QuickBooks proper is nasty, but one very compelling reason many businesses use it is that you can hand over your "QuickBooks file" to almost any accounting firm; they can do your taxes or solve an accounting problem. This is hugely valuable

I think the very biggest companies (with hundreds/thousands of users) would require a long sales cycle, but I would start by ignoring that market since those companies aren't going to move to this new upstart until it has some history. So t

This is a market that is ripe for innovation. The large incumbents are very expensive and offer an experience that borders on abuse. My company has about a half-dozen heavy users and we spend more than $300 per month on this junk. A lighte

It isn't beside the point. He isn't doing his job, and painting it as simply criticism of his failure to emote is a smokescreen.

This is very cynical. Are we really to believe that the only part of Obama's reaction one would find lacking is his lack of theatrical anger? I would argue that his actions are coming up short too. The simple fact of the matter is that Obam

I suspect that not charging overdraft fees will result in adverse selection-people that have no money and therefore can't be used to build a loanable savings asset. I really hope this works, but due to switching costs, BankSimple will have

Could be wrong, but don't think anyone at Innova is involved with Cohpy. We contribute at OWASP (both corporate and time), and have been a big supporter of PHPMeetup in the past. We'll give Cohpy a look.

The main use-case I see for this is physical objects which already have a barcode. If you were going to go to the trouble of barcoding something yourself (e.g., business card), you'd be better off using a URL, where you'd be able to contro

This is why the Ruby (esp. Rails) community only works for startups that pay in "equity." Down-mod if you want, but I've been running a 20 employee company for more than six years and have recently moved contract work from PHP to Python due

I've been going to Seaside FL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaside,_Florida ), one of the early NU towns for many years, and just had my wedding there. The highway 30A coast, which includes Seaside has at least four examples of New Urbani

Yes, I read the article too. The cost of the twitterer's salary is just a minor part of this maneuver. It is unavoidable that this person will be supported by public resources, just as public resources are used for anything else which inv

Your tax dollars at work. I would be for this expenditure if it were likely to involve real communication. Instead, your money will be spent to pander to the proletariat and to oversimplify issues that align with Obama getting re-elected.

Your app should have a "how much would you pay?" field. The answer is probably zero for most of these.

This is very cynical. So saying "thank you" implies that a meeting was one-sided? I thought it was just being polite.

When a customer is going to spend more than $100k, they look for a relationship to minimize risk. Golf and similar activities are what the buyer demographic does with their friends. Do people really think that customers that sign up for $10

It is insulting to this company's employees that Schwartz still doesn't get it. This tweet is characteristic of his failure to view the world as it really is, and to sell something that customers will pay for. Oracle, IBM, HP, Apple, etc ar

We've been in this space for a long time, doing both consulting work and two healthcare web services. It is usually a mistake to think of HIPAA as some sort of over-arching checklist of requirements such as encryption schemes. Instead, your

Disney made money from proprietary content last quarter (they paid $0.35/share dividend), and censorship helped the Chinese Communist government remain in power. So the system "works" in the sense that it performs as designed. I don't thi

Elegant, and one seems to follow from the other. The only problem is that the analogy is wrong. Copyright seeks to improve customer choices by creating profit incentives. Those who are willing to invest can create, and those who are willi
