You also get a big performance boost when you use the cache-control headers properly. Because you'll be saving the browser having to connect to the server to check if the file changed, and if you have many js, css, and image file, then you'

Set your title as Chief Design Engineer on your incorporation documents. In practice, no one will probably bother to check, and even if they do, they'll go by what the title is on paper. The reality is, you'll be doing mostly programming wo

When I see someone with 700 Facebook friends or more, my first thought is that they're most probably friend collectors. They either add every profile they come across, or they accept every invite they get (usually from other friend collecto

This was a little disappointing. I don't see any mention of background jobs, which they've been promising for a while. And, second, the date to launch billing looks like it might not happen before the end of the year. But, overall, my expe

Not in Google Apps. I tried, and I don't have the "labs" link. I can enable it for my regular gmail account though.

How do you count a work hour? I answered 40-50 because I count only the 'productive' hours in which I'm doing something specifically for my startup. If I include the hours I spend reading, learning new technologies, networking, and attendin

I read the book, and what I understand is that he started working 4 hours a week AFTER years of very hard work until he built a profitable business. The really hard part is getting to that point. The book is still a good read, though, and h

I used 99designs for the logo of my latest project and I'm very happy with it. I put up a content and set the prize to $150 (+$39 that 99designs charges) and I started getting logo submissions within hours. By the end of the 7 day contest p

DuckDuckGo is awesome. Voted up. I also like the idea of SocialMention, but it didn't work well for me. Most of the results I got were not relevant.

Another advantage to IFrames is that it makes porting your app to OpenSocial easier. The two platforms seem to be converging recently: Facebook enhancing their Javascript APIs, and OpenSocial building their REST APIs and working on an equiv

Good point. Although the doctor is still important because they're the ones controlling the machine and other details of the surgery, but the main point is that the machine is the most critical part. Find a place that uses the latest techno

There is also perceptual contrast. By explaining that the rug is worth $3000, it makes $1100 look very cheap.

I worked from coffee shops as well for about a year right after I started my startup. It's definitely better than working from home; you get to be around people and you end up being friends with other regulars. I rarely had issues with wifi

Yes, SOAP is not always the right solution. It adds extra overhead, which is the price you pay for having the tools validate and map the message to objects automatically for you. It's your call weather that's worth it or not. In many applic

I used the challenge deadline as a motivator to get me to learn the Android SDK quickly. Downloaded the SDK on the last day and had to submit by midnight. I built a simple twitter clone but instead of seeing what your friends write, you see

1. Facebook doesn't need to be bigger than Google to be successful. All they need to be is "profitable". Why do you think they need to be an order of magnitude bigger? 2. You're missing the distinction between brand advertising and action o

Thanks for organizing this. Looking forward to it. And, if anyone is looking for a place to live, I'm planning to organize a "startup house": - 6 to 8 hackers rent a big house and live together. - You have to be working on a startup either

Because this is only the beginning, and soon you'll have versions that carry ten times more than a mule, travel faster, and can be controlled remotely.

You're making the assumption that I'm advocating 80 hour weeks, and then continuing to argue against it. Maybe I wasn't clear. Expecting employees to work overtime is obviously not the right approach. Creating an environment that's so much

Maybe I wasn't too clear. The employer didn't ask me or expect me to work overtime. In fact my manager was asking me to go home. But I was enjoying the work so much, I did it for the fun of it. And I would do it again if I come across inter

By the way, if you know graphics designers who might be interested, we'd appreciate it if you pass along the invite. We have more developers than what the 4 graphics designers who have signed up so far can handle. And we're open for more sp

I like the concept, but I'd recommend that you allow people to browse all submitted errors and provide solutions. And, you'll need to give an incentive for people to help. For example, have a list of "Top Problem Solves" or karma points.
