I gave them my email in the sign up process, but that's not what you should be asking about. The issue is them emailing me before I signed up. I don't know exactly how they got it, but I am guessing it's that one of my friends imported th

By that definition, it seems like no services are critical online, as there is always some alternative. The reality is that doing all the changes you mentioned could literally cost some companies many months or even years of time.

Except that they have a patent (not just a trademark) on that, so you can't just do it with a different name. Apple actually licenses the use of 1 click for iTunes, maybe also for the app store.

CodeIgniter has a big following, but so does Symfony2 and Kohana.

"With", simply because I'm often too busy or lazy to read entire threads and just want to see the "best" comments. I'd be okay with hiding the numbers but having some other indicator which could accomplish the same goal.

I thought it was interesting. TC writes about pre-launched startups a good amount, and given this guy's background and the interestingness of the project, seems like a good article.

Add up the market sizes for: private schools, private tutoring (Kaplan, 1-on-1, etc.), test prep (SAT study guides, etc.), for-profit colleges (Phoenix), language learning (Rosetta Stone), what teachers spend in-budget and out-of-pocket for

I would like to hear how this specifically differs from say Kohana or Symfony2, both of which are PHP5 only and have good communities already.

I love this quote: It focuses Google on Facebook's mission. Google's mission is to "organize the world's information." Facebook's mission is to "give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." In a way, Page's e

So if Hipmunk, Kayak, or whoever wanted to remove their dependency from ITA (by doing more computational stuff themselves), what's the best place for them to get their data?

Does anyone know what makes ITA so special? Why don't any of the big airlines have APIs that Hipmunk, Kayak, Orbitz, etc. can use directly? (Do any of them?) Seems odd that everyone should have to rely on this one company for the data, when

It seems like there should be more startups out there trying to do a better job than Google is at email management. I hate to think that there's no more room for innovation or competition in such an important area.

If you're just looking at the screenshots, be sure to look at the Swipe, Onion Skin, and Difference options. I missed them at first.

I'm excited about this program. Hopefully it will bring a lot more smart entrepreneurs and developers into the edu-tech space. It's definitely an industry that's in need of good talent, innovation, and creative problem solving. Quizlet.com
