Installed it. Very nice and clean layout. Well done folks! Now for the feature requests :-) - disqus vs wp spam prone comments integration? - mobile version? I usually begin all my blog posts while walking. Currently use Notes on the iPhone

Thank you for the compliment (I am the developer of the app). The FREE version is many many versions outdated inc. the name. The paid version will be going Freemium soon so everyone can experience the new UI/UX and features free of cha

All good and great that people write about the value of power naps. And I totally agree of it's value. I love power napping. The energy boost & mental clarity it provides is awesome. But, I am still yet to see a startup/mature

Wasn't saying Apple invented it. I was asking 1. whether it was frame skipping (confirmed now) and 2. Apple Metal reference is for those that remember how well their demo went of their engine.

Unless that mentor was on the board it would still be hard to change a fixed mindset. But then again times have changed in the last 8 years. Influencing people is a hard game. You can only do so much and the rest is inception. That's w

Half of the comparisons in the article are irrelevant, nit picking on stuff that isn't important. However I do agree that Australia doesn't have enough post seed money.. but Blackbird Ventures (and others) are changing that. So I

There is now enough tech information (videos, stories on scaling & stack etc etc) freely available online that there should be no excuse for getting the tech foundations wrong. Unless of course the head of the fish isn't tech savvy

Exactly. That is one thing I hate in the US. You leave a company and they cut all your health benefits. Left on the street. And when you do find coverage you end up paying nearly 1K per month for mediocre coverage. In comparison in Australi

West and East coast in the US are 3 hours apart (timezone - ta-da!). Same issue with timezones applies even in the USA. Realtime support is hard to do anywhere in the world. What happens when the operator is overloaded with too many request

Nikki, thanks for sharing your story. You definitely experienced alot! It sounds like you hit 2 of the biggest issues startups can face. Co-founder disputes and Product issues. Re Co-founder disputes - once money gets involved and the cap t

This feels like an addition to the future self driving cars more than anything else. Sort of like a adaptive cruise control (ACC) or Active Lane Keeping Assist in Mercedes? I see trust & cost being a major hurdle here. Like trusting a s

Sorry to hear the sad story. But there is always hope. Start taking 5000 UI vitamin D daily and buy 10K LUX lamp which you should use for 1 hour a day minimum. London is a gloomy city, overcast most of the time (from what I remember). Most

That is the intent => "the car would still rely on its regular rechargable lithium-ion battery most of the time and would switch to the aluminum-air battery as a backup only if the lithium-ion battery ran out"

The key with how Apple will succeed in this space is the partnerships (distribution) with Mayo Clinic, Epic et al. Mayo is a very forward thinking institute and has already partnered with many startups to expose their data in various forms

"multiple organizations on the same client" - that would be a super addition. HipChat ultimately could be used both as a business tool (esp. for contractors) and also a personal closed environment network communication tool.

HipChat integrates with Jira/Confluence/BitBucket/Bamboo et al. It is the only reason we are using it vs a host of tools sticky taped together with different interfaces. As your team growths you will see the value in having a

Congrats! One advise I can give you (assuming you are a graduate) is DO NOT focus on the money, just focus on building your skills & experience. But don't let anyone take advantage of that either. Sooner or later you will demand a
