Cool! Thanks for sharing. How long did it take you to develop?

People saw value in Facebook, otherwise they wouldn't have purchases shares last week. Yes, well overvalued but investors are willing to pay a premium for the associated and perceived value. 1) The main value is the sunk cost people have in

Looks like those guys in mission control are having a blast. One guy appeared to be sleeping. Slightly unrelated but underneath the video it has a live counter of views. "1159 current / 944428 total views"

This is a massive pain for me. Desktop PCs are awfully noisy. However laptops are not always that quiet. Anything with a fan can start creating noise. I know you can replace fans but this is nuisance if you don't know much about the inner w

Thanks for sharing such a comprehensive tutorial. Good starting point. One thing missing are some worked examples of building something end-to-end (ie a basic application).

Wow! What a great result! So how does one get featured in the two dollar deal? What have sales done now, back at the normal price? Would you consider dropping the price permanently?

There is a risk that these types of information leaks will become more common. Organisations are being forced to compete and have an online offering. This is great but suddenly you have linked systems that put sensitive customer data within
