Touche. I say that a lot :-) But there are things I could easily do for cheaper that I still happily pay for - example freshbooks & formstack

Maybe I'm just cheap, but I don't see the pricing as very attractive relative to the free options available. I'm saying that from a relatively small business that is looking to do more video perspective. I'm small enough to be able to host

In Canada Future Shop, Bestbuy, & The Source all sold out online, but may get more stock. In store they are available, but good luck finding stock. In the USA apparently HP direct has updated their pricing - they likely have the most st

You can do very well for yourself, but you have to commit a significant amount of time, research, and be constantly monitoring/changing. It doesn't just "happen" for everyone. A SEO god is pulling in millions per year, but so is everyone in

In Canada Dollarama is the market leader, and they've recently added $1.25, $1.50 and $2.00 items. I honestly think you could grocery shop there - they have things like pasta sauce which is made specifically for them (same kind I buy in the

I run a photo scanning company in Canada ( http://photoscanning.ca ) and I was seriously surprised at the number of people asking for this service. I get a ton of teachers that are looking to have their material on their laptop instead of l

I don't have your extension installed, but if I did I wouldn't have a problem with this (provided I knew about it). I understand you have to make some $$$, and really affiliate links don't hurt me at all/change my price.

I assume you haven't read the book? It makes some pretty crazy claims that "COULD" happen, but aren't likely. Like loosing 100lbs in like 3 months (it "could" happen, but it isn't typical) or gaining like 50lbs of muscle in 3 months, etc. T

I'm emailing customers back and forth a lot, and I like to "humanize" the company a bit. We're based in Toronto, and if we have someone based in Montreal, Ottawa, or Vancouver that emails during the winter I'll usually throw in a jab about

I tried as well, but god I hate beans. If I could just do slow-carb by egg whites and chicken I'd be set... you actually feel good, eat more (so you aren't hungry) and have lots of energy. Neat stuff. No one will get the crazy gains/losses

Interesting. I run a web service that is looking for this type of service as an addon, but I'm confused at your pricing. You take 99¢ base plus 30% of anything over that? So if I charge $2, I get 70¢, you get $1.30, and you'll mail a post c

He certainly carries himself in that young man thrill seeker type way, which probably appeals on a mass scale more to men. The 2nd book did focus on males (weight lifting, giving women orgasms, etc) a bit but wasn't exclusively for men. To

Wow, I just found this as well - this is fantastic. Great job!

I imagine it is a hell of a lot more dangerous now, and the guy willing to spend millions on stolen artwork is likely the guy who could have you killed without thinking about it ;-)

While I agree in theory, you have to think about the conditioning of a customer. The guy spending $1.40 is not likely to become a recurring customer of a $5 coffee, but rather look at it like a treat or "reward" that they get for free. If y

Why wouldn't they? I don't agree with it from a personal stance, but from a business perspective of course they tried to reduce the visibility of this.

Interesting concept... I'd go with a different name though. I'm assuming it is just "selling" loyal customers of a product/service to businesses in exchange for them giving a sample of their product for free. Could work well in other indust

I just was quoted in a national article here in Canada (the Globe & Mail) that talked about using AirBNB... I've passed this story along to the author who is going to see about a followup. This wont stop me from using AirBNB as a guest,

Neat idea, just put it on my site. We don't get a ton of tweets (kind of the wrong audience) but it would be interesting to see. The only thing I'd suggest is a way to add them to follow us on twitter as well...

I know this is an older topic, but I'd have to imagine that going to Mexico to some sort of villa would have a similar result and be a heck of a lot cheaper, especially if you're already in San Diego.

I don't really want to give away their pricing, but in live chat they gave me a general range that was very affordable.

This is a personal opinion, but I find the Ask HN submissions to be my favourite part of HN. I'd love one of these top 100's that was just the Ask HN's :-)
