Snapchat. Thought it was a pretty dumb idea till recently. I'm now an active user. To be fair though, I still think the messaging feature of it is fun only as the occasional gimmick. The value tapers off as soon as you pass a certain a

just throwing in my experience here. I've seen a few sites that actually had the password reset request send them a url that was formatted as: example.com/password_reset?username=<username> You could basically type that in a

Since I went through something similar recently, one of the best things to do is to get in touch with the CERT local to the company and tell them what the issue is. They can be pretty effective in pushing companies to solve the problem.

I work for a company called Cinergix. We make a product called creately. Sri Lanka has an IT industry largely based around offshore and services. So to have a product used globally definitely falls into the isolated criteria. Apart from us

Writing it on paper helps though. Generally it's a bad idea to let tomorrow's actions cycle through your brain endlessly. Writing it on paper has this effect of transferring the mental responsibility to another medium. Instant rel

I feel sad for the OP because he found himself in a trap of "my title matters". It doesn't. The only question that mattered was "do I like what I do? Do I learn and can I learn more? And most importantly, is it feeding t

Wife pointed out one. Hotmail. The glory days of internet. Sat on its ass. It's actually great now (outlook.com) and I prefer it over gmail now (bring out the flame throwers). But it took a long long time to get there.

Hashable. One of the startups that I believed in the most just crashed and burned. Right out of the gate they got plenty of feedback. Lots of hate. Some amount of love. Much confusion. But the people who got it, really got it (that's m

I'm not going to comment on the aesthetics. That can come later. In fact it's nice to have a stripped down site like this so that one can focus on just the content avaialble. And the content, is very... Vague. My initial thoughts
