novelty, sure, but practical? Not in my mind.

This is literally a guy who saw a good opportunity ($2000 reseller account) without a clear TOS (i.e. "unlimited accounts) and then exploited it. LiveDrive is pissed off, they terminate, and he's scrambling. This doesn't end well for ANYONE

Cool idea, but I'm not driving 10 miles out of the way to get to KFC/Taco Bell. I don't think this should feature restaurants but rather "things to do", hiking trails, look outs, maybe specific food places (local legends, etc) but specifica

I've worked closely with Dave @ Client Acquisition Partners ( http://teleleadsonline.com/ ) - I know he's worked with some tech companies, so it might be worth a shot. FWIW, they are redesigning their website!
