A friend of mine has a 2 year-old daughter. She's already learning how to type on the keyboard, though she's still a couple years away from entering school. Most likely, when she reaches age 5 or 6 she will already be able to read and write

Disclaimer: Totally amateur (ignorant?) comment. At an atomic/particle level, movement (speed) is related to temperature. If something reached 0 degrees Kelvin, there's no particle movement at all. You could argue that since time is relativ

Totally agree. In spanish there are 2 related sayings: - "El que no llora, no mama", which translates to something like "Babies that don't cry, don't get breast fed" (very raw translation). - "En pedir no hay engaño", roughly translates to

I've been trying and experimenting with Freeswitch for a while now. I first tried it about a year ago and I can say it's come a long way since then, there's been a lot of improvement and everyday new people are coming on board (at least use

They look really nice, good job! Maybe it's my connection, but the cards are going by a little fast, it skips to the next card before the image has finished loading. You could add a speed option and/or a pause button.

I have a friend who studied Business (with a concentration on Entrepreneurship) at Notre Dame (2nd best in Business according to BusinessWeek). While at Notre Dame he could not get decent internships at big companies because these companies

Thanks for the info. I think "purchasing cards" should be for everybody, not only for large companies. And the concept could be applied for checks, money wires, debit cards, paypal, etc. Here in my country, banks make a large profit out of

Credit cards / payment management. I hate that I cannot lock/unlock my credit card (online wire transfers, checks or other payment methods) at will, with a simple click of my mouse. I'd really like being able to choose when my credit card c

Customer help crowdsourced by customers. The basic idea is this: - You have a site where you sell something online (ecommerce) - Someone wants to buy what you sell (product/service) - Before buying it, you offer something (discount, points,

I am not saying they are exclusive, I'm just saying that from my point of view, cash-flow muses are not worth it.

I don't agree much with the idea, seems like trying to take a shortcut instead of focusing on real hard work to achieve what you want. I think that "cash-flow muses" are kind of a myth. If there's something easy to do, it's probably easy fo

I am not familiar with US telephony regulation, could you give an example about this and how it makes your services harder to export? Thanks! BTW, Twilio looks great to me, except I can't use it! I am not too fond of the XML though.

Again, no support for phones outside the US. There's a bunch of companies providing great VoIP services with added value, yet most of them seem to think there are no clients outside of the US. I wonder if it's difficult or just not worth it

Too bad Google Voice only works in the US. And it will probably stay that way for a long time (couple years). I guess there's a good opportunity there, replicating Grand Central for the rest of the world.

Great post! I really liked the tips, very straightforward and simple to follow. Have you tried chat and/or click-to-call solutions like liveperson's or eStara's? What's your opinion on these services? (even if you haven't tried them)
