Here's all I want: Allow me to input something I know , e.g. I wear size 12 Adidas. Then tell me what size I need to buy of the shoes you're selling me, be they Nike, Reebok, or something new. Shoes is one example, applies for many other t

Not sure that applies here. Even if Gmail discountinued OAuth support, you could just fall back to IMAP.

If someone sends me a check, and I deposit it, within a day or two I know the money is mine and can't be yanked back. Not true. Any and all financial transactions are reversible, per US law. They don't make it obvious that they'll do thi

These are valid complaints, but they actually back up the author's point - You still bought the complex-looking item. That it annoys you now is irrelevant (in the author's view). He posits that even though you know you only need 2 buttons f

Dumb question: does this mean WebOS will also include V8 (Chrome's JS engine)?

You'd be surprised. Its been a while since I checked, but in 2003 it cost ~$140k to build a Habitat house in Winston-Salem, NC, not including the cost of the land. "Low-income" shouldn't mean shitty. Good construction is expensive, even on

Why are you using UserVoice instead of your own product?

Same experience here, but consider this: WinZip will work forever without being licensed. Oracle makes you buy a new license for every core. Part of it might be the cost of the software, but pirating Oracle is also much harder than pirating

Glad to see an open-source project that wants help and is written in PHP :) I should be able to knock a couple items off your bug list. Thanks for the code!

A friend lived in a co-op at Oberlin, which had only one house rule: "don't be an asshole." That one rule supplanted all the traditional ones for group living: don't leave dirty dishes, don't play obnoxiously loud music late at night, etc.

Mentioned in the article, you can get free room and board in some amazing places in return for your labor. Check out http://www.wwoof.org if you're interested. My folks have spent a month Italy each of the last 7 years, at virtually no ex

There's a ton of things Flash can do that HTML5 cannot, besides run in nearly any browser ( now ). P2P video is one example, sound recording is another. That doesn't mean Flash isn't overused. But its not useless either.

Definitely, losing the Site Explorer API means I've got to find a new data source for some of our internal tools. If anyone has ideas, let me know. SEOmoz has some kind of API, but I don't know that it is cheap/complete enough to be a suita

That seems too simple. Why did they get so close to an acquisition if the VCs were steadfast against the sale? The TC article implies the Xobni team pulled out, over concerns about the product & team's future within Microsoft. If that's

Honest question: What was Xobni's plan after turning down Microsoft's offer? Making > $20MM selling $40 software seems pretty unlikely.

I saw Mark Cuban speak last week, and he talked about driving to Austin to meet Michael Dell to buy computers out of his dorm (Cuban was then running a systems integration business). He leveraged some family cash, but the guy is scrappy. In

Hi Tom, Yes, I think its a viable business model. But I worry you're jumping the gun a bit bringing someone on fulltime. In general, I think a good progression for freelancers looking to expand capacity is this: 1) timeshift to increase you

You can't win the paper resume game, so skip it. Make a portfolio, list your prices and services upfront, blog actively, and respond to gigs postings on Craigslist. You'll get work if you keep at it. Like all sales, its a numbers game.

He specifically addresses the 'default search engine' possibility, and that's not it: gulbrandr: Can you please redo your test with a different default search engine than Google? Alexey: Already did it. Result is the same, nothing changed.

Solved a real problem: sending text messages to a group. Later, it allowed people to get semi-personal access to people they admire.

MeetUp.com does a good job of this, albeit in a different format. Here in Raleigh, you can always find a pick-up ultimate frisbee game, a developers meet-up, or whatever else you're into. I think the idea has legs, and the fact that people

This is wonderful news. In addition to the slashtags, I'm excited about all the ranking data they're showing off. Right now your only source of ranking data straight from a search engine is Yahoo's Site Explorer, and even that data is quite
