The page shouts "fakers" to me. Yeah it looks nice and all, but that says more to me about the photographer than it does about the company. Anyone can hire a good photographer. I don't feel like I understand anything about these people...an

It may be more convenient for the end-user, but it would raise running costs significantly. If the elevator is needed at the lobby 50% of the time, means it is also needed elsewhere 50% of the time. It means that 50% of the time the lift is

Don't worry, before too long the same argument will appear here. Australia has universal health care btw.... just saying :P

Well, because the point of the article(s) was that the user feels happier if they feel they have control. Besides which people would complain if they physically removed the buttons. Leaving them inactive means nobody is the wiser, and ever

Yeah I've been following the outrage, I just wasn't sure if it applied to children. Thanks for the info. If my child needs to be viewed naked by a stranger, or has to be groped to get onto a plane in the US, then yes we'll be finding somewh

I'm from Australia, but we will be flying to the US in the next few years with our son (and we have a second on the way). My question is, are children subject to the requirement of either a scan or a pat down? I find it hard to believe that

What you're explaining is pretty normal. It's also a GOOD thing. The worst thing you can do is start on a project the moment you think of it. It's like the honeymoon period of a relationship, everything looks great, then you hit reality. A

5% growth monthly (if you can manage to continue that growth) means you're just about doubling the value of your company annually. ($16k sales this month will be $32k in 15mths). If you keep the company growing at this rate for another 3 ye

You DO realise that people can look at your previous comments and see what startup you work at/for? No such thing as secrets on the interwebs :)

I think there are to distinct issues here. The first is how articles find their way to the front page, and the second is how individuals are rewarded (or punished) for their involvement in those stories. The reality is that the earlier you

This is what I was going to say. Your data may be full of noise with people coming expressly to check out your new fangled feature. This is especially true if you've been getting press about it. Personally, I'd interview the people who DID

This is a really interesting problem. Here is my solution: I've resorted to sticky notes placed semi-organised on my wall next to my computer. They're roughly organised by priority, and roughly by project. There are a few reasons why this s

From my experience with the PSP they can't get mobile gaming right. From my experience with the X10 they can't get Android phones right. I dread to think what the two together will be like.

I work from home, and have recently (month or so ago) set up a standing desk. I'm in here 7 days a week. It's actually great because I can walk in and out at night to check emails etc without having to sit down. My desk is an old coffee tab

I've recently migrated to a standing desk after doing a nasty back injury about a month ago. I physically couldn't sit...or rather couldn't move to and from the sitting position. However, I found fairly quickly that I needed to get a stool

I really love the idea (and the execution!), but I'm afraid I have to agree with the GP on this one small point. Your product isn't your website, although at the moment you may feel it is. Your product is the people who are going to spend t

I have above average intelligence, compared to me most people ARE dumb. Said in jest, obviously.... In all seriousness, this is a very common issue for "isolated" developers and designers. We all work in our little cubicles building what ma

I actually think this is an awesome idea. I'd just make a couple of small changes though. Instead of using space to start entering your password, I'd use the TAB key (as people are familiar with it). Then, to make it more obvious to the use

I can't actually work out how to use it. The toolbox makes it look like it's drag and drop but it isn't. I click a widget, and I just get some text that says "add here"....but I don't know what to do with that. Also, I added a page called "

The answer is quite simple. Never do a variable amount of work for a fixed price. Billing on "estimates" is a risky proposition for both sides, and you need to explain this to your client. They may win sometimes, but you may also win. Expla

That's the bit that upsets me. I've dealt with Lance in particular quite a bit. These guys are fanatical about helping out. I WAN'T to give these guys money. I love their stuff, I love their spirit. If this was Paypal I wouldn't be posting

At UsabilityHub we (fortunately) circumvented their "free" user count by never sending them to Chargify in the first place. If we did, we'd be now getting billed $1000 a month. We did this because when we switch to chargify a couple of mont

Firstly, thanks for the change of plan. But don't think you're off the hook that easily! :P I understand the need to ditch free users. It's a common tale that supporting free users is just not worth the effort. But realistically, dropping a

Wow. What a kick in the nuts. UsabilityHub has just shy of 10,000 users. The VAST majority of those are free users, and a fair percentage of those are inactive. My Chargify bill would've just gone from $50p/month to $999p/month! And pretty

How any one who writes a blog can consider themselves anything other than self-serving is beyond me. You can't get any more narcissistic than having your own blog and prompting people to subscribe to it whilst telling everyone what movie yo

Chargify is dead easy to get going. Merchant accounts are HARD. Someone else mentioned using PayPal Pro with Chargify. Chargify no longer support PayPal with new accounts until PayPal sort out their long list of problems. We've been using C
