   I wouldnt give up on adwords yet. (from your site) If I want GPX to XLS or SHP to KML..thats what I will search for. I don't see your ad there. Have volume discounts for someone doing a lot of processing.

   Also problems with entering in the amount you are paying them instead of that being automated. What if you mispress and over/under pay by a cent, a dollar, 10$...? The trick for any service like this is mass adoption. The service needs to

   What stress? Never worry about things outside of your direct control and you won't have any stress/fear about starting up. Also gauge success by your own measuring stick. How much progress did you make? How much are you learning along the

   People are horrible at taking variables like growth into account. It isn't 66$ per user. It is 33billion/expected number of total users over the lifetime of facebook. So if you throw in rough estimates of 2 billion facebook users and give

   Given fb's current position - would it not be incredibly stupid to NOT do everything possible to continue their growth and try to become more widespread as a necessary layer of the internet? Assume they want to continue growing. Growing bo

   While the exact numbers are obviously not available - something like 500 million was spent on FB ads in 2009 and in 2010 that number is likely a billion. I don't take David's flawed 'they wouldn't raise money if they were making good revenu

    Facebook makes a sizeable amount of revenue now. Why does everyone talk about them like they don't make a dollar?

    The writer of this post is not an average Amazon consumer. I'll confess I click around a lot on their similar items links. You are not an average IKEA shopper. My girlfriend loves going to IKEA for that reason. She looks through everythin

    I have always felt MA had a certain...brashness, abrasiveness, assholish tone, whatever you want to call it... about him. You could feel it in his articles. I now feel it is not only helpful but entirely necessary for him to develop that q

    3 weeks with NiMH batteries isn't a good counterexample. I use a Microsoft bluetooth mouse (the best bluetooth mouse I have ever found) and the batteries last about a few months with heavy daily use. It takes 2 AAA batteries.

    Unfair given the lack of context. Valid because a mouse should be portable to any computer, especially made from the same company.

    I was just ranting about my struggles with Apple mice - I don't feel it is misleading or inaccurate. The image had been passed around earlier this week - I clearly state it is "An unfair image because the mouse is made to be used with a key

    I really like the trackpad for scrolling while coding or going through forums. Any situation I don't want my hands to leave the keyboard area but I need to scroll. I usually do a combination of hotkeys like the spacebar in a browser and u

    I have actually used each of the mice I mentioned - let me give you some feedback. I was referring to the advanced gestures which is not a fair comparison to simple scrolling. But even simple one finger scrolling I struggled with - it coul

    Please don't take a tiny offhand comment that has nothing to do with the key point of the essay as a personal attack on you. That comment there isn't hurtful or perpetuating anything about you.

    The making of video has 'lesbian porn' in the google search box on the top right. Hilarious if it was intentional, and even more hilarious if it was unintentional. Justin Bieber as the sole mp3 on the desktop is also funny for some reason,

    He mentions anecdotal evidence that they haven't followed up with him on that issue. Doesn't mean lying to them isn't problematic.

    I think lying about your activities can get you into some actual trouble - so this could be risky advice if they follow up on who you were visting.
