The site seems to be down at the moment. Here is a cached version [1] The gist of it: the slack mac client seems to ask you for your groups before properly authenticating you - hence if you put in the email address of a competitor (or famou

I got a similar experience from a different accelerator (which we didn't go to for approximately the same reasons). What I think happens is that the people sending this are not completely aware of how their role has shifted. They prima

Having actually worked to implement a last minute export feature, I can attest that they went out of their way to make it difficult - with weird restrictions, and no responsiveness on API rate limiting - I'm glad they'll live on,

Without commenting on why Zenimax would launch such a lawsuit now and be public about it, I can't help but see Carmack's response as a potential intimidation move, e.g "You may win in court, but you will lose in the court of

I would go for adding "1 issue of your choice per week" as part of prime (a bit like the kindle lending library) - this would work great for occasional readers, and I could see this generating significant sales for people who bing

same here - it costs more than an app, but less time wise, and I worry less about doing something wrong or forgetting about some new regulation or optimization. In my opinion, once you know enough about accounting, it's the perfect thi

Thanks cobalt for the link - since 2010 it has migrated to an XML format [1] - which is documented albeit not really human readable. However, I can't figure out how to retrieve a .one file from the Mac Client to check for the format -

Agreed - However, I'm still weary of the internal OneNote Format - I haven't poked around, but last time I checked, it was a big binary undocumented blob basically - so the lack of a proper structured export is somewhat worrisome.

It's even more the case for local searches. Google routinely finds badly misspelled locations (from I gather interpolating with my location?) - for these kinds of searches, I don't think any of the alternatives comes close.

I think mefi is a little bit different too, as I understand it, the main revenue come from ads on the Ask Metafilter pages. It certainly isn't growing very much, but I don't believe it's actually declining. I've been awa

This talk was amazing - during it, the room was completely silent... I recommend watching it with enough time set aside to maybe take a walk afterwards.

My guess is that"s why they're bundling a free 2yrs skype wifi with it - no 3G, but free access to many hotspots. Not sure it's a worthwile tradeoff for everyone though.

This looks great - And fits perfectly into a need I had at the moment for sharing smaller screencasts. I had a few crashes with it this morning on a rMBP, what's the best route for support ? (your forums do not seem updated yet for phospho

Earl, I've heard this repeatedly - do you happen to have a pointer or an explanation as to why Mozy is a piece of shit ? Just interested as from a non-specialist, it looked like an interesting offering
