Who do you think the target for this stuff is then? If I'm worried about low-latency MIDI, I'm probably going to be using some other drum trigger, pads, vdrums, etc. Personally, I think it's a toy and not much else, so I don&

It seems like I see these articles pop up on a regular basis over at Inbound or GrowthHackers. I think the problem is two-sided: one on the part of the tester and one on the part of the tools. The tools "statistically significant"

This can often times be summed up as a value-prop against opportunity cost and ROI. Do I have the time to create this page vs. doing something else? What direct return will I get if I spend $1000 and get x% increase?

This could be interesting. Especially for artists using the Apple toolchain, namely Logic. It seems like a lot of stuff could then be duplicated on the desktop / mobile to give interested listeners control over various song elements. I

I have no idea how airline accounting works, but if these numbers are correct, you'd have to assume quite a bit of money collected is not counted as revenue and is going to cover direct costs like taxes.

Is this how it works? My assumption was that Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover were the ones that made the % of each transaction and then the issuing banks were the ones that made the money from fees and interest.

A lot will depend on the situation as well. Maybe you're willing to take less money to sell the house faster. Getting a very aggressive agent would be a good option then. Like with most things, you're best bet is to do the researc

Yes, that was the argument in Freakonomics and they're completely right. The real estate market can be extremely receptive to low prices, so if you list your house very low, you're likely to sell it much faster. The bulk of the mo

The MLS and agent-based system is the real culprit. Until Zillow and Trulia came around and really captured attention, that data was accessed on a few larger sites, like Realtor.com, but also a massive amount of smaller agent sites. While Z

This isn't a condemnation of QuickCoin specifically, but can someone make BitCoin useful for a bigger demographics? That's a much larger problem than simplicity.
