I really like this idea. What if site like the Wall Street Journal adopted it instead of their current paywalls? You had to "flattr" to access the content but the price you are paying is then determined by how much big your monthly flattr a

It's a little frustrating seeing a full page of iPad posts but when I looked a little closer I could see that they're all (mostly) looking at different things. I was keen to know more about why it didn't have a camera and how this would aff

I'm sure if they really wanted it Apple could make a massive donation to cancer research in return for the domain. That would be a win/win. That said I don't think it's really all that important. That's the beauty of brand names like Apple

I'm looking for a Python / Django tutor at the moment and would love a system where I can choose and change the types of tutelage as I go along. A $/hour scale is going to be the easiest way for me to ascertain the skill/knowledge/experienc

This is the kicker - when he registered them all he didn't think to install any analytics software. He has done it now just in case but it's not much help.

Cool, good advice. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! I'm actually asking this for a friend of mine. The domain is already attracting a good amount of traffic for a fairly popular application. He's already registered a bunch of domains to keep the squatters at bay - the q

I just made one using Screenium for the video, audacity for audio and iMovie for editing on the mac. Went pretty well, would recommend.

I'm doing this right now. We do have a product to display but it's not the minimum viable product yet - we hope to release that in about a month. My approach has been to explain what we've got at the moment, what we're building and what we'
