It really depends on your investment strategy. That's the real problem with actually moving the company to the US. At the time this post was written we didn't have any investment, so it probably wouldn't have killed us to set up a Delaware

If something's going to go wrong in big uncontrollable way, it's most likely going to be in (or coming out of) a corner. These races should see fast turns being made way outside of the viewing area. Quite simply, an aircraft should never be

Just change that one line "He was right. I got the job, they paid, things went well, nobody got sued." to "He was wrong. I got the job, they didn't pay, things went horribly wrong, everybody go sued".

I think exceptional customer support is one of the most critical and yet most overlooked aspects of running a startup. It's how you turn customers into fans, and fans is often the difference between winning and losing. Through our previous

Fortunately, like a good interface, it is immediately and clearly obvious what the function of the article is. I think it's safe to say that any mechanical engineers that may have read this article were smart enough to realise that the targ

So a multi-billion dollar behemoth that uses your image without your permission in an advertisement for a product that you don't support is a "minor, and ultimately inconsequential, annoyance", but a tiny little startup has a typo on an ERR

The thing I like about Zerply is finding people to work with. Which is kinda the point of a professional network when you think about it. It's only fairly new, but I think the value will come from endorsements more than connections. If you'

BugHerd is about logging bugs/issues on your own website/webapp. It's quite different from notemoz. Unless I'm missing something?

"we call it 'the aristocrats'!" See...doesn't have the same impact when you just tell the punch line. The piece which was tl;dr for you was one of the most uplifting and inspiring stories I've ever read about watching a Shuttle launch, and

To quote another phrase, "there's no such thing as a free lunch". Free-to-air TV is only "free" because the TV network is selling your eyes to someone else. Radio is only free because they're selling your ears to someone else. Even my own s

I think it's less of a name issue, and more of a customer engagement issue. If your customers can't remember your name, you're not talking to them enough. Doesn't matter how light weight your app is. Having said that, I'm not sure why the O

There is only ONE rule you need to follow. - Speak to people how they would like to be spoken to. I get so annoyed with all this email rules BS. 5 sentences max, Twitter-style "body in subject", dot points only etc etc. All a load of crap.

It's also a common sight to see canvas water bags hanging from the front of a 4WD in Australia. The bag is porous causing some of the water to evaporate slowly as you drive. Hey presto, beautiful cold water when stop to take a break.

I've been a .NET developer for close to 10 years. Our last product (UsabilityHub.com) was written in .NET simply because it is what I know. In reality it doesn't matter how good .NET is, there are two reasons why we didn't use it for our la

Whilst I get what the author is trying to say, I strongly disagree. Ignorance of competition does not make your thought original, it just makes you ignorant of the competition. It suggests that any thought you have in isolation is by defini

Your biggest concern is you want a $20 refund? They can keep their $20 in my view, as long as they ensure it never happens again.

504 Gateway Time-out nginx/0.9.2 You really want to make sure your shit works before you go boasting about how well it works. :) EDIT: seems to be working now :P Interesting article once I got over the irony of it not working.
