Seems like a learning opportunity here. Could this have been handled differently? Maybe something like: BIGCO asks for info/demo, you oblige. BIGCO is pleased, asks for more discussions, Q&A, etc. At this point, you present an NDA/Non-c

Obligatory link to the 2010 list of the top 10 risks: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2010-Main Interesting how many items are still there from 2004 to 2007 to 2010.

I don't think they mean canceled, as in "not cashed or usable". They mean canceled as in "transaction complete, this instrument is no longer valid for further transactions". When you write a check and someone uses it, it gets sent to your b

While both remarks were somewhat snarky, I'd like to hear your evidence that "the American people" are supporting the "billionaire welfare class". It's the first time I've ever heard the table turned like that and would like to learn more.

For those who don't follow NASCAR. There was a wreck that escaped the view of the TV cameras. The only glimpse appeared to show a car hitting a wall at 170+. The engine was ripped from the car and the driver crawls out and lays on the track

An article about 2 companies arguing who's better. I must have missed the part where they actually debate, or brawl, about the future of IDS. Seems the biggest technical thought put forth was, "your performance sucks". Maybe that means IDS

I've been loosely following your story and this Forbes piece will certainly add to your company history. I'd like to know how this coverage came about, and why you couldn't/didn't use this platform to highlight some of the payment processin

I wonder what long term effects this has on domain names. If people need only to remember how to use iTunes or Chrome to find and use an app, will you really need your app.com domain anymore?

I don't think this is any closer to reality than it was 2 days ago. The setting shown in the screenshots are not in the latest beta build I installed on the 3GS. Other developers confirmed that it's not in their build either. I have yet to

I think rockets are cool, and racing is cool, but I don't see this being that much different than pylon racing with faster planes. Now, the thing that really bugs me about RacketRacers is how they try to compare themselves to NASCAR. I thin

I wish I had something more insightful to say other than "very clever". I do wonder where this car will end up after the shoot. The corporate headquarters? The ad agency lobby? A science museum? Barrett-Jackson?

Just speculating: I don't think customers buy "better", they buy "solution". They don't care about elegance or how many features you have. Just, "does it solve my problem?". If two things solve the same problem, it may then come down to "ho
